Baby shower FUN!

Well I thought I would do a quick update since I had some pictures to share! Tonight Kathy and I headed down the street to Melese's home for a joint Baby Shower for Julia and JoLynn...both due this summer!! It was a really fun night of hanging out with all the girls and watching the girls open some really cute gifts. Everyone out did themselves and these two babies will be two stylin' cuties from tonight's festivities!! The food tonight was delicious...I went right from work so it was greatly appreciated! Both mommies to be are looking adorable with there baby bumps...and there was an abundance of adorable babies there too. Everywhere you looked was cuteness! I cannot wait to meet Baby Taylor and Baby Blakeney!!

I was also super excited tonight because I was able to see miss Kailey Podeszwa and her awesome mommy Kristine!! I hadn't seen them since Kaileys arrival and boy has she changed...she is so long and tiny...soooo adorable!!! So that just made the night that much better.

I've decided that all of the girls need to have a craft night, because Melese made the cutest little scrapbooks for Jo and Julia out if paper bags...there were amazing! She is one talented lady!!

Just wanted to share one picture from my Saturday night. Kathy and Jeff dropped the kids off to hangout with auntie Karen for awhile and we had some fun and of course I took some pictures. This is one of my favorites because all the kids are looking...the only downfall is Jake's juice mustache...kid needed his face scrubbed to get rid of it!!!hahha!! Jessica's smile is much better now too...so glad that sideways tooth came out!!!

Anyway hope everyone is having a GREAT week... Mines been busy but good...I finished Volunteering this past Tuesday and it was kinda a sad day because my kids were all saying how much they'd miss me and I'll totally miss them. We're going to have a picnic towards the end of school and I told Wanda to make sure to let me know when it is! It's OFFICIAL...we are going to the mount...all results are in and the Mount is our BEST option and we couldn't be more excited!!! I'm glad we'll be staying in the city!! I'm excited we are going out to dinner with Brandon's parents tomorrow night...we haven't hung out with them in a little while so it should be a fun night!!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!! Love you all lots and keep those posts coming!!!

One Tree Hill Night...see blog update below

So I couldn't get my blog and my slide show to work together so please read below to see my update that goes along with this slide show!!! Enjoy!!

Fun Times in the Bing Home

This is the post that goes along with the above slide show...couldn't get them to work together!!!

So nothing too crazy has been going on in the Bing home as of late, but I have a few things to recap on our blog today. You guys are all probably wondering what my slide show is all about. Well a few years ago my friend Nicole introduced me to a show called One Tree Hill, they don't play it here so for year my sisters and I had been watching it online, which has been a bit of a pain. Finally living on my own, I was able to get the channel and One Tree Hill night was born. We get together every Tuesday night and watch our show which has been jammed pack with excitement this season. If there is anyone who watches or loves the show, Tuesday nights at 10pm it's on...all are welcome. Recently the show celebrated it's 100th episode and we felt it was a BIG night, so we had a delicious Potluck, with way too much food, but it was all so good! The 100th episode didn't disappoint. The only bad thing was that now the show is on a break until April 14th. Tuesday nights are not the same right now!!

HappyEaster

Everyone!!

I hope that everyone had a great Easter Season. Brandon and I didn't get to see each other too much since he was working, but the time we had together was great! We relaxed on good friday...we were planning on heading to the temple with his parents, but didn't end up making it since we heard it was crazy busy and that people were not able to get into sessions. Which is awesome for the temple and we were so excited about that...but bummed that we couldn't go. I was lucky enough to go on Thursday when Kristiane went through the temple for the first time. It was a really exciting night to have another friend there. Kristiane, Kristine, Davis, Jessica, Kelly, Rob, Dee were all there along with all sorts of other friends. It was a great night and I was so glad I was able to be with her on this great day! Back to Easter...Brandon and I had a delicious Easter dinner Friday night at the Bings, it was really wonderful to be together as a family...and Laureen never fails to produce an amazing dinner!! We're excited that on the next holiday the entire family will be back together as Jaccob returns from his misson on May 7th! We're all VERY excited about that!! On Easter, Brandon had to work, so I went to my parents for dinner and my mom delivered a super easter dinner too!! We had 15 people there... mom, dad, laura, cory, me, four missionaries and the Nelson 6. The dinner was full of laughter and fun times! Jessica, Sarah and I had a blast watching High School Musical 2 clips on the computer after dinner!! The picture is of the cards I made this Easter season...I think they turned out pretty dang cute!!

Jacob is FOUR years old now!!

So our Jacob turned four years old this past friday!!! It's really crazy how big Jake has gotten, because he was just born shortly after Brandon and I started dating....and now he's 4!!! I called him earlier on in the day to wish him a Happy birthday but he was getting a hair cut, so they called me back and I think I was more excited about his birthday then he was. TV and Baby donuts were too distracting. So on a snowy Friday night Brandon and I headed over to Kathy and Jeff's for Jake's Birthday party. We picked up our enlarged wedding pictures on the way and I'm excited to finally get the larger ones up...although I do need to pick up some new frames for them before they can go up. It was a really fun night filled with fun and family...everyone ventured out in the weather and it was well worth it. Jake really wanted to open presents first, so we all gathered around to watch the little guy in all his glory. He was too cute, he had to remove every piece of paper off the box or every piece of tissue from the bag before he could get to the gift. But then before he could get to the gift he needed to put all the garbage away in the bag, such a neat and tidy little guy!! He got some great gifts for his Birthday...lots of cars, clothes, books and even some money for his Bank from nanny and pops. Jake moved onto the cake next...it was a transformer cake!! We all sang to him and he went for the candles before we could get to taking the pictures. As soon as the singing and candles were done, Jake went right for the toy on the cake...it was pretty funny!! The cake was DELICIOUS... it was a super store cake and that is the way to go...the cake is great and the icing is amazing...just ask Laura and Sonja...they both enjoy eating just the icing...those crazy girls. There were chips, fruit, veggies and punch too...kathy never fails to deliver a great spread of food when we come over to her house!! Everyone left the party filled to the brim with yummy treats!!

Brandon and I Love these family events because we get to see all our nieces and nephews...so I always take advantage off this time to get some new pictures of the kids and Brandon and I went the opportunity comes along. Brandon thinks I take way too many pictures, but I look at them more as memories. The kids have all gotten so big it's really fun to look back at all my pictures and see how much they've all grown! It's crazy to think that Georgia will be One in May...it feels like just yesterday that she was born and now she is crawling around like crazy and is just super funny and entertaining. To see more pictures from the party check out facebook because there are way more posted on there..well there will be soon after I finish my update!

I want to send my Congratulations out to Julia and JoLynn on the

exciting announcements that they posted this week...it's a girl for the Blakeneys and a Boy for the Taylors...I'm super excited for you both, and can't wait your little babies!!! Also a Congratulations goes out to Phil and Sonja who are expecting baby number 2. It's funny at Jake's 2nd birthday we took a picture of us and Sonja was quite pregnant with Ethan and now at Jakes 4th birthday we take a picture of us and she's just pregnant with baby number two...ohh how time flies!!! I'm excited to see what Baby Nelson number two will be. I've totalled it up the other day and I know 19 people who are expecting Babies...how Crazy is that...and then on top of that there are like nine people who have recently had babies...WOW!!! That's all I can say to that!!

Brandon Got Accepted to the MOUNT!

I don't know if I had mentioned this but I thought I would mention it again. Brandon and i have both been accepted to the mount here in Halifax and fingers crossed we will be staying here. Brandon is still waiting to hear from the school in Ontario, since it is a one year program but we'll see. I was also accepted to St.FX which is exciting to find out, I thought my interview went really well, so it's nice to find out that it did go well and I was accepted...it's not an option anymore but it felt good!!!

The last thing to post is just a funny picture for you all to enjoy.Kathy and I have a friend Becca in Utah and some nights we all get on MSN and have a three way conversation, which is always full of laughter. This past conversation we married off Georgia and Cameron...they'd be an adorable couple...hahha!! Anyway I finally experimented with my Scanner that night and got it to work!! So I sent them both some pictures and this is one of my favorites...Kathy and I one winter with our little snowy friend. Hopefully Spring is on it's way soon though and winter will be gone until next season!! Hope you all enjoyed this little blast from the past and my weekly update!! Can't wait to read all your posts!! Have a GREAT week!! Love you all!!
