A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That!!

So I wanted to start tonight's post off with something I found really funny...no one else may but I did. So last week I think I was watching So You Think You Can Dance- which I LOVE!!! Anyway and I was laying on my couch all bundled up because I love to be warm, which sometimes means that I will tuck my hands underneath me so that stay nice and cozy- I have cold hands what can I say. So anyway the show ends and I get up and I go in to check my e-mail before bed and I suddenly look down at my hand and notice that it is all blotchy and red which always concerns me. I was a little stressed for a moment when I suddenly realized that my hand now held the imprint of the letter O! Random you might think but it made all too much sense to me...that's what you get for having ROOTS written across your butt...so for all those who love a good sweat pant with a word across the but be careful because it can imprint. If you enlarge the picture you can see the full shape of the O, and I just had to take a picture!! haha!!

I wanted to also give a quick shout out to my father and father-in-law...

Happy Father's Day!!!

I hope they know how important they are to us!!!

So what's been going on in our family this past week... not a whole lot, both Brandon and I have been working hard and enjoying the brief times we get together. We just had a crazy busy week at work, we are not sure what caused a week like that but it was awesome we had some great sales and we also got a new leather bag wall installed. I've been meaning to take a picture of it, and hopefully will tomorrow. It looks so amazing, and Ben and Michael were too much fun to have in the store to install the wall. It made for a dusty and hectic week but it all came together. Brandon and I went two Friday's ago and saw the new Narnia movie... Prince Caspian...which was soooo good. It wasn't really Brandon's type of movie but I love love love it. Such an exciting and great tale and it didn't help that Caspian was pretty dang cute!! Brandon's been enjoying having his brother home, they went out and played some baseball the other night and then the group came back to play cards and have pizza. It's fun having them in our home. This past Friday we began another job in our apartment. We've been wanting to paint our bathroom for awhile because the paint it was painted with before was horrible. So we decided to paint that and touch up my dresser with the glossy black paint. The bathroom was my task to take on and although I don't want people to look at it too close because I'm sure it's not perfect-I'm super proud of the job I did and how it looks. I will post a picture when it's all done.

That night as you can see from the picture above we went to my parents house to wash some clothes, have a BBQ and of course see the kids. We love any opportunity to spend time with the kids, we love having them over to our place. That night since it was so beautiful we headed down to the playground with them, even though it was super windy. We had a great time there and we were all pretty drained by the end of the night...except Georgia she was in a crazy mood when Kathy, Jeff and Darren showed up. To see all the pictures check out facebook but for now here are a few of my favorites...

Georgia Marie Nelson... don't you just love her she has the greatest smile that can just brighten everyones day. She is a real trooper. She put up with all the crazy things we made her do at the play ground and didn't even cry once...man I love this kid!!

This was a super cute shot of Big Brother Jake taking care of his baby sister. Plus his smile was much nicer in this shot then in the other where he is looking much more forced to say CHEESE! I don't think Georgia was ready for what came next and we threw her down the slide but she's slowly warming up to the idea of the slide!This is my little cutie Sarah Grace. I think she looks adorable in this picture. She is looking more grown-up everyday and I love her to pieces. She recently as I mentioned lost another tooth so she is showing off the new hole in her mouth and her cute new hair do very well! This is my first baby...well baby niece I should say. She is 7 now and is so grown up. She is such a little cutie and super smart she has grown a love for reading chapter books and we had matching colored shirts on that night which was pretty cute.

I must also mentioned that she learned a lesson about drugs that night and how you should not take anything from strangers or eat anything that you don't know what it is because it can make you very sick. How you might ask she learned this lesson...well it was from watching Coronation Street with her favorite auntie. A little girl was in the hospital because she had taken some drugs that she found in her dolls head. Jessica wouldn't go get a bath until the show was over and she know what had happened to little Bethany on the show...Kathy you can update her that Bethany is doing much better and her uncle David is being punished for what he did!

This Final picture was a really funny one from our night at the playground. Brandon had shown the kids how much fun it would be to wind the swing up and let it go...which I'm sure we all did and loved as children. Anyway Jake wanted a turn so Brandon wound him pretty tight. So he's having a blast un-winding when he gets to the end and is jerked a bit and the swing started twisting the other way....he fell off the swing and landed pretty softly with his feet stuck to the swing still. I didn't get to snap a picture because we were more worried about him being okay...which is was...ohhh it was a priceless moment that I should have been video taping!

The final thing to mention would be the wedding reception that I went to with my sister and friends Saturday night. I'm sure many of you know that Nathan and Caverly got married back in may and are officially the Smith Family. We had the chance to celebrate their big day Saturday night. The reception was a lot of fun with really cute games, toasts, a slide show, and yummy deserts. It was a fun night to hangout and celebrate with everyone. Again you can check out the pic's on facebook but here are a few from the night. I just want to say how much I love this couple. They are so adorable together and I'm so glad that they'll be in Halifax ward... It's fun because Nathan and I go back to the youth days. Caverly and I only met a few years ago but she is such an awesome gal and I can't wait to get to hangout with her sometime soon!!

This is one of the deserts that we had at the reception. Cav said that Nathan's aunt Gina makes it and it takes about 10 hours to make...probably because it's layers of colored Jello...too cool and pretty delicious. We just had to take pictures of it's coolness!! This is Caverly and Nathan Smith at their little table for two. They both looked amazing that night, they could seriously be models in a wedding magazine...goodness just look at those bright white smiles!!! They are a match made in Heaven for sure!
This was half of the table that I sat with...who knew that we all planned to wear black and white tonight to this event...I had a blast sitting with the girls they are definitely good for laughs and fun conversation...plus Vanessa just hooked me up with Laguna Beach seasons 1 &2 and The Hills season 1 &2 and I've been enjoying them so so much!! Thanks Vanessa!
This was probably my highlight of the night. We were getting ready to head home and were just chatting with the bride and the groom when the final song from High School Musical 2 came on...and that is when this picture occurred when Caverly and I figured out that we both share a crazy obsession with the High School Musical Movies. We're already planning on watching them together and she's going to teach me the moves to the song "All For One" the finale of the 2nd movie...and hopefully we'll get to go see the third together.

Becca you would have had so much fun meeting another person that shares our love of these movies. I was telling Cav about you and your post about the movie and how you live down the street from east high... i wish you could come to the movie with us it's going to be a blast!

This is just a shot if me and the bride...her dress was beautiful and so perfect for her figure...she had a hand in the design for it and could seriously go into business because it was super cute.

They are a beautiful couple and I'm so excited for them as they begin their lives together!

This week is going to be a fun but sad one because we are loosing 2 great employees at Roots. Jeff and Farah...we are so sad that it's their last week...they'll be missed for sure! I'm excited though to hear all about their adventures. I'll hopefully be posting some pic's from tomorrow night. Jeff and I are going over to Kathy's to play some wii before Jeff moves to England. Man I'm going to miss you Jeff!! I was especially bummed tonight when i was watching the Bachelorette previews for next week which look super good and I realized I won't get to chat with Jeff about it next week at work...bummer!! Farah is my OTH friend we have the greatest chats about our show...we're going to have to e-mail each other about season 6!!

Last thing to mention...

We had another successful nursery week!!!

I get so excited when nursery works and we stick to the routine...what was great was that this week two of my kids that sometimes have a harder time leaving their parents had a GREAT week Both little Halle and Ethan came right in and were brave and made it through the whole nursery time without any tears...woohoooo!!!!! Loving the nursery success!!!!

Anyway it's late but I wanted to get this post in...I'm off to finish Lord of the Rings Book one and then continue with Can You Keep A Secret... if you want a funny read check this book out so far I've laughed out loud a few times.

Oh and I'm going to say sorry for anything being spelt wrong or not gramatically correct...I was just too tired to go back and re-read my post!!

Night Night Everyone...until next post!!!
