Day #1

{My list of things I am thankful for are not necessarily giong to be in order. However, today's is definitely my #1 thing I am grateful for}

I am grateful for my testimony of Jesus Christ. My testimony did not come easy but I treasure it more than anything else. My testimony gives me the strength, courage and faith I need to make righteous choices in an unrighteous world. I understand the importance of my temple marriage (to the best man ever!) and I understand my accountability in raising my children. I am grateful to have the knowledge that Jesus Christ died for me and that through Him I can be forgiven and live again with our Father in Heaven. Without my testimony, my life would be very different. I feel blessed to have the knowledge, comfort and peace that comes in knowing our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Tis the Season.....

I love this time of year. After a great Thanksgiving visit with all my family in Idaho and a great Sunday Church service, I have decided that I need to be more vocal about the things I am grateful for. I am blessed with a great family, wonderful friends, healthy children, a husband that still has a job and many many other things. Every day in December I am going to list (or talk about something I am grateful for). Tomorrow will be day #1. (31 things...should be no problem, right?!)

Heros...

My aunt is the beautiful bald woman in the pink shirt. Aunt Jackie- we love you, you are in our prayers...Get well soon!! (sorry, don't know how to skip the commerical at the beginning)

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

I was driving down Elk Grove Florin Blvd today and saw this flag! I went out of way to drive under it so that I could show my kids and talk to them about this special day, our wonderful country and how blessed we truly are. The site of this GIANT flag gave me goosebumps! THANK YOU to all those who have fought to protect the freedoms that I take for granted everyday! We are so blessed to live in the wonderful country!!

Halloween...

Ok ok so I am a little slow but better late than never. Halloween was another fun event for the Nelson's this year!!!

Happy Birthday Jamie~ LOVE YOU!!

Cooper's New Song...

Down by the bay, where the watermelon grows, back to my house, I dare not go, for if I do my mother would say, have you ever seen a moose kissing a house, down by the river.

I don't know why but this cracked me up! He tried really hard. He was a little off key, a lot off melody and I think he combined a few songs into one....but he tried! :)
