Bryten


Bryten is getting so big she can hold her head up when daddy gives her time on her tummy!

FAMILY PICTURES




We got together last Friday and took some pictures of the family at the Mesa Arts Center. I copied a couple of my favorites from the girl's blogspots to show off. If you want to see more you can check their blogspots too.

Wide eyed little Bryten


Her Daddy just sent me this one! She is so alert!

We are so blessed!!





The girls all came to see Papa and Grandma for Halloween last night. I think we have the most beautiful grandchildren in the world!! We are so very blessed with our daughters, our son in laws and our grandaughters! Even Bruiser (Brooke and Riley's puggle) came dressed as a pumpkin like his little sis, :) but my pictures with him in them didn't turn out. You will have to check the girl's blogs to see if they got any of him!

Just a little more bragging!!




We went to visit little Miss Bryten last night. She is such a cutie! TOMORROW I will have some more fun pictures of all the grandaughters because they promised to stop by Grandma and Papa's house for Trick or Treating!!

Bryten Elizabeth Nelson


She is here!! We are Grandma and Papa again!!!
Brooke and Riley finally had her and after about twenty four hours gave her a name. It took them a while, but Bryten seems to fit well.
She was born on Friday, the 26th, at 6:29 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long. She came home today!
We have no idea where she got the beautiful head of hair, but her Mama the hairdresser is excited about it!
Now with three of the most beautiful grandaughters in the world, we are waiting on some boys....get going you guys!!

MY HUSBAND THE ATHLETE



Garrett rode in the Tour de Scottsdale a couple weeks ago. He said he felt good and he finished very well. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished with his riding. I love and respect him and he is an inspiration to me.

ZOOFARI



Thanks to Lisa and Nate (their restaurant Zoe's is a sponsor so they gave us tickets) we were able to attend the 2007 Zoofari last night. We had such fun, and thanks to Miss Party Girl Shasta (she got us all out there) we all had a great time on the dance floor. This is Garrett and I cutting a rug!!

Our Anniversary


Garrett and I had our six year anniversary. Since he usually buys anything he wants, he is hard to purchase presents for! I had Brooke take some fun pictures of me and this was one of them. She took the pic and Haleigh "softened" it up. Thank goodness for two talented daughters and photo shop!! : )

COACH


Garrett's Team (The KINGS) are 3 and 0..this Saturdays game will prove to be a more difficult one he said, but so far they are looking good!! It is so much fun to watch!

Garrett's newest past time!!


Garrett has added some new items to the many ways he spends his days. Check out his football team. Go KINGS!!!
He works all day and then goes to practice five nights a week. He is tired but I truly belive he is enjoying it.
The boys are all really great and still at an age where they seem to respect and listen to the men coaching. For those of you that know them, Rob is the head coach and Garrett and John are assistant coaches. They work well together!!

Cycling


I thought I would share a picture of something Garrett and I enjoy together. OK, in the beginning we did it together, but now he has gotten too good for me. : ) This is us after The Tour de Tucson last year. I rode 35 miles and Garrett went over 80 miles if I remember correctly. Garrett is a true cyclist now. He really loves it and keeps up with it often. I enjoy it but have not excelled as much as he has. We are going to do the Tour again this year and my goal is 60 miles. BICYCLE HAUS (the shirts we are wearing) in our favorite bike shop in the valley!!

Being a Grandma and Papa are the best things in the world




The whole family


My daughters and I


These are my two beautiful daughters with me up north this summer.

This is me!


I am happily married to the most wonderful man in the world and I have the very best daughters, son in laws and granddaughters anyone could ask for....and I have one more beautiful granddaughter on the way!

Trip to Florida


The Happy Couple


Garrett and I went to Florida for a business trip this summer. It was probably a little more relaxing for me because I didn't have to go to any classes like he did, but we did have time for a few fun things....relaxing at the hotel, checking out the local beaches and even a trip to aligator country.

My First Blogging Experience!!

I have decided to start my own blog because both my daughters have one and they have had so much fun keeping in touch with all their friends, that I thought maybe I could do the same! I am excited to see where this goes!!!
