All tangled up 04-08-07

We went to visit some friend and they has a swing outside and well you can see what happened. It took some time to get her hair off but we were successful .
We enjoyed our time with the Garza's.

Potty

Paige used the potty and for the reward she got to go and pick out some new panties. (MY LITTLE PONY) We are so proud of her but unfortunately she is still having a hard time with using it. Hopefully now that our summer is over she will get better at it.

Preschool Easter Party 3-30-07

Every year Bri's preschool has a Easter party. The girls had a blast spending time with friends, doing activities, and of course eating a ton of goodies. The girls did a craft including glitter. It was a Blast. I'm just glad that I didn't have it at my house. : )


They also had face painting. Brianna didn't want to get it done but Paige was very happy to have it on her face and this time she didn't wipe it off as soon as it got put on. Daddy was able to see it when he got home from work latter that night.
They had all the parents bring plastic eggs full of candy and then they hid them outside. They include the siblings and this year Paige was able to do it without a ton of help. Brianna did a good job helping her sister find the eggs. We came home with more eggs then we took. So we are set for next year!

Papa's Birthday March 2007

We were able to go for the weekend to celebrate papa's birthday. We had fun. The girls enjoyed helping open the presents. :) This year we were able to be with mom and dad for their birthdays. Of course grandma was here helping us with our new little one. (future blog).
I'm trying to catch up on the many months of not blogging to watch for a ton.

finally

Shane has worked some magic and was able to get us back to our blog. I will try to update us soon. So keep looking and we will be posting.

Coming home

Time to come home! Here are some pictures of us as a family getting ready to all be together at home. The pictures of Lauren are much better then the one in the previous blog. I know that there are things that I have skipped to show all of you the pictures of her. I'll try to get more done tomorrow. I hope that you enjoy these pictures and we look forward to catching you up on the things that have gone on. We love you! Enjoy.

Our little girl

This picture was taken when we got to the hospital. Shane wanted a picture of my belly!
After I got all set up in the bed and answered the million questions the girls got up in bed to give me a hug and say goodbye for the day. Shane had to take them to do some shopping and then to a friends house to be watched for the day. They were really sad to leave me at the hospital.
This picture was taken right after she was born. Therefore not the best. Lauren was wide awake the first day it was fun to see her look around.
Daddy's first picture with his little Squeakers (his nickname for her).
Shane went and picked up the girls and brought them to come see their sister at 9:35pm. The both held her, kissed her and loved her. Both of them cried lots when it was time to go.

Our little girl is finally here!!! Lauren Renae Nielson was born on April 20th at 6:46pm
She is beautiful. The girls love her and are enjoying having her here at home. Lauren weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz. and was 21 inches long. So- she is our smallest newborn. The delivery was the hardest one because I went from a 5 to a 10 in an hour/ hour and a half. The meds didn't work very well that last hour. The recovery has been the easiest however. I only had one stitch and they debated on giving me it.
