We are pleased to announce the birth of our little boy. He was born on May 26th. We named him Ryker Michael Nielson and you can see a picture of him on the hospital website at www.holy-family.org. On the left side click on special delivery and then either put in my name or Ryker and he will pop up.
I am doing good. However- I am very tired. Shane's mom came to help with the girls and take care of us. She was wonderful and a joy to have. We tried to talk her into staying for another week but she has a life and I don't think grandpa liked the idea of having him gone another week. Thank you Grandma you will be missed and any time you can come spend some time with us we would LOVE IT!!!!
I will post some pictures and tell you all about the adventure we had at delivery time some time soon. Our little MR. just woke up and is ready to eat.
Thank you for all of your love and we can't wait to show him off to all of you.
Love,
Vonae

Long time
I just wanted to post a few notes.
There has been a lot of changes since the last time I posted. Sorry about that. For those of you who do not know I am expecting our fourth child and are pleased to announce that it's a boy! This pregnancy has been the hardest for me yet. I have five weeks to go and can't wait till he comes.
Our computer that I had all of our pictures on and usually blog on crashed. We are working on getting that fixed. Thankfully we were able to get all of the pictures off of the hard drive. :)
The girls are all doing good. We went on vacation for spring break to a indoor water park which we all loved and will do again. Shane is preparing for his 100 mile bike ride and celebrated his birthday with family and friends, Brianna is playing soccer and softball, Paige is learning to read and loves to do crafts, Lauren has turned two and is talking nonstop.
I will try to keep you a little more updated on how my family is doing and hopefully get some pictures up.

The Ring 11-04-08
Here is a story of a ring. When Shane asked me to marry him he gave me a beautiful ring. I loved it very much. Well- four years into our marriage we went to a family reunion and we were having a blast Dad had brought his new water toys for all of us to enjoy. We had a blast out their on the water. Then once we got back to Grandpa's house I went to put on my ring and I couldn't find it. I had chosen to take it off so I wouldn't loose it in the water. Well- that was a poor chose on my part because I lost it anyway. We looked all over for it. I was quite upset and thought it over many times and the more I thought about it the more I questioned where I had put it for safe keeping. Over the years we hoped that it would show up but I told Shane that if we didn't find it by our 10th wedding anniversary I would love a new ring. I figured out by then we would be done with school and hopefully have a house. Well- I was right and this was the year of our 10th anniversary. When we went to IF to celebrate our anniversary Shane kept leaving and was gone for hours at a time. By the last time I figured that he must be looking for a ring for me. He really liked the place he got it from last time and said he would get it from them again. To say the least I got my ring again. No more plain band for me! Thanks for the beautiful ring Shane. The girls all love my ring and ask if they can wear it and my response is no I'm never taking off this ring (not even in the water)!
Trick -or -Treat 10-31-08
This year as you all know Halloween landed on a Friday!!!! We had a great day and a fun night with our girls this year. Brianna was a GO-Go girl, Paige was a Queen, and Lauren was a monkey! In Bri's school they can't wear costumes or have a Halloween party but they had a Harvest party which from what I could gather included eating fruit and veggies. YEEPPPYYY! After school we dressed them all up and went trick-or-treating downtown. OH- did I tell you that this is the first year I have ever seen kids not have to wear their coats. It was great. We went out for dinner and then did some more trick-or-treating we didn't get home until close to 8:30. The girls loved it because they got a truck load of yummy candy. (We are all enjoying it!)
Another great thing was Shane had taken the day off so it was a great three day weekend for us which doesn't happen very often.
Doesn't she look like a queen. I said she was a princess and she informed me that she was that last year and this year she was now a queen.
Brianna loves to sort out her candy when we get home. One of her favorite things are nerds and smarties. GROSS!
I just realized that we don't have any pictures of Lauren in her costume. She learned to make a monkey sound before Halloween it was adorable. I think she ate the most candy that night because she kept asking dad for more and he would give it to her because she is do darn cute.
This picture is one of the girls out trick-or-treating. Sorry it's sideways I don't feel like redoing it!!! The following picture is before we left the house.

Corn Fabulous 10-18-08
The time had come for the Nielson's to go on a adventure. One where the 4 year old chose the way and the 6 year old found the post markers along the way. Yep! It was corn maze time. The girls were very excited when they found out they got to be a large part of figuring out the maze. We were there for two hours and we did find all 18 markers. However- Shane did have to bite his tongue when Paige wanted to take us in a circle. He did Great! After one hour of the maze Shane decided that he would take control and figure out the maze so we wouldn't be there all day. The girls were fine with that because at this point they were getting hungry and a tad bit tired. Once we finished we headed home and in no time the girls all fell asleep. It was a GREAT ADVENTURE for us
A BOX 9-20-08
Don't you think it's one of the strangest things that when you give a kid a box they are happy for hours. Well this is the case today! Although Lauren did get a tad frustrated when she couldn't get out.
