William's stats!

William had his 9 month check-up Wednesday. He weighs 16 lbs, his height is 27.5 in and his head is 18.1 inches round. Which means...
his percentages are...
Weight: 1%
Height: 25%
Head: 71%
Yes, my son has a big head...but it's to hold his big brain in!!! :)

Jed's Fishing Trip to Otter Creek

Wednesday, Jed went to Otter Creek with a friend. Jed took his boat and said it ran like a charm. The weather was beautiful and he actually had a good catch. Between the two of them they caught 26 fish! He later learned they weren't as big as they usually are, but still happy for what he did catch. On the way home wasn't much of a happy trip though. He dropped Scott off and when he was about 20 minutes away from our house, one of the trailer's tires blew. It being 11:30 at night, he didn't want to make me load up the boys (who were asleep) and bring down the spare. So he drove the rest of the way home going 10-15 miles an hour and luckily made it home safely (at about 1 AM). Check out the pix!

New Pictures!!!

The boys needed updated pictures, so I dressed them up and took them and the camera outback and started clicking!!! I've also added a bit about each boy to let you all know how (what) they're doing...

Huh???

I had to add this, I love the looks they both gave me!!!

Reid Nelson

Reid is definitely a 2 year old, but we still love him! He has his attitude at times and it's quite embarrassing when you're caught at the store by a neighbor, but he has his good side too. He's very energetic, a good big brother and loves fast rides. He has so much to say and talks a lot though you can't understand everything. For the most part I can decipher what he is saying! He loves anything you can drive...motorcycles, buses, race cars, airplanes, helicopters, etc.

William Thor

William is now 9 months old and is a very frustrated boy. He can sit up by himself and can army crawl, but doesn't go as fast as his older brother does. So he gets VERY frustrated and complains constantly. Hopefully soon he will learn how to get up on his knees and crawl. Whenever you put him down he keeps his legs straight because he always wants to stand up, though he is still very wobbly. He won't let you feed him unless he is able to feed himself with anything he can grab and put in his mouth. He loves his big brother (i guess 4 lbs counts as bigger). He thinks Reid is hilarious and always wants to be with him. He is a joy to have!

Lagoon!

when brad and gina and their family were here in utah; andrew, heidi, sam, nancy, me and the boys and brad and his family all went to lagoon for a day. We had so much fun (and this time no one tried to kick the teenagers out of the park!) this was reid's first time on all of the rides and he loved them all!. his favorite was the ladybug and the dragon. The ladybug takes you straight up, then drops and bounces you down. reid loved it wheni or mom took him on it but not so much with sam. he was fine in the line, but once the ride started he wanted off! the dragon is a little roller coaster; even william was able to ride on it! there were a couple of rides i wasn't able to go on with him but luckily meagan was there and wanted to ride with him. (unfortunately kayla was too big for the rides). we all had a great time and i know reid would love to go back any time.

Texas or School?

For about a year now we have been wanting to move to
Austin, TX...and still do. However, after Jed's trip down and nothing
working out, we're strongly considering staying here in Utah and getting
his schooling done. Jed will work to the end of this year and quit to go to
school full-time starting January 2008. It will only take a year (possibly one more
semester). Then Jed will have many more options available for work with his
Bachelor degree. We will be moving out of the house we've been in for 2 years in 2 months.
We will be down sizing from a 3 story, 6 bedroom house to a 1 story 2 bedroom
apartment!!! We've had it so easy for so long we now have to learn how to struggle!
But once we're done it will all be worth it!

Bubbas

I recently bought these cute PJs from Old Navy, so i had to take pictures of them. Reid currently weighs 20 lbs and William weighs 16 lbs! So when Reid wants to hold William, i have to sit him down first then reid squats behind him and wraps his arms around him! They are so cute together and william thinks reid is hilarious. i'll have to post a video of reid and william together, as soon as i get it figured out!

New Blog and Name

I am so excited to start this blog, I've been wanted to do it for so long. I hope to learn quickly how to do everything and make it cute! I choose the name Bubbas for the blog name because Bubba means brother (in the south) and my to boys (brothers to each other) are the joys of my life. I love being with them, even when they are so moody and grumpy.
