The Nelsons Nest

Vincent's Award

Last Thursday we had Vincent's end of season Volleyball banquet. The had a great time spending what seemed like a TON of money playing video games while eating pizza. Vincent was the happiest at the end of the banquet knowing that all of his hard work had paid off..... This is what the coach presented him with.

YEAH Vincent... We

are so proud of you!!!

Girls Night out & Father Son Campout

Tho boys left last weekend for the Father Son Campout. Amanda and I went to a Pampered Chef party with some girlfriends while the boys went camping......

yeah, shopping, food and friends

The pictures were beautiful of where they camped.

I asked Brian if he had any of the two of them and unfortunatley

he said no.

Making Progress

The second weekend in May was the first weekend we did not have any company. Brian and Vincent took advantage of the warm weather and headed to the back yard. When I got back from a run with Amanda this is what I found.....

They both were so excited to plant the

seed. Now it's just the waiting game.

Easter

Easter weekend was so much fun at The Nelson's Nest. We started the weekend with grandma Linda coming into town on Thursday night. Friday mid morning Roger, Lisa, Isabel and Kaitlyn all arrived from Santa Barbara. It was a fun, crazy busy weekend. Vincent went with the Young Men in the Ward to Pima for the Annual Boy Scout Triathlon and placed 96th out of 1059 boys. We were pretty darn proud of him.... Saturday we colored eggs, went ice skating and had a lot of fun hanging out together. Sunday morning of course we had an Easter Egg hunt for Isabel. Most important Brian blessed Amanda in Sacrament Meeting. As some of you know, Easter Sunday holds a special place in our hearts, even more than normal. (Vincent being ordained, Brian being baptized and ordained both on different Easter Sundays)
It was such a special spiritual weekend with family and friends.
