**Warning!!!** Picture and Info Overload!!

Sorry about the overload! I have been a slacker and have been very busy. But here is what has been happening in our lives right now. Hope you enjoy!

~Bentley Jo~

My cousin Whitney finally had her baby! She is beautiful! Bentley Jo was 6lbs 13oz, and was 21 inches long. She was born Monday and I was so grateful to be able to be there to see her after she was born. It is so amazing to see this little miracle come into such a wonderful family who loves her and is so excited to finally have her here!

Here she is! These are her two older sisters, Chassi is on the left and Kamber is on the right. I love these four girls so much and am so excited for Whitney and Phil!

Chassi couldn't stop smiling! She loves both her little sisters so much and is such a good big sister! Thank you Whit for letting me be a part of such an amazing event! Love you!



~Christmas Tree Time~

This is my favorite part of Christmas! I love putting up our tree and having it lit up at night!

Here is Brock putting the star on top. This is why I married such a tall man! I can barely reach the top of the tree.

This is me putting on the last ornament.

~Girls Night Out~

When we were in Utah for Thanksgiving I was able to have a girls night with Heather and Alicia. It was so much fun! We went and ate at Iggy's in Ogden. It was really good. Thanks for such a fun night girls! Love you both!

~Meet Little Missy~

Here is our new addition to the family! She is also a Mini Schnauzer. We decided to finally get a new little puppy because our other dog, Mia, has been pretty depressed since she lost her friend Sassy, and she is always down when we leave my mom's and take her away from her other friends. She will hopefully be the same color as Mia when she grows up. I forgot how tiring a new puppy can be!! She has so much energy!!

Here she is trying to play with Mia. She is so small she can barely reach the top of the chair!This is me and my girls! Missy is actually chewing on my earring here!! She grabbed on right before the picture was taken!This is my handsome hubby and his girls! Poor guy is now surrounded by girls. He is so sweet to let me get another puppy! Thank you babe!!! Even though she is my Christmas and my Birthday present...I love her!

~JaCkSoN HoLe~

This weekend we were able to meet some of our family in Jackson Hole for the day on Saturday. It was so much fun! This is Brock, me & Mia at Jennie Lake. It sprinkled just a little while we were there. But when we were driving back it started pouring! We saw lightning hit by the road right in front of us! I love the sound of thunder so it was really fun to me.

Here is my hubby and Mia at Jennie Lake.

This is Gramma and Grandpa Haglund. They are so much fun! I love when we are able to see them! I wasn't able to get a picture of Brock's parents but they were with us also. We now plan on trying to visit Jackson some more since we live so close. We'll see how that pans out.

~Happy Birthday Brock~

Last weekend my handsome husband turned 27! It was so much fun! I am so grateful for him and all he does for me! He really is the best I could ever hope or pray for! He treats me like a queen! Thank you babe for being so wonderful!

I love you!!!!We decided to stay here in Idaho and invite some family over for dinner and cake. I didn't get a picture of his present but my family and I gave him a back massager that fits in any chair! It's wonderful! His job is a little stressful so he deserves to be able to come home and relax. We only invited a few family members over because we lack enough seating to invite more. :( We invited my cousin Whitney and her husband Phil. They have two beautiful girls that came with them also. Here are some pics of our fun night.

This was our first attempt to get a picture of me with both girls. I love these two to death!!! The little one on the left is Kamber, she is 14 months old. And the one on the right is Chassi, she is almost 3! And their mother is expecting #3. They are hoping for a boy, we'll see how it turns out.

This is my beautiful cousin Whitney and her husband Phil. We had a lot of fun with them!

Brock was trying to help Chassi eat her cupcake. It wasn't going too well, she was still managing to get messy of course! But at least it made for a cute picture. She's trying to say cheese but still waiting for another bite.
This is my favorite pic of Kamber. She is absolutely adorable! She has the cutest dimples! She is also one of the toughest little girls I have ever seen. She has the walking thing down great, it's the not tripping that's getting her. When she does fall though she never cries! She has fallen on the cement so many times and scraped her little face and still gets up grinning. It's amazing!
Saturday we went to Blackfoot because the company Brock works for was having a ground breaking ceremony because they are expanding. While we were there we noticed that something was going on at the lake. So we decided to stop over and watch. This is what we came across. They were racing snowmobiles across the lake! It was so much fun to watch!

One poor guy actually sank his right before he got to the bank. You can barely see the handlebars sticking up out of the water to the right, and the other rider is sitting on the bank to the left. That's how close he was to finishing.

*Beautiful Day for a Wedding*

My sister-in-law Randee got married Friday!!! It was a wonderful day! They were married in the Ogden Temple on Friday morning. It was a beautiful ceremony! And of course Randee looked absoultely gorgeous! And me being the forgetful person that I am, forgot to get my camera out of the car when we were at the temple! I did however get some pics from the reception.This is the whole family now with Tyler! In the back there is Brock, Robert, Shaun & Tyler, the new son-in-law! In front is me & Randee. Her dress was so gorgeous!

This is one of the cutest pics I saw the photographer take! I love it! On the left is Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen, then Tyler and Randee, and then on the right is Gramma and Grampa Haglund! All four grandparents have been like my own grandparents since I met them. They have always been so kind and loving to me! I'm so lucky to marry into such a wonderful family!

This is me and Danielle. Isn't she adorable!? She was my little friend for the reception. She is Sam and LaDawn's daughter. Sam was Brock's boss when he lived in Utah. She was so much fun! She has the best manners for a 3 year old and she talks like she is a lot older than her age. She absolutely refused to smile though.
And of course these are my wonderful parents! They came up to the reception for a little bit. I am so grateful for both of them! They have been so supportive of everything Brock and I do. And now you can really see where I even get all my mannerisms from, my mom and I didn't even try to stand exactly the same way, it just happened!

Thank you Randee and Tyler for letting us share in your special day! We wish you the best! And remember to enjoy every minute together! Don't sweat the small stuff, cuz in the end it doesn't matter. We Love You Both!!!

*Very Proud Older Sister*

I know it's been a while since my last post and thanks Alicia for pointing out that since I don't really see anybody I should probably be posting more often, sorry for my slacking!

I know I have complained to some friends and family about people who brag and don't blog. I always said I would never do that but I am going to be a hypocrite right now because I have some siblings that I am very proud of and I want them to know that...

These are my 2 little brothers. (Well not so little any more!) Alex is on the left (the taller one) and Brady is on the right (the happy one). These two boys are so very special to me! They are very very very smart and also very caring! They have always been so protective of me and it has only gotten worse the taller they get! We'll start with Alex. He will be a SENIOR next year! I feel really old! He has been a school officer every year since 7th grade. And he just recently made Student Body Officer for Fremont High next year!!!!! I can easily see why he is so very liked by many of his class mates! He is very funny, very compassionate, and very athletic. The hair doesn't hurt either! He is currently on the high school soccer team and doing very well in his school work. And he absoultely loves that he is now almost a whole foot taller than his very short older sisters. I love this boy so much and am so very proud! I brag like I'm his mom or something! To me he should still be a little srawny 8 year old running around annoying the crap out of me! Where has the time gone...Now on to Brady. He is so very smart! He has got a talent with math that I envy! He pulls amazing grades as well and is very social! He made Junior Class Officer for next year also!!!!! He has been and officer since 7th grade too and after taking a break form it his sophmore year decided he wanted to do it again. He is on the high school soccer team as well and is one amazing, aggressive player! I would hate to play against him! He too loves that he is so much taller than most of his family! And he was also blessed with really good hair! ( I missed out on that blessing!) I really do look up to these two boys, literally and figuratively, they have been a blessing to my family since the day they were born! I love you and miss you both so much!

Now one more brag spot for my little sister natalie....

This is natalie, She will be in 7th grade next year! Now that makes me feel extremely old! She has, and continues to grow into a gorgeous girl!!!! She is the only one in our family to be blessed with beautiful brown eyes! I have loved and envied her eyes since she was little, not to mention her long thick gorgeous hair! (again i missed out on that blessing) She too is one very smart little girl! She has always done very well in school and I know she'll do a great job in junior high! She is so full of life and energy that I can barely keep up with her! And even though I am her older sister I look up to her as well! She has one of the strongest testimonies of the gospel that I have ever seen in a 12 year old, she has very high standards and goals that I know she will hold onto for the remainder of her schooling. I love her so very much and am so protective of her! Luckily she hasn't passed me up in height yet but I am sure that day is coming because it's not hard to pass a shorty like me. I do have older siblings that I am so very proud of also and I will brag about them once I get pictures of them. I hope you've enjoyed my brag spot today!

Here are some random pictures from this weekend. It was my aunt, grandma & grandpa's birthdays. I didn't get my camera out in time before everyone left so I only got a couple pics of who was left at the party. My family drove up from Utah to surprise my grandparents for their birhtday's.

This is my Grandma Burke, my mom, me, and Natalie. You can tell where I get my looks from! I am so grateful that I am able to live by my Grandma! We have so much fun together whether it's grocery shopping or just going to lunch, she is an amazing lady! I do miss having my mom close by though...She has become one of my best friends and it's hard to not have her here.

These are my adorable parents!!! My dad has been my hero my whole life! He coached me in soccer since I was little! Sorry mom, but I've always been a daddy's girl! He works very hard to provide for his family and he does an amazing job at it!! I love him so much and wouldn't trade him for anything!!!

And finally here is the love of my life, my best friend, & my eternal companion!!! Brock is the most amazing man I have ever met! He is very supportive of my insane idea to go back to school and I appreciate his patience with me while I struggle through it! He is a very loving and adoring husband! He works so very hard to provide for us and he does a wonderful job! I could never ask for a better man in my life! I love you Babe!!!!
