Audrey Mae Nielson finally arrived!

She was born May 27 2009 at 2:37 pm in Orem. 8lbs. 13oz. 20in. Strawberry-blonde hair, white eyebrows, looks like dad. Mom did it with out an epidural! The middle name is Mae after Kemari's grandma. We will post more pictures and update more later.

Posting while I can!

I know I have posted my spring yard a lot with Kate, but everyday it got better!

So Kate graduated from 1st yr preschool today! Daddy took of work and met us there and then took Kate to Hogi yogi! She did so great at school this year, and will miss her other half Claire Maloy as she gets to enter Kindergarten next year!

Kate refused to put on the "boy" mask to participate in this song.... are we surprised?

Kate had a hard time wearing the graduation hat, because it ruined her hair, so her BFF Claire was awesome and prevented a fit by fixing her hair for her & putting her headband back in place!

This is Kates teacher Mrs. Amy explaining how wonderful Kate is, and how she is a total princess referring to dresses as gowns, shoes as slippers etc. things we deal w/ daily!

Claire and Kate walking out for graduation! Next year Kate will be back for 3 days a week! Yeah! We love Kate and she is such a good girl!

Kate had fun being "Kemari" and wearing my hat, I only wish I was this cute! Oh the dimples...

Kates new favorite thing vacumning when I do, her vacumn is even Yellow and looks like mine. She even hauls this upstairs, as she "cant stand messes!" Who is she around all day?

This was too funny! Every now and then the boys have some keep out sign on there doors, but Derek and I did not expect this one! To translate Evans handwriting, no girls allowed only Mom and our lovely girlfriends. They will not mention who they are, but the sign is still up! And no when the time comes their real lovely girlfriends will not be allowed in their room!

Evans dang cute 1st grade program, we were so proud of him singing! He has previously stated he only hums! SOOOO cute.

Evan heading back to class to show us his books, and writing from this year! Wouldn't wear a belt, it was either the shirt or the belt not both! I remember this fight w/ Conner last yr! He did let me comb his hair for once though.

Heres Evan at his cute desk! Oh how these days will fly by! If he would quit eating paper that would be a step ahead! you'll notice his name tag on his desk is missing some pieces. He has started doing things like this to get attention for being "funny" Didn't we all have some weird kid in our class who ate paper at some point? I cant believe its now my son!

Here is Evan and Mrs. Kirk his teacher! Its so weird that both of my boys teachers are younger than me!

Conner, Evan and Kate getting ready to take off to get treats! Evan has really done great this year! We love him so much!

Audreys Nursery!!!

The Nursery is finally complete! Derek and his Dad put up the beadboard Sat. I painted and stained the bead board and walls the week before (like a crazy woman!) Heidi hand designed and made the quilt on the crib, what an awesome lady! (BFF) We tied in browns and were able to use some things from Kates old nursery like the mobile and diaper holder. We decided to "get creative" and paint the top rail pink! It wasn't taking the stain right, and we wanted to be done so... tell me what you think????

here is her new fun swing and the boring wall!

This is the last wall, with the old letters I made like 4 months ago! Still using Audrey!

So many may want to know why I am not holding this baby right now! I had a CRAZY weekend with early labor 36 1/2 wks. So I had bleeding on Sunday went in at a 3 cm, and needed to be checked out due to the gest diabetes. So I checked out fine and was told I was fully effaced and ready so I needed to take it easy to get to Friday 37 wks. Well that whole night and into Monday (no sleep) I was contracting 4 min apart for 7 hours! I decided since the hospital was 30 min away we needed to go. We got Dereks Mom @ 5 am and took off! Well I noticed in the car they were "letting up" but when we got there they saw them strong and weak and I essentially got out of a pattern and was sent home! I went to over a 4 in the hour I was there, but they didnt keep me because I was 36 wks. So they got there way and things have calmed somewhat and I am still having contractions off and on, and I lost my plug. So now its a waiting game, but if it happens again they will keep me. As anyone that has had babies knows, I am a rainbow of emotions... Stress, anger, excitement, fear, swelling (is that an emotion?) All in all, it turned out for the best! everyone but me is really sick with bad head colds, and we got the nursery put back together! So in a couple more days or up to 2 weeks (kill me now) the kids should be healthy, and the baby will be more mature. Its hard not to be so selfish right now, but in the end its for the best! This gest Diabetes makes the waiting game so much harder! Derek has been wonderful of course and taken me out a lot to get my mind off of things! We do FINALLY get to see Angels and Demons tomorrow on our hot date! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!
