Season's Greetings

I posted the same thing last year at this time...Season's Greetings. This is the time of year for all of the new shows to debut and then to find out what happened to all of our characters over the summer.

So here are the 13 things I am most excited about:

1. OF COURSE, Grey's Anatomy - I am dying. My prediction is that Mer spends most of the season trying to decide between McDreamy and McVet. I think she will choose to be single for a little. Afterall, it is television and if she and McDreamy get together right now, the drama will lesson. I am so excited. Waiting one more second is going to kill me....

2. The Office - Jim and Pam - I don't know what will happen there. I love these two so I am so excited. Plus, the show in one word is "hilarious". Smartest writing on TV.

3. Lost - This is the final straw for Lost and myself. If the season starts strong, I am staying addicted. If the season starts weak, I am going to have to let it go. I am really interested to see the triangle between Kate/Jack/Sawyer unfold and to find out about the others.

4. Desperate Housewives - Wysteria Lane was not the same last year. This year it really needs to step it up. I really enjoyed the season finale so I will be interested to see what happens with all the girls.

5. Biggest Loser - This show is so inspirational. I just love watching everyone have a goal and go for it. This should be an interesting season with 50 contestants.

6. 6 Degrees - This show looks interesting to me. It is on after Grey's so I am sure I will watch it or give it a chance.

7. Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip - I DVRd it Monday and didn't really like it. Did you? I love all of the actors, but the set up was hard to follow. What did you think?

8. Brothers and Sisters - Sally Field, Tom Skerit, Calista Flockhart, and a great cast. It has the potential to be awesome.

9. The Bachelor - my faith in the Bachelor was shaken after there wasn't even an "After The Rose" for Dr. Travis. I am not sure what will happen. I will probably start off watching it again.

10. Deal or No Deal has been great this week. I love people winning money and I am so stinking jealous of them!

11. Days of Our Lives - The new Shawn appears and we find out Claire is really his. I am so ready for a change in this story. Hope and Bo are on the road to rekindling and Jack and Jen are out the door. What are your predictions for the Fall?

12. Meredith Viera on the Today - I think she has done a pretty good job so far, of course I only get to watch the first 10 minutes before work.

13. Grey's Anatomy - I have to go back to this...I cannot wait!!!!!!

There is my stretched 13 for this week.

I want your thoughts, predictions, comments, anything. I am ready!

Season's Greetings.

The Nelsons...a nap time story

One day, 2 girls decided to take a nap on the couch.

The baby girl decided that nap time was over in only 45 minutes...

She was pleased with her decision.

The Mommy girl tried to change the Baby girl's mind.

It did not work.

The baby did not finish her nap and neither did her mom.

The End

8 months

Here are some pictures of Carley when she turned 8 months old a couple of weeks ago. These are special to me because the dress she is wearing is the dress I wore when I was a baby and the blanket she is sitting on it the blanket that my sweet aunt made for me when I was a baby. This aunt was my mom's youngest sister and passed away in 1990. I look forward to telling Carley about so many people that she will get to meet one day and that look down on her from above.

The only reason I ordered the picture below is because I love her legs so much!!

my new internet wastes of time

I am currently addicted to two new websites.

One of them is www.kraftfoods.com. It is the best online recipe station. One reason I love it is because there are so many options for everything. For instance, I love meatloaf and Cody hates meatloaf. The other day some at the station cooked meatloaf and Cody LOVED it. I asked him why he liked it and he said, "Because it had bacon on it and no ketchup with it". I had never heard of a meatloaf recipe with bacon so I went to the Kraft website and found a lot of different recipes to choose from including cheesy bacon meatloaf, Cody's new favorite. Another reason I like it is because the ingredients are all normal stuff (of course Kraft suggestions) so often it is stuff I already have or stuff that would be at any grocery store. While there, you need to register for the free Food and Family magazine that goes out every quarter. The recipes ar so good and so easy. My mom is loves the magazine too and she is a very good cook.

Also, I am addicted to web sudoku. This game keeps me busy and I love problem solving games like this. You need to check it out. It is too fun and once again, it is free.

Happy Surfing.

Friends and Babies

In the past couple of weeks we have been blessed to hold lots of new babies. 2 weeks ago Cody's sister and her husband had their 3rd baby, a little girl named Campbell, and Cody's oldest brother Aaron and his wife had their 2nd baby, a little boy named Alex. It is so fun to see all of these new precious lives.

Last night we got to eat with our friends the Kings and hold their precious little 2 month old, Elise. Some of you haven't gotten to see her picture yet so I wanted to show her off.

I love it when my friends and family have babies and I think you should all have another one so I can hold and love on yours. You know I always post that you look so good holding babies in your arms and I mean it. Also, I know that getting pregnant is not as easy as we make it sound sometimes when we say it so flippantly. I know that ovulation, hormones, and fertilization are difficult and emotional topics and I want you to know that I pray for you guys often knowing with confidence that you will look great holding the baby God has planned for you in your arms very soon.

A boring post....

This is a totally boring post. My friend Amy posted about a carseat the other day and I thought it was a good idea. We are starting to shop for the front facing car seats. What kind do you use? Do you like it? Any tips or suggestions to look for?

I'll come up with a better post soon.

Oh, and I made 5 more bows. You really do need to make your own bows. It is so much cheaper than buying them. The most expensive one so far has cost me $1.37 to make.


Okay, that's it for now
