Alright alright after all the fussing I have received this summer due to lack of updates on my family website I'd like to say I spent the past week updating all of our photos. But considering the last time I posted photos was Oct 07 I guess I had A LOT of catching up to do. So I tried to keep them in the order of newest to oldest I think I did a pretty good job I hope it takes you as long to look at all of them as it did me posting them LOL!!! We had family photos done when we were in Georgia for the first time in forever and the first time with Zoel in them. I've passed many out but know I have missed some if I did it's not on purpose I don't have the hard copies back yet and will have photos in the mail soon I promise, if not remind me. This has been a very busy summer for us... We flew to Georgia to visit family and go to Anthony's family reunion in Gulf Shores... had a blast, man I miss the east coast. That was our first time back east as a family since we moved to Az in 05. We were lucky enough to leave the kids there so they could spend time with Grandma & Grandpa & cousins & Auntie & Uncle. The kids fly back home tomorrow night, I'll be glad to have them back. When Anthony and I returned from Georgia we took the motorcycles on a ride to Vegas for a weekend and saw Jamie Foxx in concert (loved it) we came back from there to get a call only days later that my Grandmother passed away :'( so we drove to Reno to be with my mom's family. It was a nice trip, saw family I hadn't seen in years... many many years. And now I am trying to get the house in order before kids come home and destroy it LOL. Kids start school on the 10th of August. I'll have first and fifth graders. WOW They are doing great just growing up wayyyyyy toooooo fast. I am doing good, the hospital I was working for laid me off in May so now I am looking to get into school and finish my nursing degree and do the school and mom thing full time. I finished my associates degree I'd like to get my bachelors in nursing but it seems as the amount of people trying to get into nursing now far exceeds the amount of slots open each semester for nursing school, but at this point all I can do it pray about it God will make what needs to happen when it's supposed to. Anthony is doing well just hit his 10 year point in the military... half way there. I've convinced him to start taking college classes so he can get his degree. And I think that's it in a nut shell for the last two years. We love you all and miss you. Please don't hesitate to email/call me. I'm trying my best to keep in better touch with friends and family. Life is too short not to tell those you love how important they are to you, on a day other than a special occasion. I like the saying everyday is a gift, that's why we call it the present.

Nelson Family Photos June 2009

Made a stop at Squaw Valley where the 1960 winter Olympics were held. In July there was still snow on the tops of the mountains. Took a ride on a ski lift to the top of the mountain... beauty at 8200 ft.

When we were in Reno we drove to Lake Tahoe my birthplace and man was it beautiful!!!

Me and Anthony drove to Reno to for my Grandmothers funeral RIP Grandma I LOVE YOU. In the pics you'll see me, mom her two sisters Sandy, & Debbie,her brother Jerry Grandpa Smokey, my bro, cousins Sam, Jen, Brandon, Uncle Devin, and I think that's everyone.
