Tracen's Christmas presents--early

Tracen was lucky enough to get a few early Christmas presents. They were all shirts. His Grandma Neilson bought him this for Christmas but then decided he should probably have time to wear it before Christmas. It says "I ate Santa's cookies" He looks cute in it.
This is the other shirt. I had it made for him. He was supposed to open it Christmas morning but things got a little chubby and we had to break it out early....

Here's a close up so you can read it better....
Now if you don't get it don't worry, you're not alone. Neither Grandma got it at first. They both made some comment like "oh what does your shirt say....Oh big brother" and then went on their merry way like nothing. It wasn't until Jesse or Ty pointed it out that they got it. Then my parents told Larry to go read Tracen's shirt and he said "does it say anything other than big brother" then he said something like "who's he going to be a big brother too? Jesse?" Yes someday he may be bigger than Jesse because big and Jesse is a skinny dude. If you still don't know what's going on just keep reading....

When the boys first saw the shirt Ty said "Tracen's not a big brother" I said "are you sure?" he said "yes." Jesse thought he was going to be a big brother to Kaylynns baby, we informed him he was going to be a big cousin, not brother, to Kaylynn's baby. Then he said "he's going to be a big brother tooooooo......(thinking)......ME!" (see above comment by Larry)

So if you're still in the dark :) Tracen's having a little brother, due June 5th. And don't worry it's a boy (a perk of working at the hospital led us to that knowledge) there are no girls to be had in this family! That's ok, I'm good with it! We ended up telling Josh's family before Crystal's wedding due to the fact that only a hoodie covers my belly these days and the wedding required a little nicer attire than a hoodie! My mom and dad found out yesterday when we came to Logandale for Christmas.

We hope you all have a great rest of a Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas. I'm sure I'll have pictures to post later!

Christmas Card

I have lots of stuff to post but not any time at the moment. So here's our Christmas Card. If I hadn't put "Merry Christmas" on them, I'd probably make them our "winter" card instead since they are still in the mail on the way to my house. But as soon as I get them I'll get them out hopefully. Until then you get to enjoy this one...which is the same one, but you can't hang it on your fridge or wherever you put it (ie the garbage ha ha) Don't worry if you do, they only cost me 6 cents, I won't be offended :)

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday so far! We have a busy 2 weeks ahead of us and I hope I'm ready. Josh, Tracen and I are going to Orem tomorrow for a night. Then we have Crystals wedding to get ready on Friday. Then I work for three nights and then it's off to Grandmas. I hope I get everything finished up in time!
