Nielson Family Memories: Trip to Utah and Las Vegas

Trip to Utah and Las Vegas

One of the good things about making such a quick trip to Utah, is the kids got to see their cousins!! They always love this, and Lexi always tells me we need to move closer to them. The highlight for me was meeting baby Sofia, and Daxon for the first time on this trip. It was so special meeting both of them, and they are both the most adorable babies. My sister's little Sofia was born 3 months early due to some complications, and she is small but so sweet and beautiful. You just get a special feeling when you sit in there and talk to her. She is truly a fighter, and such an angel. She was born 1 lb 14 oz, but is now 6 weeks, and 4 lbs. My sister has been such a trooper, and is amazing to watch!! Who would've thought my sister's babies would only come a day apart, and they were due 3 months apart. I guess they just wanted to come down together!!

Daxon is adorable and so sweet. You forget how tiny babies are, but he is so fun! I'm so glad we got to see them both while we were home. It was great hanging out with all of our family.

We then headed on to Las Vegas to spend a few days with Rikki and Todd. I am still bummed I had to miss a private concert with Lady Antebellum because Korver was sick. They are my favorite! We had a long trip with a sick baby, but it was still great to see everyone. Just wish your kids could magically stay healthy when you go on trips!!

Unknown said...: The craziest part about that whole thing is Korver was still a little ANGEL even when he wasn't feeling good. Brooke poasted a picture of Korver hanging out in his stroller just RELAXING and it just fits him! :) I am laughing right now of the picture of the cousins and Hallee has her arm around trey. SO funny! Let me know what you find about about Treys ears! Hallee failed her hearing test, then she got tubes and has been good to go since! I am so sorry to hear about Jaylie. I started crying yesterday and can't get her off my mind. Love you Ash! Sure wish you lived down the street and we could head to the splash park today together! I would love that!; May 4, 2011 at 8:23 AM

Lexi's Funny Moments

9/15/08- Lexi asked Cody if he had to go to work, and he said yes. He asked her why daddy has to work and she said, "because it takes a lot of money."
9/21/08-Lexi had her pretend cell phone out, when all of the sudden I hear her say "oh no I missed a call."
10/15/08-Lexi opened our front door and said "mommy, it smells like elephants out here." It did smell like cow poop outside pretty bad. I had to laugh.
10/23/08- Lexi is playing with her mr. potato head elmo doll. She puts on the mustache and says, "look mommy and daddy, he has a musmache." We couldn't stop laughing.
10/24/08-Lately when Lexi can't get Cody's attention she will first try daddy, and then she will say "hey Cody." She is getting pretty smart!
11/13/08-I asked Lexi if she wanted to go to preschool one day and she said "no, I just want to stay at home with you mommy."
11/13/08- Every night Lexi tells us the sprinkler is bothering her. Cody has to get up on her bed talk to the sprinkler on her ceiling and tell it to be nice so Lexi can go to sleep.
11/13/08-The other day Lexi wasn't up from her nap yet and Trey went to her door and layed by it. Whenever she isn't up he always goes over to her door and starts tapping on it.
