Logan Adam Nielsen!

He is finally here, Logan Adam Nielsen! Born September 26th. 9 pounds even 21 inches long.
I know this post is late, but life has been super crazy to say the least. I was due the 20th so Jer came up from California the Saturday before I was due. I wanted to have a v-bac(vaginal birth after a c-section). So we chose to stay in Utah because to hospitals in Imperial wouldn't allow a v-bac and to be close to family. In order to have a v-bac I needed to go into labor on my own, but that never happened. I was almost a week over due and we were already short on time. My doctor scheduled me to be induced on Monday September 26 and luckily I started having contraction on Sunday night. My mom took me to the hospital so Jer could be with the kids to give them some normalcy with all the was about to change in their lives. When we got to the hospital I was already at a 1 and 80% which is more then I did with the lilos. They started the patocin and my doctor tried to break my water but it was just a trickle of water the came out. They say it happens sometimes when the baby's head is right there. They also gave me the wonderful epidural. Jer brought the kids down to see me in the hospital for a minute and then my family was nice enough to take them for the rest of the day till the baby was born. My doctor told me that he hoped to have the baby by 7 o'clock that night. I proved him wrong, for once, and had the baby by 3. I thought that I would be pushing for an hour or two, but after 5 pushes my nurse called to doctor and the nurse said he would be 15 minutes, she said we don't have 15 minutes. I had to hold off on the next two contraction and my doctor walked in pretty much catch the baby. The little stinker pooped in the womb and was green like a leprechaun when he came out. The nurses called him shrek because everything was green and gross!.They say he probably had been sitting in the poop for a while. They had to suction him out and give him a little oxygen to make sure his lungs were good, but he is a healthy happy baby. We call him "goose" now because when he cries he honks like a goose:) I was very blessed to be able to have a successful v-bac. It has made a world of difference in my recovery. And I needed a quick recovery because we headed to California a week after he was born.

Me and my cute mom!

Lovin' Cousins

Since we have been in Utah for the last 3 months we have had a lot of time to spend with family and cousins. My kids are going to go through major withdrawals when we have to leave.

Chilling together in the hot tub before Brecken left for Costa Rica for 4 months.

Hanging out in huntsville, riding bikes, chasing chickens, fixing the deck, and enjoying time with family!






Dress up and ice cream!

August in a Nutshell!

Jer was able to come up for week. We spent the week spending time as a family swimming, roasting mallows, playing at the park, and just catching up on some much needed daddy time! It has been a long summer without him and I was spoiled while he was here. I am so grateful for this man and the more time that I spend away form him the more I realized how blessed I am to be married to him.








My kids have been able to spend a lot of time with their aunts this summer. I am so appreciative to the time and patience my sister's have had with me and my kids. My stay here has been a little longer then expected and being homeless, husband less, and 8 months pregnant can sometimes take it's toll on me. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me out this summer.





We had a couple of funerals this August. Jer's sweet Grandma Nielsen passed away and the following week my Grandpa Conk passed. We know that they are in a better place but it's still hard to loose loved one. Unfortunately I did not bring my camera to Jer's grandma's funeral.
All my sibling were together for the first time in years.

My cute Grandma can't see a dang thing. She got down on the ground with my kids to teach them how to do a backwards somersault. I hope to be like this lady when I am 80 years old!


Leah got her first hair cut and her first pedicure. She is getting too big!


Grandpa starting reading the Lilos their bedtime stories every night!

This is usually where I would find my kids in the morning, with Grandma!

My mom had a late night with all the Grand kids. They played a bunch of games, had smores, and spent the night out on the deck. Thanks mom!
