I am in the middle of more change. We sold our house in Oregon and are now free to look for a home in Colorado. It has been a long three years and we are excited to start looking for a home. It hasn't helped to have the economy do a downturn. We lost 1/3the equity in our home. It has been our prayer that we will be able to find a good deal here now that we had to give up so much in Oregon.
The first home we found and made an offer on caused me to have anxiety. I didn't sleep and I got a really bad stomach ache. It lasted for days. I knew the decision was wrong and so we backed out of the deal. The anxiety went away.
Three weeks later I found another home. After an inspection and prayer we have made an offer. It is in the Lord's hands.....so far no anxiety and no stomach aches. Keep your fingers crossed.

Baby William Jared Neslen was born March 25th, 2010. Annie and I drove overnight to get to Utah. He is beautiful. Auntie Kimmie and Grandpa came a week later and we had a wonderful weekend together. I came back to Colorado Monday. I miss him already.

Tanner has fun with his transformers coloring book.

Cedar is playing with her new pretties. It took her a couple of days to figure out how to put her necklaces and bracelets on. Once she got the hang of it, she had so much fun putting them on and taking them off.

I told Tanner to take his hand out of his mouth. "I'm counting my teeth, Grandma."

Tanner is enjoying his Transformer activity book while Cedar plays with her bike.

Cedar and Tanner give one another a kiss and hug.

Cedar just loves Chesapeake. She gives him kisses and snuggles with him.

I've added a few of the watercolorings I have painted.
I will be getting back to it once I return to Colorado.

Annie and Tanner enjoy making a holdiay house.

My Christmas thoughts.....




I'm counting the days before Mark and I leave for Oregon to be with family for Christmas.

I have so much to be grateful for. Spending time with family is Christmas to me.

I can't imagine what it would be like without the. I am blessed they love me as much as I love them.

Scott and Melissa will not be with us, but they will call often and we were able so be together for Thanksgiving.

What a loving family I have. The blessings of Heaven had been poured down upon me and I think the

greatest blessing of all is I truely know they honor me as a mother. I know they are just as excited to see

me as I am to see them. Merry Christmas to all.................................

Mom has hair!!! I tried out a hair piece and went ahead and purchased it. Life has it's moments........

It is snowing in this picture...

but it is slowing down. We have over 20 inches.

Dad's car - so far there is

15" of snow and it's still snowing.

Mark and I have driven through the great Rocky Mountains in Colorado this summer. It is a beautiful state. This was talken at a summit near Estes Park....

Hi Everyone, I am staying at my Grandma Neslen's for a few days. I love the dog park and Grandpa. I miss my Mommy, Daddy and Tanner.

I will see them tomorrow.
