Saturday morning we got up early so we could go eat at Richard Walker's.  It is a well known little pancake house downtown San Diego.  The place is pretty small so we had to wait in line for a little while but it was worth the wait. Our waiter was hilarious and the food was fantastic and quick.     
Here we are checking the menu before going in.  I had banana pancakes with chocolate chips, real canadian bacon, and eggs.  We all had freshly squeezed orange juice (which cost us $15.00 for the three) and plenty of food to take home for later.
We thought the placement of these starfish was so funny.  We were in a pretty goofy mood (must have been the expensive OJ) and as we were taking these pictures people walking by were laughing and giving us more ideas for wild photos.
After breakfast we headed to coronado island.  What a beautiful day it was.  We checked out all the stores and then rented bikes and took about 1 1/2 hours ride around the island.  It was one of the greatest things I have done in a long time.  I love bike riding and we were in such a beautiful place with such great company (next time to make it perfect we will include Jared).      
To wrap up the day we stopped at the hotel del coronado and had some very tasty sorbet in warm homemade waffle cones.  Thanks mom and kim for a great birthday surprise.  

Go Aggies! Go Aggies! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Today was our first home USU football game.  Jared got all decked out in his aggie gear and we headed off to the stadium.  It was a quick 5 min. walk and we arrived just in time to see USU score the first touchdown.  The lead didn't last long and the University of Utah ended up smashing us.  Still fun to go and be a part of it though.  
Maybe clapping?  Excitement?  All aggie wear.  Looking good. 
Jared checking out the stadium.  We have to sit at the very top and look down, way down.  
This is the play that resulted in a touchdown for USU.
Oh, beautiful picture.  Here we are at the game.  Good times.

The funny man!

Last night I was trying to figure out how to put a DVD together and ran into all of these funny pictures of my husband.  I didn't get the DVD figured out but instead had a good time remembering all the good times with Jared.  How lucky I am to hang out with him all day.  Brock helped Jared one day tie his tie for church and how this happened I don't know.  Brock?
Jared's one and only time in a regular sized bath tub.  We were at my dads house and decided to try this approach to bathing.  Jared didn't like it much, he kept hitting the soap holder with his hammer.  He was so mad at it.  We were laughing so hard.  He just kept hitting it and hitting it.    
Jared and one of his best buddies.  They were always laughing about something silly.  
Jared went through a phase with food clips.  He loved to slide them up and down a yard stick.  When he finally broke the stick this is what he came up with.  We are at a good friends house having dinner and Jared was entertainment.  Thank you Bro. & Sis. Johnson for always putting him in such a good creative mood.  
In honor of the duck bill.  To our Nelson Family, this one is for you.

Three Happy Years

Aug. 18, 2005

Wedding day for us.  What a great and crazy three years it has been.  I love being able to spend all day with my husband and am so very grateful and proud of the progress he has made.  Can't wait until the day he will be the talking, fun, tender, walking, laughing, eating, motor lovin' Jared I married (although I do like him as is for now as long as I get to have him here).  Three years down, forever to go.  I love it!    

Rexburg Wedding

We were able to go to Rexburg for Blake's wedding.  The wedding was beautiful and it was great to meet Savannah's family and be with them on their home turf. It was really fun for me to be in Rexburg, as I went to school there.  I haven't been back in a few years so we got there a little early so I could drive around and check out my old stomping grounds.  Rexburg has changed a lot but it brought back some great memories.  We even had lunch (Craigos pizza-which is not the same as it was, but still good) with Jared's cousin Mikel who is living there right now.  We had fun with her and are grateful for her letting us use her house for some down time.  

Weddings

 We have had a few weddings this summer (ok, just two) but for us that is pretty good.  First, we headed south to Jareds cousins wedding (John Woodley and now Kylie Woodley).  We got to spend the weekend with most of the Nelson family.  Jared had a great time laughing at everyone and as always loving the babies.  

Summer Catch Up

Well, I started a blog thinking I would be really good about keeping up with it, but soon found out it was harder then I thought to be as creative and fun as some of our families and friends out there. I also felt a little silly about posting things of just the two of us.  So, I guess we will try again as I know Jared would think it was fun (and because I have alot to brag about with that husband of mine).  We will do a quick run through of our summer.  We started out in Boise for a little over a week with some doctor stuff.  It turned out to be a bummer of a trip but we learned a lot and can now move on with life grateful for some new perspective and the knowledge of the gospel.  We then spent a fun weekend in St. George with Jareds best bud Ben and his wife Carmen.  It gave us a good taste of what the weather would be like for us this summer.  It was plenty warm.  About a week after that we went to Oregon for a good three weeks.  It was great to be back there.  We had a lot going on to keep us busy and lots of family to love.  Jared went swimming, got a new van, visited the beach twice, and got lots of attention from our family and friends there. One of the highlights being the forth of July (a Nelson production every year).
