Well we realize it
has been quite a while since we have updated our blog so over the next little
while we will add new posts for periods of time typically about a month or two
long. We will start with March 2012.
The Nielsen family has been growing so it was time for a new
family picture. This was mine and Rick’s
first experience with a Nielsen family picture session. We were all getting
togetheranyways for our combined March birthday’s. Stephanie on the 10th,
Jerimiah on the 11th, and me on the 28th. While the whole
family was together for the March birthday’s we decided to meet up with a
photographer at Stansbury Park for the afternoon to get the pictures taken. All in all the pictures turned out good,
the weather wasn’t too bad, and no one fell in the water so nothing to exciting
or funny to report.
On a random note the vacuum
we had been using from a friend gave out on us so we got to purchase our own
vacuum! Nothing too special but it works like a dream compared to the one we
had before. It was time for the first
one to retire.
For Holly’s 21st
birthday present she got tickets to the Kelly Clarkson concert on the 20th
of March. I myself stayed home, probably did some homework and watched TV,
while she went with Channelle. THEE best birthday present I’ve ever received!
Channelle and I had loads of fun and sang at the top of our lungs to EVERY song
Kelly sang. It ended sooner than I wanted but loved every minute of it. Thanks
Spencer!
We also made a trip
up to Rexburg in March with the Peacock side of the family and Erin Valois. My
parents stopped in Salt Lake to pick us up and we made the journey up for the
weekend. While we were up there we drove around Yellowstone and also went to a
Bluegrass Concert that an old friend of my parents was a part of, and Holly got
fried halibut from Arctic Circle and found a new love. They really were
delicious but I was also starving so almost anything probably would have
sounded good. =] Before we drove back home we stopped by to see the famous “Snake
house” up in Rexburg…. CREEPY! Pretty
much it’s a residential house that was built right where thousands of snakes
would hang out for part of the year, so instead of the snakes abandoning their
spot the people ended up leaving instead. Spencer and I walked around to
see if there were any snakes in the house but we didn’t see anything. We then
slowly started walking to the back of the house and Spencer scared one and it
slithered RIGHT in front of my feet. I jumped in the air, screamed and ran back
to the car. The snake basically blended in to the dry grass so I almost stepped
on it. Ewwww. It was pretty funny actually. As
always when we make a Rexburg trip, thank you to Trulee and the whole Stocking crew
for letting us invade your house!
Since I was about 2 my jaw has always kind of popped out of
place depending on how far I opened my mouth. All because when I was 2 I jumped
on furniture and fell one day and smacked my chin on a fireplace. My jaw popping
out of place never bothered me until the end of March… it hurt SO bad and so I
decided to find a jaw specialist. There were a lot of things they pointed out
that I needed to do to improve my jaw. The main thing I received was a jaw
splint which basically looks like a retainer and I needed to wear it every
night. Oh joy! (since we are writing this in December let me update by saying
my jaw is not in pain anymore and is in a better position)
This pretty much sums
up our month for March 2012. We’ll be back soon with a post for the next few
months!
