ST. GEORGE!

we went to st. george a few weeks ago and all the nelsons were there! THEY GOT TO SEE HANK FOR THE FIRST TIME!


HANK HAS THE BEST GRANDPARENTS! HE IS A LUCKY BOY!

HANK FINALLY GOT TO MEET GRANDPA DOUG!

THIS IS FOUR GENERATIONS!

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA KOTTER WERE SO GOOD TO HANK! HE LOVED THEM!

aunt dixie is the best! everyone just loves her and so does hank!!

josh, tanya and sierra were the first to see hank(except grandma of course)they are the such great parents and we have learned alot from them! its no wonder they are having twin boys!!


adam with his first nephew. he will be a great dad sometime!

jess and seth are so much fun. jess is such a great aunt. she will be the one all the kids love! we got to see seth play football for dixie state! he was awesome(incredibly fast!)

AVA LYNN GOODMAN

I FINALLY FOUND MY CAMERA CORD AND CAN PUT PICS UP OF MY BEAUTIFUL NIECE! AVA LYNN WAS BORN ON OCT. 2 , WEIGHT 5LBS 8 OZ. SHE IS THE TINIEST LITTLE THING AND I JUST LOVE HER ALREADY! BETH DID GREAT, I HAD TO POST THIS PIC CAUSE I THINK IT IS SO SWEET!



I GOT TO BE THERE WHEN SONNY AND BETH CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. REAGAN AND BREEYN WERE SO EXCITED!



HANK IS EXACTLY A MONTH OLDER THEN AVA BUT ALOT BIGGER. HE WILL HAVE TO PROTECT HER!

HANK IS GROWING SO FAST

TODAY HANK HAD HIS MONTH APPOINTMENT. HE WEIGHED 9LBS. 2.5 OZ ALREADY AND HAS GROWN 2.5 INCHES. HE HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD BABY AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THEY GROW.

HERE IS OUR LITTLE GUY IN HIS CAR SEAT THE FIRST TIME HE WENT TO THE DR. AT ONE WEEK OLD.

THIS IS HIM TAKING A BATH BEFORE HE COULD GET HIS WHOLE BODY WET.

I LOVE THE WAY HE IS AFTER A BATH, CLEAN, RELAXED AND SMELLS SOOO GOOD!

THIS IS HOW HANK LOVES TO SLEEP, HANDS OVER HIS HEAD AND THE BLAKET KICKED OFF.

i love this pic of breeyn holding hank. she loves to hold him and says"i'm done" after holding him for 2 seconds.

Bryant is the sweetest boy i know. he is so good to cousin hant(i love how he says hank)! and loves to hold him and will sit with him for me if i need to do something.


reagan has loved baby hank since i was prego with him. she would come up to my belly and talk to him. she holds him so good and i think hank recognizes her voice!!

HANK IS FINALLY HERE!!!!

HANK MADE HIS DEBUT ON WEDNSDAY SEPT. 2ND AT 8:07 PM. HE CAME A WEEK EARLY AND EVERYTHING WENT GREAT! HANK WEIGHED 6 LBS. 7 OZ. HE IS SUCH A SWEET BABY AND I AM SUCH A LUCKY GIRL TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND NOW SON! WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE ALL THE SUPPORT WE HAVE. MY FAMILY WAS ALL THERE AND ALL THE GIRLS GOT TO WITNESS THE BIRTH. HE CAME SO FAST THAT THE NURSE UNEXPECTEDLY TOLD EVERYONE IN THE ROOM THAT HANK WAS COMING AND WHOEVER DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THE BIRTH NEEDS TO LEAVE. SO THE BOYS LEFT AND ALL THE GIRLS(MOM, BETH, COURT, MY GRANDMA RIGGS, VICKY AND SUZANNE)STAYED IN THE ROOM AND TOOK PICTURES AND VIDEOS FOR MY SWEET HUSBAND WHO MISSED IT BECAUSE I TOLD HIM I WASN'T HAVING HIM THAT NIGHT. HE WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE NEXT FLIGHT AND SO DID HIS MOM! THAT NIGHT BRENDA, KELLI, JODI AND CINDY ALL CAME TO THE HOSPITAL. MY MOM STAYED THE NIGHT WITH ME TIL JON GOT THERE. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I AM EXCITED FOR OUR NEW JOURNEY!
