Jack is in first grade this year at Plantation and because he is the awesome student that he is he was awarded Patriot of the Month and they give out this cool shirt that the child gets to wear all month (of course only on Fridays because of the uniform dress code)<br /><div>By the way my other awesome child Payton was Patriot of the Month last month but there was a shirt mix up and he never got to wear the shirt hence the no picture of my #1 son Payton in his Patriot shirt. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525856604643182146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFRVAYPw7o1jrG3ANXaRUPO3XvQEMyzHn-c33ygB4yHi_lrgo-vnVdMoXXvLHV8Pcg8PCy6f6HaXkpuwMrxz2ee5X3V7x3ieUdC4MQN9g-AEMdf79xtfPhPRCwPvvrKDMyW15McJchNcY/s320/P1050466.JPG" />Friday morning is the traditional Nelson Pancake breakfast day so of course Jack wanted a "P" for Patriot of the month pancake. So the wonderful mother that I am I made a "P" which Jack promptly told me needed the hole cut out because otherwise it just looked like a hockey stick and was not really a "P". So here is Jack with this hole cut out "P"<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525856606106466402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAHru7WByyW2zZj4uO4YC9q1xdIK1vyURz53Ws3BcdgmQ9GcZm_0kOi3sUlFqxQRo7XrtELFzS1Cjm7NpcrUxsrdyy_dEeetEwlgKub-ABFyzLhrqCr0QlAWD1W7iQqHwXQDqXPDvJ2L4S/s320/P1050465.JPG" />I made cupcakes today too. I know --- you are probably wondering how does she do it all? So I made cupcakes today to give to our amazing ENT doctor Dr. Eldredge. We were lame and missed an appointment last week for the boys so I thought delicious cupcakes would be nice as a peace offering. I made Triple chocolate and my new creation Snickerdoodle which she called later to thank me and tell me how delightful they were. I so wish I had the money to open a Sugar Mama Sweets branch here in Louisiana. My sister's are doing pretty fabulous at their shop in AZ and I am so excited for them. But until I win the lottery in which I do not play I will settle for making tasty treats out of my home.</div><div> </div><div>As I was making the cupcakes Ben kept asking for "sugar" because he knows I can't ignore how completely adorable he is. And of course I had to take pictures of him making a mess with the batter.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525856596573178482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8iWlZbKqyilfdda57uSCBZ-l0O8PE2CxUwdvgRDDtU4iV1kZ6JmOOixQ3lNSK2PwTFz3n08jlwza2dbcjAXHFzlzlicUXKz_uq3S75G2zm9hMTIGZrtjZn3K5ZlbI9i5nQa5goPMVg77/s320/P1050472.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525856592246915890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw0akVYaBqNcFmuw9XoZs4WUNpt77ccRKo0_a8gow6GFNDpK4_lyHEi4qMHFC0_8Ao5dAiz9RGv9m_6dZgleKqFML0FEm3OcebtDyq6fWLskNe21-xoxWfRcMj028poB5vr3RFNM7ZY05o/s320/P1050474.JPG" /><br /><div></div></div></div>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-64212928417837088842010-09-11T17:53:00.000-07:002010-09-11T18:06:20.586-07:00Back in Black<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzaPd917c4HDO9l-rqSPISYT7f1JqVVUw8laAKmP6q4A9ehpX9Q-Aid0kgWJFoBqFPq4g5O0tZeP-pmfkCfyw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-38136143864026573352010-08-01T19:18:00.000-07:002010-08-03T11:00:30.932-07:00Sleeping beauty<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJOw96uIcR-YsRFDiPy7ylpAsfl5tGWZNMCeKfdjgJIQayCymtEncLwFV6zylJ4pelrVe-waZ-P-lCFSL_dtQH2fDtgni4AR732EHMTodikJW0r3h_tvhcgvaHzQsg8FhGoFpI40uRnJao/s1600/P1050394.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div></div>Ben's new thing when you tell him to go to sleep.

Ryan often asks the boys what they did at recess or who they sat by at lunch. As the kids describe who they played with or who they sat with it sounds a little like this.<br /><br /><br />Jack: I sat next to "so and so" and " so and so"<br />Ryan: What's "so and so like"?<br />Jack: That's the boy with the skinny head<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Or try this one on for size</span><br /><br />Payton: I played kick ball with "whozit" and "whatzit"<br />Me: Oh is "whozit" one of your good friends?<br />Payton: No he's the kid that acts like a cat and can do the wave with his unibrow<br /><br />This brings the question to mind, What kind of kids are my children going to school with and maybe a more important question is how are my children being described by their classmates?Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-45281170663795960862010-03-26T13:03:00.000-07:002010-03-26T13:10:56.163-07:00Conversations with JackConversation between Jack and I<br />Preface: We had been working out in the yard that afternoon, I just got out of the shower and had to go to the grocery store<br /><br /><br />Jack: Mom, do you have makeup on?<br />Me: Yes Jack I do<br />Jack: Well I can't see it<br />Me: I just didn't put that much on<br />Jack: I like when you have as much as when you go to work<br />Me: Ok thanks<br />Jack: Mom you need to put more makeup on<br />Me: I'm not going to put more on Jack<br />Jack: It would make me feel better if you put more on mom<br />Me: It would make you feel better?<br />Jack: I could put your makeup on for you......... I could make you look like a clown<br /><br />My sweet Jack is always concerned with what I'm wearing and how my makeup looks.

You may remember a previous post with him dancing to the same music a couple months ago. Just wanted to show how his dancing has evolved. I may mention he is a little eclectic in his taste for music. The other day Ryan put on the Lawrence Welk show and he loved that too.

I was reading books to Ben this morning and sent him into the library to get another book. A few seconds later I walked in and saw him applying his make up for the day. As you can see he is very pleased with himself and was extremely upset when I cleaned it off. Thank you to the creator of washable markers!!!!!<br /><div><br /><br /><div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445168848373935458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxM_Ofp0cef6RwCaZ3IJD874dTDySTvPFNNGNHBjvduqFBpK_mxn3PMQumXA3WnhbFUuaUMZzUZxhedNMCLZhFDZ5kOc7s6CUeUPnvWKBDPB_VqbO2i3NecWiuzt4zcKeX6hTD-z8jVlHj/s320/P1040752.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445168842909865634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzyzLhzD__XYOij83yhyphenhyphenFOCQSj3GfiqcjlUiA274ZudFc3vX7J7lq2RHcxQHDYJdk1NB3EBi_pOgg1GQrMtQepDmyBI9S8bqlo-j_XYQ1-rGujxgOwFMkI8bP5W9slsyfbJsG7gelKdpb/s320/P1040751.JPG" /><br /><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445168829449370834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3H_LO6wRAvEMUI87b-mBs55Hw7wv2TtGQsOY8hoVlx9ozgII6WLHANPgkB4cxQTjsjaVxM00rM_btsXvxpDkFDfSfPqW1A-yVOxlu09ZUe3aSHum88pLNe9PM05buCch5AFJUYyDXhwSs/s320/P1040750.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445168824007799586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpecIR0i7joPlwEM8BRI5aegDhRweVPPLcIRH6y_RFIKJMLkEzx7FWQJ2w49SVfE2D8g-K2Wa5p1d5MDYHtH2yYTf3TLrGEvVRuByEOE88B0T26P-cUi1b8Zq0w_YBUXkPzxfKe1b2f6Bj/s320/P1040749.JPG" /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-65455128568490302862010-02-20T11:13:00.000-08:002010-02-20T16:26:57.048-08:00Mardi Gras 2010This year for Mardi Gras Ryan's parents and brother Aaron came to visit. Good times!!! The kids loved having their grandparents and uncle here and loved going to the parades. Even better - they had the whole week off of school - the people here in Louisiana sure take partying seriously. It was crazy cold but we still had a blast! I keep the invitation open -- we are always happy to have visitors. Mark your calendar now next year Mardi Gras is March 8!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Disclaimer: I did make a slideshow but for some reason it wasn't working so I just downloaded all the pictures seperately.

I know I still need to post about Benjamin's birthday and Halloween and the cute things Ben has been doing lately ........ the list goes on an on. But I thought I would post a little something about why I have been so busy lately.<br /><br />We moved into the new house. And I <strong>really</strong> LOVE this house. I know I have my work cut out for me. It needs a little work - just cosmetic - but I'm real excited about doing all of that. At first we had issues with the kids completely adjusting but I think they really like their new house too and their new school. So needless to say I still have a bazillion boxes everywhere to sort through so I will only post outside photos for now.<br /><br /><div align="center"> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403635883680548562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5X3ZNJdpd1JeZHCrjyXXbT2a48si_90H-79suFm-7mdco50YIygKmC-f9Cfat_sEhDHBhXIm0K8n4fvBM6dTCsVBz64B7QYuNmUennf1vdeJeeitdQ9KsU5Bs4jYffXg5yN5EhPR3x9O7/s320/halloweenandstuff2009+017.JPG" />Front view<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403635873348511538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwSlJ0KaKQNcXRA7nNIUbUtmqUbQFBwPARPJTaQSOOwfA3TlA4Nv9OiD9zMzhkfSx_v-bpbwIeJ9Cvb6mp_qaLugHHYzKeO6WKrQKOvtbhivJ5WWA9MZ8jxfw5bh4_CcS2eTxc3AmUvRRt/s320/halloweenandstuff2009+019.JPG" />Side view of driveway - carport curves to the right and the small building is a workshop (500-600 sq ft) which we hope to someday convert to a little apartment<br /><br /><div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403635870075586978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHgMgiwM7eT60MqVtezyCMBl_qquvEIlqYNpPsWE3lPI62R8DRvxJIYtTj5-r7RXRF7WLGnls07O-D3ccMapcfclJw2a4GwMKOHx2-8jb0J1UPOt35CBSsLnJXwBWHylcYSAJDW1T5rhj/s320/halloweenandstuff2009+027.JPG" />Back view of the house with an awesome huge covered porch<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403635860071784290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUjhUo2B3sl3ZFQdBHI_Vj3s1fpZkna2WUtVlIqmoogL3nco-gWg1Q6qiWv4vC0tevTv-drVVDTfG98xEVgl9IAYO9hBh0xWw0bpi9ALClRV68j11dXIZLtksBlpOGuYrkrpHlvP_ImcS/s320/halloweenandstuff2009+030.JPG" />Back yard has an adorable playhouse for the kids which by the way has electricity and air conditioning.<br /><div><br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403635856350438658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvV40m_EgilI40At1jDnjzOsb6drXZ9LwWrk7isA_vv3RQ338HLYS_uNGRWHCExk5Gga3iElnDCJm8jakjLcpJVb3gOz9yXxIYulsgd9kM6FTK2bpqNvlQ_hUF_gyI6kQ-w2A1ZPjma9HF/s320/halloweenandstuff2009+032.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div>Do you want to come over and play?</div><div> </div><div align="left"><br /><br /> </div><div></div><br /></div>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-65764737287096020392009-10-30T10:18:00.000-07:002009-10-30T10:55:45.493-07:00They say its your birthdayTuesday was Jacks 6th Birthday.

Jack has never really experienced Mardi Gras since he was just a few months old when we left. He kept talking about how great it was and asked if Mardi Gras was like this parade. We assured him that it was going to be even better.<br /><br />They also threw candy and I'm pretty sure we have enough that we won't need to buy any for Halloween<br /><br /><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396704080121037762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFA_ZukTI81RbC1ix9ZS7yG9psWepGwXxFCKVPr2GmU5JFhRHVAyvNuMiwlsJHknhTEDRJup9D5v_8BSokdNa2qck5WsmUkvhgE9GKrb9usoWDPw9TuDA2otNkVugNJHUYTaQfMSaXWITo/s320/homecoming+018.JPG" /><br />Featuring the ULL Band but even more entertaining were the floats with the Sorority's and Fraternity's.

And since I have a husband who is always trying to find ways to surprise me and puts a lot of thought into gifts ...... I couldn't have asked for a better day.</div><br /><div>Of course I had to work, but right before lunch this beautiful creation showed up at the office. "Happy Birthday Love Your 3 Sons" This picture really doesn't do it justice but it was absolutely wonderful to eat.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372454012407837442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3Hf47L7cPaFecuLCI3S7_w_ajhKyPtj6QxApgk5C2LcY7AM5anhMSDeTKK3glE2XjQ4vul4CmgUyi6fgdOauSMDK5x5kFhcJlRMjARYntmeM2VKO9mFHG4vWi9r7BPKZRRLEF-w2yua5/s320/birthday+011.JPG" /> For lunch I met my good friend Jill at The Ground Pati ( a burger joint) and enjoyed a wonderful chicken sandwich and fries. Good food - good company. Thanks Jill for lunch and as always good entertaining conversation.</div><br /><div></div>After work - off to teach class. I think I somehow managed to convince myself that if I exercised it wouldn't matter how much food I consumed. Which for some reason taking the day off of my diet for my birthday has progressively turned into a week long event<br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372462326483013234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDGJt1OjovC7BiKY4_ocsqLMuY2CGobcOuCeHTGYJiE3w5VH4mb5iGnKLcsRkzLUmrvJcEwaRG40piFSvvn6bbJ0LfpFzStro8Ihb3E9Ccd0KgNoCqGXrT_qS20OH6apzitc5zEorred3/s320/jazzercise%2520triple%2520play.jpg" />After class I met up with Ryan and the boys for some WINGS!! I know it seems like such an elaborate place to go for a birthday dinner ... but I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with the food and there is something about the look on my boys' faces when they walk into this amazing place. There are TV's everywhere even in the bathroom and yes it was the first place they went to when we walked in the door. <br />So I ate and I ate like I was never going to see food again even though I knew that cake and Rocky Road Icecream were waiting for me at home.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372457300567790290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6Q-kZ3HKolXg6cyR2MiPXjjtIbB9LCCKre4cJ8zv_M2t-iTtCYVHyDBtdmv8lfAhgX1hj3xum5bdD966wqMR2U7Y5IlOlJrjRRhNdLaHG9fL-K2zrkPbd3q7yzjRaZCi5kkbpLEn9hvH/s320/buffalo_wild_wings.jpg" /><br />When we got home the boys could hardly contain themselves they were sure that the next gift would make a blog entry for sure.<br /><br />Yes my friends --- a Snuggie ( not to be confused with the Slanket)<br />I laughed so hard when I opened this and I loved the fact that my kids knew it would make me laugh and of course blog about it.<br /><br />So now I can enjoy the comforting warmth of a blanket and still be able to find my hands.....

Club Awesome meets in the closet. You would think with all of the junk we have stored in the boys closet that there wouldn't be any room for anything else. Somehow they manage to cram in there. What's great is that they include Ben who thinks its pretty cool hanging with his brothers. I find it interesting for boys that are not crazy about the dark who need a nightlight in their room at night ----have no problem shutting themselves in a dark compact space for hours at a time with only a flashlight to protect themselves.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0KeoEo8NL7mbK_8u_S_R9qnhyphenhyphenGqILKObmye-avjZI6SZM3LFhcs3Cm9toh-7g_l7uergp7Z6S_s1SJ2B6Eop0_P5f7KQTXh4CTix2EBwwUDvUNoEogz-Y7SU2tzLN0aSLKMeRNF13mS-/s1600-h/P1040183.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0KeoEo8NL7mbK_8u_S_R9qnhyphenhyphenGqILKObmye-avjZI6SZM3LFhcs3Cm9toh-7g_l7uergp7Z6S_s1SJ2B6Eop0_P5f7KQTXh4CTix2EBwwUDvUNoEogz-Y7SU2tzLN0aSLKMeRNF13mS-/s320/P1040183.JPG" /></a><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquLU_TNKOOc4nDjj2GtET8uG3PEFVhkOa68c_1YjLhzjo1QVp5Pro0xHgTHjCrjE6ObpDA2H6oIb7RFyLaYqx5jFwCY1RJ19Ie82kBKtXJ0Pjr3KH9Bu8hm2VAoMIsdB0PcSXCbAJ9Yqa/s1600-h/P1040182.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquLU_TNKOOc4nDjj2GtET8uG3PEFVhkOa68c_1YjLhzjo1QVp5Pro0xHgTHjCrjE6ObpDA2H6oIb7RFyLaYqx5jFwCY1RJ19Ie82kBKtXJ0Pjr3KH9Bu8hm2VAoMIsdB0PcSXCbAJ9Yqa/s320/P1040182.JPG" /></a>Taking an apple juice break<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155747042523052332.post-77370305926268587092009-08-08T17:57:00.000-07:002009-08-08T18:04:26.684-07:00No!<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"></div><p>I'm sure there will be a day when he realizes what NO means but for now ..... its a new trick </p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9VW9MRRlXIpZkO8zxr6KSMW46FM9oBqim1OT-fT7ZdzHHjzLNjaOn3RSxJkXjdhrPNSri1HYMI8KlWIXESICUinXUPHsC4BRr7hT14rFGk3SkcI4dTsdQpfiKJveKPNWcTzrP1Z5SJ_v/s1600-h/P1040180.jpg"></a> </p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" border="0" alt="Posted by Picasa" align="middle" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" /></a></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzIo6FfxD3FMr0JYdHRbAajLWHDi9fZvQs2DearXMNPKeRzQGPEARrEc-OG0sKsJ7jr5Ad1yvxaod9rRwQuUg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Ryan Nelson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328756714927879564noreply@blogger.com8
