BLAKE HAD SPRING BREAK THIS WEEK AND SPENT IT WORKING. TALIA BRUZER AND I TOOK A LITTLE TRIP OUT TO BELMONT TO DELIVER HIM SOME LUNCH YESTERDAY. HE IS WORKING IN A CABINET/DOOR/ ANYTHING YOU NEED MADE, WORK SHOP. HE HAS BEEN WORKING HERE FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. HE REALLY ENJOYS HIS JOB.THE SUN WAS SHINNING AND THE WIND WAS LOW SO WE WERE ALL ABOUT HANGIN OUTSIDE.

BOW-CHICKA-WOW-WOW..... I NEVER MIND HIM COMING HOME COVERED IN SAW DUST. MY HUSBAND IS A HOTIE.

BLAKE DOES NOT WANT TO CUT HIS HAIR TILL GRADUATION. BUT SINCE HE WILL PROB JUST KEEP THE JOB HE IS AT I DON'T SEE A HAIRCUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. (SORRY DEB.)....
FOR THE RECORD... IT IS LONGER THAN MINE.

SOAKING IN THE GOOD TIMES

I HAD A DREAM THAT TALIA STARTED WALKING AND SPEAKING IN FULL SENTENCE ....... I WAS SO SAD WHEN I WOKE UP THAT SHE IS GROWING UP SO FAST :( .... THE LAST TWO DAYS I HAVE NOT PUT HER DOWN I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER HOW SWEET SHE IS AT THIS AGE..... I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS LITTLE GIRL AND I KNOW I AM GOING TO TURN AROUND ONE DAY AND SHE WILL BE ALL GROWN UP... TEAR.... THANK GOODNESS FOR BLOGGING AYE?... MEMORIES ARE SO FUN!!! I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL. -MOM

SPRING BREAK

THIS WEEK IS BLAKE'S "SPRING BREAK" AT FIRST WE WERE PLANING ON CALIFORNIA, THEN COLORADO, THEN NOWHERE BECAUSE WE REALIZED WE HAD TO COME UP WITH SOME EXTRA CASH FOR TAXES. BUT BLAKE HAS SUCH GREAT PARENTS WHO ALTERED PLANS TO HELP US SAVE SOME TIME AND MONEY.

WE ALL WENT DOWN TO PHOENIX. THE WHOLE CALL/NIELSEN CLAN COULD COME, SO IT WAS OODLES OF FUN. THE TWO BROKE COLLEGE COUPLES ONLY STAYED THE WEEKEND. WE CRAMMED EVERYTHING INTO TWO DAYS. A WATER PARK, A SUNS GAME, AND A BBQ WITH THE JONES FAMILY. IT WAS SO NICE GETTING AWAY. I HAVE NOT SPENT TWO FULL DAYS WITH BLAKE SINCE THE BABY WAS BORN SO THE WEEKEND AWAY WAS WELL NEEDED. WE STAYED AT THE RESORT THAT BLAKE AND I WENT AFTER OUR WEDDING...TEAR... GOOD TIMES

BLAKE WITH THE SUNS DANCERS...I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SAME DANCE OUTFIT ON BUT SOMEONE HAD TO TAKE THE PICTURE...

YOU CANT TELL BUT TAY HAS SOME SUNS GET-UP ON AS WELL.
#1 FANS (FOR THE DAY ANY WAY)

WE MISS OUR SHAUNY BOY.

A GLIMPSE OF THE WHOLE CREW.

THANKS KEVIN AND DEB!!! WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRIP. IT WAS FUN!

MOMENT OF TRUTH

TALIA HAD HER FIRST TASTE OF RICE CEREAL. LETS SEE HOW SHE DID...

SHE LOVES IT?... SHE LOVES IT NOT?

HOW FAST THEY GROW

WE TOOK TALIA TO THE DOCTOR TODAY FOR HER 4MONTH CHECK UP. SHE WEIGHS 12 1/2 POUNDS AND IS 25IN. TALL. THE POOR DARLING WAS STUCK IN THE LEGS WITH SHOTS AND WAS SO SAD! IT IS A RELIEF TO SEE THAT YOUR CHILD IS HEALTHY SO WE LEFT VERY HAPPY. LATER THAT MORNING I TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF OUR TALENTED KID.

SHE IS USING HER HANDS. GREAT JOB BABY!!!

TALIA'S PERSONAL BODY GUARD. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!..... WHERE EVER THE BABY IS, BRUZER IS. ..THIS IS HIS OATH APPARENTLY.

GRAND FALLS!

YESTERDAY WE TOOK A TRIP TO GRAND FALLS ON THE INDIAN RESERVATION. IT IS ABOUT 40 MIN. OUT SIDE OF TOWN. NOW, IT IS NOT THE MOST REFRESHING WATER FALL BUT IT IS QUITE THE SIGHT AND GREAT FAMILY FUN!

---THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE WAS 7 YEARS AGO. I CAME WITH TWO DEAR FRIENDS. DIANA LEE AND ALEXIS DOWNS (TUNNEL). WE CAME FOR A SCIENCE CLASS PROJECT. WE DECIDED TO COME IN MAY WHEN ALL THE SNOW HAD MELTED AND ALREADY PASSED. SO... THERE WAS NO WATER FALL. JUST A CANYON. WE WALKED ALL AROUND THE CLIFFS AND ROCKS AND NOTICED THERE WERE SMALL POOLS OF WATER. IT WAS ABOUT 100 DEGREES THAT DAY AND WE WERE GETTING HOT. THERE WAS NO ONE IN SIGHT SO WE GOT DOWN TO OUR "SKIPPIE'S" AND JUMPED INTO THESE SMALL POOLS. WE WANTED TO SEE HOW DEEP THEY WERE. MOST POOLS WE COULD BARELY SQUEEZE OUR BODIES INTO BUT THE CRAZY THING WAS, WE COULD NOT REACH THE BOTTOM. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, THREE GIRLS RUNNING FREE ALL OVER THE ROCKS TILL I LOOKED UP AND SAW A NATIVE AMERICAN BOY PEEKING AT US FROM BEHIND A LARGE ROCK 10 YARDS AWAY. I SCREAMED!!! AND ALL US GIRLS STARTED RUNNING FOR COVER. THE BOY RAN AWAY JUST AS FAST BACK TO THE TP'S THAT WERE IN THE FAR DISTANCE. TOO FUNNY.... I AM SURE OUT ON THE RES. THERE IS NOT MUCH ACTION SO THE BOY HAD A GREAT STORY TO TELL HIS FRIENDS. ANY WAY... IT WAS NICE TO ACTUALLY SEE THE FALLS IN ACTION---

TALIA AND MOM NOT EXACTLY READY FOR THE CAMERA BUT ANY PICTURE WITH TAY IN IT IS A GREAT PICTURE!

IT IS CRAZY HOW CLOSE YOU CAN GET TO THE EDGE. I PERSONALLY AM A LITTLE FRIGHTENED BY HEIGHTS BUT TALIA AND DAD HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN THAT AREA...

AAHHH... FAMILY PHOTO TIME. BRUZER OBVIOUSLY DID NOT GET THE MEMO.

GRAND FALLS, AZ. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT GO CHECK IT OUT. IT ONLY TAKES HALF A DAY.
