My nieces & nephews

I thought I would share some pictures of my nieces and nephews. Unfortunately, on my husband's side, I don't have pictures of the 3 nephews and the one niece. When I was with them last, I didn't have a camera.

Mike and Jeanette got married when I was 15 years old.

My nephew Aaron is 4 months old in this picture. I got to be around him before he was 1 year old, but haven't seen him since.

In fact, I didn't take any of these pictures. There is one picture with me holding him, but I can't find it anywhere, Sorry. Probably my dad has it someplace..

1 year old.

Sometimes, while I was still going to high school, I would go on field trips. One time when we went to the mall, there was a Disney store that had stuffed animals. Jeanette loves "Winnie the Pooh ", so I knew she would enjoy it with him. I then bought Aaron "Winnie the Pooh" and saved it for his Christmas present that year.

Here is a picture of him playing with "Winnie the Pooh". He was 18 months old.

At 2 years old,

Aaron got a baby sister. Her name is Ella. She was born 3 weeks before my wedding, so
Only my brother Mike could come.

This is Aaron and Ella becoming friends.

My brother Mike likes this picture of them Sitting on a teeter totter in the park.

At 3 years old, this is Aaron.

Both the kids at the pumpkin patch with Mike.

Aaron's 4 years old with a cupcake.

Jeanette took the kids to see her parents a couple weeks ago. Their grandma asked them if they want to go on a carousel ride. Jeanette said, "We have tried to get them to do this for us, but they won't." she also said, "I guess they only do some things for grandma." I know that the kids don't always want their picture taken. I think we just want to have fun without a camera sometimes. When I saw these pictures of them on the carousel ride. It reminded me of when I went on them myself. I love animals and music so it is a lot of fun. I haven't gone on a carousel for a while.

Mike and Jeanette told us the whole pregnancy that they were having another girl. My nephew Aaron told Jeanette he wanted to have another sister, but if it was going to be a boy, he wanted to name it "Lightning McQueen" from "Cars".

Mike took Jeanette in for the baby. He sent a text message to dad telling us about it at 11 pm Saturday the 12th of September. When the baby was born — it was a boy. They knew they would have problems with Aaron. They asked the nurse what they should do. The nurse said, "Don't tell him alone, wait tell everybody is together." Mike told Aaron, " Look, Aaron Heavenly Father sent us a boy, and we don't know why." The new baby's name is Wesley. I'm used to Wes, so that's what I will be using in the future. My niece Ella call's him baby sister sometimes, because she is only 2 years old, and everyone told her it was going to be a girl.

My new nephew Wes arrived on September 13.

The kids are looking at their brother.

The kids were holding their baby brother a week later.

My parents are trying to see Mike's family next summer because they're going to a reunion. Ella was one, when they visited them last , after going to a wedding in the summer of 2008. Now I have seven nieces and nephews altogether but, I don't know when I am going to see them next.
