New Years resolutions

It's been awhile on posts, sorry I've been bad at keeping up. A quick update
Isaac is learning new things always. He is now on hands and knees rocking back and forth trying to leap or crawl forward but not there yet
He tilts his was to the side when he looks at people
He wakes up every hour at night so we still haven't conquered sleep and he still eats some at night so I technically shouldn't sleep train yet. I'm sure a breakdown is in my near future with lack of sleep
Isaac had his first Christmas and was cute as always but of course didn't know what was going on
Oh and he likes pears and blueberries and his first love was sweet potatoes
He weighs 14.3 pounds and 25 inches and had his first stomach bug... Diarrhea only thank heavens nothin else but we are glad he is feeling better
And we did our first night away from him when he was sick an it was okay but probably won't happen again for awhile. That's about it I think
Now...
Usually I write a yearly review and I would love to but it's a lot of work and with a child, I don't have time to sit and go through journals. I like to cuz someday maybe I can print each year out and put it into a book for my great grand kids, I may still end up doing it. Also sometimes it's fun to keep track of the songs I likes monthly throughout the year

2014 New Years resolutions

It's always sad to me how hard it seems for us all to keep simple New Years resolutions. Maybe its because we have too many to try to achieve or we've made resolutions that are too high for us to reach so here are mine that I plan to keep or be in the process of working on always, simple but fulfilling and meaningful that keep me healthy and alive physically and mentally

1. Be there always for my husband and children for whatever they need. To teach them, or to listen, or provide a simple hug and a kiss when they've had a rough day

2. Keeping the gospel/christ always at the center of my everyday life not off to the side

3. Keeping physically active (which can be hard in winter months) but I'm not going to promise to "work out" every day but be active at whatever I'm doing not sitting around when I could be standing or walking

4. Being an explorer always seeing how things work and looking at things in a different light. So seeing how a baby/ toddler sees new things for the first time

5. Not being afraid to Try new things. That could be new food, new adventure, or something like that

6. Be helpful:kind to anyone you meet. Serve always and be a friend to everyone

7. Go to bed early and arise early, I love my sleep but I know this is best in the long run

And just the normal try to stay positive, keep the house clean, try to do better with money, not watch too much tv, read scriptures daily, or eat too much junk food

Disneyland with Isaac

Sunday- last night was terrible because Isaac and I starting getting a cold so it was hard to sleep. Then we got out free breakfast and headed out for the drive to California. We should of left earlier in the morning because traffic has been HORRIBLE!!! And having a cold and being scrunched in the back and trying to keep Isaac entertained is taking a toll. I'm bored. I've finished a book in a half but this traffic is ridiculous and I just don't understand it. So we left at 930am (Utah time) maybe and we didn't arrive until 1000pm (Cali time) (we made a few short stops here and there to get Isaac out but nothing crazy)
Monday- we woke up and relaxed for a little while. I caught up on tv shows and we went to a restaurant called wing stop which was pretty good. Then packed up and headed out to Anaheim.
Tuesday- happy 6 months to Isaac! He is just the cutest! He does this growl screeching noise now and sits very well on his own. And full of smiles! He slept pretty good last night only woke up two times and that was to eat but I'm not sure if it's because he was sleeping with us or he is getting better because we switched his formula. And did introduce him to apple sauce and prunes lol
We headed to Disneyland! We were able to ride all the rides I wanted to except one. We took Isaac on a few rides, the first one being it's a small world. He only cried on one ride and I think it's because the person was really loud! We bought him a cute little Micky mouse outfit! And did pretty good at Disneyland! :) I love my sweet baby boy! It was a pretty cold windy day :( I'm starting to gain weight blah so need to get back into working out soon. Our hotel rooms adjoined so all of us were together.
Wednesday- off to California adventures today! I'm pretty sure my milk is almost all dried up yay i feel a lot better!!! Happy day! My legs are feeling sore today :( but not much we can do with Isaac here or that we even care to do. It's nice in the sun but there is some cloud coverage :(
Eventually we just ended up leaving around 3. We got back and just relaxed! Later we ordered Pizza Hut pizza and went to bed
Thursday- Isaac was a cranky baby today maybe cuz he was said we weren't at Disneyland anymore. We took our time today and just relaxed. We helped watch Logan and Lucas. I went to target for a little bit. Later in the evening spencer and I left Isaac with grandma and grandpa and walked around the mall. Then that evening we went to Denny's to hang out with Desiree
Friday- we were going to leave at midnight but our trip got cut short and we had to leave this morning because there is a snow storm coming to Utah and we don't want to get hit by it. :( I'm very sad to leave early and had to rush out. We made really good time only stopped twice and it was nice to be home
Saturday- we woke up and got ready. Isaac and I hit the road to go to jades first birthday! Not too bad of a drive. We got to see all the family on my side again :)
Then it took forever to get home because the snowy weather was pretty bad so we got home around 7 and left at 330. Then we just relaxed for the evening. And decorated our Christmas tree.

Cousins for thanksgiving

Sunday- a fairly good nights rest. Church wasn't too bad. The jeopardy game went well in primary. Then had a short down time at home and later went to my parents for a little bit for dinner!
Monday- didn't feel like doing much but I accomplished editing photos so that was great! And cleaned up a bit. Mostly tried to keep Isaac from being fussy. Then yay we went to iggys for dinner and got lost finding the movie theater it's so confusing. Then saw the amazing 50 anniversary of doctor who, loved it! Thanks mom for watching Isaac :)
Tuesday- at one point I laid on the floor with Isaac and we sang and danced to nursery rhymes! It was lots of fun! Other then that I did a few chores and my milk is so close to finally being all dried up! Which makes me so happy but also kind of sad. Then we walked over to grandmas for a little bit. Then made dinner. I've realized Isaac is very whiny. I hope it's just a stage and he will soon be over it. I looked more into possibly getting a business license for my photography business. Had a fairly decent day
Wednesday- exhausted!! I was up until 1230 with Isaac. He woke up crying. He only would go to sleep on me a certain way and if I laid him down he would cry so it was rough. we got up and headed out to salt lake to meet up at IHOP for breakfast with a friend but sadly her son hit his head and we weren't able to meet up :(
So I called spencer and he took an early lunch to have breakfast with me. :) then I did a few errands and we went to my moms house to hang out with cache, jade, j, Jessica, Stephanie and grandma. We finally had all the Nielsen grand kids together for once! I brought over the kittens for a little bit too :) then went home to do laundry. Then later went back over to grandmas. We all had dinner then hung out for a little while before going back home.
Thursday- happy thanksgiving! We slowly woke up and got ready to head over to grandmas house. After a little while Jon and Mallorie arrived and we did Christmas presents. Isaac got some great toys! We all had lots of fun! And ate yummy food. I made a pumpkin poke cake. It was delicious!!! We took some updated family pictures! :) then later we all left to go home.
Yesterday I decided I won't pump at all anymore so I'm at the point where DO NOT touch me is said in my head, there is a bubble lol now Isaac I cant tell that too but we manage. Then we hurried and got everything packed up!
I'm thankful for my whole family and especially my little family. And for spencer and all he has had to put up with while being married to me. He is a thoughtful and patient man. And for our sweet baby boy, he teaches us so much! And especially for the gospel and the guidance and light it brings us in our life. The list could go on!
Friday- up early in the morning not for Black Friday shopping but to head out to Idaho to have all the peacock family together. We got there around lunch time. We pretty much hung out and didn't do a whole lot. Then later went to pizza pie cafe to have dinner together. Yummy
Saturday- rough night and spencer took Isaac after 12 so I could go to sleep. We decided since he hasn't pooped (just little pieces) in awhile and I haven't given him solid food that maybe it's his formula so we bought a different brand and got some prune food. Then around 12 we headed off to California. So we pretty much drove most the way and Isaac slept most the time and then we stopped at a hotel in beaver, the same hotel we stopped in awhile back
