It has been a busy couple of weeks for us! And on top of everything I have caught some kind of cold or something that has had me feeling not that great. But I figured it was time to catch up on the blog. A lot has happened so I am just going to sum up!
Kim's Wedding!
We are all very excited for Kim, Chris's sister, who go married in Sacramento on the 20th!!! This offically means I am the only Kim Nield, which is also cool! We drove there - it was a long drive but Cortney did amazing both ways!!
On the way there Chris and Cortney were enjoying sweedish fish, when we heard Cortney said, "Ahhh! My face!!! Give it back!" She was biting off the fish heads and saying that :)
The sealing was beautiful and sweet and the reception was a lot of fun! Cortney danced the night away, every time we went to sit down she would drag us out on the dance floor again. Here is a link to pictures from the wedding that Aunt Paula took:

Basically we had a really fun time! All the siblings got involved when Kim sang and the Boys danced this is a must see!!! From the left the order is Matt, Chris, Jackson and Paul!

Favorite Quotes from the past couple weeks:
Cort's fish head one
Paul asking Derric, Kim's new husband, if he was going to come to the reception in Texas.
I asked Cortney if she wanted to play legos with me and she said "In a minute I am almost done" - So grown up!
Watching Max and Ruby - Ruby says "Having a heartbeat is very important if you want to stay healthy"
Cortney and I have also started a new "school" this week. We call it Mommy and Cortney school because we do it at home but it has been so interesting to see how much she is willing to learn and do new things. While we cannot afford preschool, we could afford to buy curriculum online. The particular one I found comes with over 10,000 pages of coloring pages, activities, arts and crafts projects, recipes and more. Sometimes as I mom I feel like I don't really know what to talk about or what to do, and this has been fantastic and she has really come to get very excited about going to school everyday!
Our hot water was also out - only in our shower for a couple days. The handle broke, we have a separate one for hot and cold - so we had to warm up the baths the old fashioned way. So that was fun for a couple days, but we are very happy to have our hot water back!!
Chris also started school last week - which he is pretty excited about. One year, two semesters, to go! His internship was pretty cool, and we love the job because they are going to let him stay on part time while he goes to school! Big blessing!
We are all getting excited for Jenn's wedding in less than two weeks! I am going a little crazy not being able to show everyone her gorgeous bridals I took a couple weeks ago! I am also excited to take her wedding pictures - I have been having a lot of fun learning new things about photography and taking lots of pictures lately!
Overall it has been a busy end of summer, but we have been having a ton of fun!
