I love Liz and Brad Baker. They make my life happy.

Here is the Nursery, it is not quite done yet but my mom is coming this week to help me finish the bedding and hopefully soon I can find some good pictures to put on the wall.

So this is for our family since no one has seen me pregnant yet.

He is kicking like crazy and it is so fun to feel and see my belly when he kicks. Mike loves it on Saturday mornings, because he is always so active.

Farwell Little Blackie

Goodbye Little Blackie

Well we finally got our family car so that means we had to get rid of little blackie. Mike posted it on craigslist on Saturday morning and by that afternoon we had her sold. It has been a great car and I know Mike was kind of sad. So here is her final farwell.

Happy Halloween

Well Mike had to work a little bit later so some of his coworkers could get home to take their kids trick-or-treating, so we did not do much but Mike got his pumpkin carved he was really excited and it looked great.

Happy Halloween

Go Niner's!!!

This is us at out first 49er's game we were so excited to go and it was the hottest football game I have ever gone to.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!

We were so excited for yesterday. I could hardly sleep the night before I was so nervous and then it was time to go. We finally found out what sex our baby was. There was no question it is a baby boy in there. He was more than willing to show us too.

I was so excited I finally could go buy something for the baby. So I headed out and found some really cute stuff. So when Mike got home I put one of the outfits in a bag and told him it was from me and his baby boy. His face just lighten up and he was really excited so I took a picture. Mike is going to be a great father and I am so excited to have our little boy!!!

Greek Festival

A few weekends ago we went to the greek festival in our area. I was so excited for some yummy greek food. We also were so happy that Jed, Becky, Trey, and Brooklyn could come with us. We are really going to miss you guys.

Orange Walnut Chicken

So Mike schedule has been great for the both of us he has been able to come home around dinner time and that gives him time to do his favorite thing STUDY!!!!
So I have finally been cooking for the both of us and my mother-in-law gave me a big stack of recipes before we left Boise and this one is my favorite one that I have cooked so far.

Orange Walnut Chicken
3T. Orange Juice Concentrate
3T. Vegetable oil (divided)
1T. Soy Sauce
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
1/2C. Coarsely Chopped Walnuts
1T. Butter
4 Green Onions thinly sliced (divided)
1/2C. Orange Marmalade
1/2C. Orange Juice
1/4C. Lemon Juice
2T. Honey
1T. Orange peel
2T. Lemon peel
1/2t. Salt
1/8t. Pepper
Put over Hot cooked Rice

In a large resealable plastic beg, combine orange juice concentrated, 2T. oil, soy sauce and garlic. Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Remove chicken; reserve marinade. In a skillet, cook chicken in remaining oil until juices run clear. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, saute walnuts in butter until lightly browned; remove and set aside. Set aside 1/4C. green onions for garnish. Add remaining onions to saucepan; saute until tender. Add reserved marinade and the next eight ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil; boil for 2 mins. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 mins. or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve chicken over rice; top with sauce and reserved walnuts and onions.

This was so good so I hope you guys try and enjoy!!!

Neilson/Drakos Family Reunion 2008

McCall, ID
Thanks Mom and Dave for taking us on this great vacation we love it when we can all get together and have so much fun.

Finally a Vacation

Mike and I were so excited to get out of town this past week and just have a little fun together and the best part is that we got to spend time with both families so it was great.
We first got to Boise and had a great weekend with them so here are a few pictures so you can see the fun!!!!



The Boys Doing their favorite thing when they get together all night gaming parties!!!


The kids were getting bored and hot so good Uncle Mikey went and bought a pool for the kids to play and don't you worry he made his appearance, but he would not let me post the picture sorry.

Giants Game

Mike and I at the Giants Game.

Yes we are still Alive

Everyone has been getting so mad at me that I got them started blogging and I do not keep mine updated. So Here you go I am going to add alot to get all caught up on the fun things Mike and I have been doing.

Crazy Life

Well I am not a big fan of just writing to tell you what has been going on in our lives but we have not been doing anything fun but working.
Mike has been in a conference room for about 15hrs a day and I have been driving back and forth between my now two properties that I manage. I still nanny and do hair also on top of that. It is defiantly a CRAZY, BUSY LIFE!!!
Coming soon will be some pictures of the property where we live and the one I just took over. I know so exciting, but I am proud because the apartments are getting filled pretty fast yeah play time might be coming sooner that I thought.
Here is a little more on Mike he finally got a standing ovation award. It is defiantly well deserved and long over due for all of the hours he puts in.
Well I hope all family and friends are doing well and we love you all!!!
