Little Buddy
We read the scriptures with Evan every night from those Easy Reader scripture books. He won't read unless Dallin is there beside him. It's so precious to see Evan telling Dallin about Jesus. Evan is such a great big brother!

More of the new guy
This little Dallin is sure easy to handle. He is a great eater and already has a nice little schedule. At least 
for right now. He doesn't even flinch when Evan is running around screaming like a wild child, which is so nice. We're just having a lot of fun with him. He does have this sad, little shrill that goes off everytime he wants to eat immediately. It's pretty cute! He does have a real cry but saves it for special occasions. Most of the time he just squeaks, so Evan calls him Squeak-squeak. Evan sure is excited about his little brother.
He fell asleep on the way home from chuch and so Matthew put him right into bed. We saw him a minute later wandering around looking for his little brother. It makes him so sad when Dallin cries that he immediately runs in from wherever and hunts down the pacifier so he can stick it in his mouth. Then he'll stand there and hold Dallin's hand and rub his head to try and soothe him. It's so sweet, but we've always known that Evan has a pretty tender heart. Evan is at the movie theatre with his Grandpa
Bishop having his 2nd experience in front of the big screen (#1 was Polar Express at 16 months old). They're watching Ice Age 2. I hope it's a good experience for both of them. I'm just sitting here snuggling on the couch with my new little munchkin. Man, I love being a mom!

Dallin Brant Nielsen
Dallin was born on April, 13th 2006 at 3:54pm, just three hours after Bethany was admitted. He weighed 7 lbs and one-half ounce, and was 19.5 inches long. Bethany did amazingly well, especially in light of her not having an epidural. Congrats to both of them.

Free Days
We love free days here in San Fran and we try to use them as much as we can. We went to the Steinhart Aquarium on Wednesday with some of our friends and saw lots of cool fishes. They have a giant Sea Bass which I found frightening to look at. They also have turtles with snake necks and turtles with alligator heads. Crazy stuff! 
Saturday we went to a Discovery Museum across the Golden Gate. It has a big train table village and that is where we spent most of our time. They also had a large playground with some interesting structures and plenty of water to play in. a Of course Evan had a great time, and loved playing with his friends. He really is a little social bug. I love it!
Handsome Fellows
I just wanted to show off my 2 handsome boys. We sure would have liked to have a third one in the mix, but alas he is not in as much of a hurry as his brother. 
Evan wasn't so sure about his tie at first but now that he realized anybody who is anybody wears one we could hardly get him to take it off to go to bed. The boy has an iron will. He sure loves to go to church and I hear that he is one of the only ones who participates in song and lesson time. He makes sure that we read scriptures every night before bed and says some of the sweetest prayers. These little ones are pretty amazing.
