WHAT'S NEW WITH THE NELSON'S?

Jim, Jamie, and I had an awesome experience in Glendale at Midwestern University attending Jacob's White Coat Ceremony! Jacob is working extremely hard and doing very well. He is loving what he is learning!!


"Student-Doctor Jacob Nelson" is his title now!

Just before receiving his white coat...he looks extremely happy!

Second cousins David & Jacob

Carly turns 3





...and Johnny turns 30!! Jim and I watched the kids for a few days while Jamie & Johnny took a much deserved vacation to New Mexico for the balloon festival.





Jacob was chosen to be 1 of 8 participants in the "MR INSTITUTE PAGEANT". It was sooo funny!!


The Theme: Macho Libre.........Jacob and "his coach"

Ballroom Dancing with his partner was his talent portion of the pageant (he made his own tux out of a trenchcoat)

The group dance...showing their moves

These 2 last pictures are showing his "peacocking" skills


Another fun night with Jacob in Glendale...HE WAS HILARIOUS AND A VERY GOOD SPORT!!
