Stephen Nelson Pleasant Grove Freshman Scrimage

#81 Stephen Nelson (practice jersey)

Stephen- Fullback

Rio Linda Scrimage Jamboree

Stephen Nelson, Cole Thompson, Jacob Fagan

The 3 Muskateers!

Stephen was so excited after his first Freshman football scrimage experience when he showed me his "battle wounds" with a big smile on his face. It better not get worse than this!

I thought I enjoyed watching Michael play basketball in high school. Watching Stephen play football is just as exciting! Sorry for whoever sits next to me at games ( I have a bad habit of hitting whoever is there) I dont even realize I'm doing it.......

"There is nothing more vital to our success and our happiness here than learning to hear the voice of the spirit. It is the Spirit who reveals to us our identity-which isn't just who we are but who we have always been. And that when we know, our lives take on a sense of purpose so stunning that we can never be the same again."

Sheri Dew

The boys love getting letters from their missionary brother. Nothing better than seeing my boys read letters from their big brother encouraging them to follow in his footsteps!

Bryce and Dash

Bryce is 11 years old and just starting 6th grade. He is creative and a lot of fun to be with. He loves to draw and cook much like his Dad. He just picked up a snare drum to play in the school band. This is something new that he is really excited to try this year. He was hoping to play tackle football this year but Mom is a little reluctant to throw him out to the wolves so soon. Sorry Bryce! Maybe next year. Not sure about this drum thing......we're gonna have to stick to a schedule on this one. My eardrums are already starting to hurt.....

Sophia the Sophisticated

This is Sophia and she is our adopted daughter. We just love her to death because she is sweet and fun and just great to have around so we decided that she is ours! Actually, whenever I want to see a chick flick or just have some girl time this is who I call. She is also extremely talented and gifted. She sings like the girl in Phantom of the Opera and she can act and dance and you name it.....she can do it! She adds a peacful and beautiful element to our little family of boys. We love you Sofa!

Our High Schooler

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen! When it comes to the life of the party.....there's Stephen! He keeps us laughing all the time. Stephen Wayne Nelson was born on March 29, 1995 . When Stephen was little and first began to speak. He never said a word until he could speak perfectly! Never baby talk. He started laughing in his sleep when he was about 3 months old and he hasn't stopped since! Stephen keeps the Nelson household entertained! Stephen loves sports, especially baseball and football. Although he played soccer for 7 years. He loves to have a good time and entertain his friends. Stephen is a passionate soul, he holds nothing back and is very determined.
