This is an email Tyson sent out to all his friends a few weeks ago - he thought it was pretty funny how he worded the title!
I know that all of you would want to be the first to know about the news that Alycia and I have to tell you. I contemplated the best way to let you all know without someone being offended that they didn't hear it before some one else. So to solve this dilemma I decided to just email the news. That way if you find out before or after someone else, you only have yourself to thank or be mad at. Of course those whose email addresses I don't have I guess will still be mad at me, but I can't please absolutely everyone right?
As you all know Alycia and I have been married for a year and about two months. In this time we have often contemplated when the right time would be to add an additional member to our new family. I take pleasure in announcing that the time has come. Yes, my friends, that's right, the time is here for me to announce that there will soon be another member to the Nelson Family. Alycia is - well -how do you say it -letting me buy a new snowmobile!
That's right I will be picking up a 2000 Polaris RMK 800 on Tuesday night. More details and pictures of the new arrival to come in the near future.
If any are wondering what an appropriate gift would be to express you excitement for our new family member, might I make a few suggestions: handle bar risers, cover, skid plate, or if you would all like to go together on a trailer.
I'm just kidding about the presents!!!
Thanks,
Tyson and Alycia too (although she took no part in this, other than really letting me buy a new sled.)
Tyson, Alycia, Brenna, Easton and Emmett

I guess I've been tagged!
The rules are...A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.B. Tag seven people to do the same.C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".
1. Ok – everyone who reads this is going to think I’m totally OCD – But I don’t care. Here it goes; I absolutely HAVE to have even numbers of things I eat like M&M’s, Skittles, chips, nuts, etc. I can only eat 2 or 4 or 6 etc, if I eat three at a time it’s ok, but only if I eat three more to make it an even six!
2. I LOVE steamrollers – going back to number one, I also like things to be really smooth. Seriously – if everyone I knew chipped in a few bucks, I bet I could get one for a birthday or Christmas present. Tyson got to drive one the other day at work (it’s not part of his job description as a construction manager, but they asked if he would like to drive the paver and steamroll part of Legacy Highway when he went to check on a job site and he said “Heck ya!”) Anyway – he came home and told me his boss said I could drive one anytime I want. I don’t think I could ever be a steamroller driver though – I’d probably get fired for taking too long ‘cuz the road would have to be perfect!! It would bother me if it wasn’t totally smooth.
3. About liking everything smooth – just a little bit of satin makes me really happy. Not too much, just a little – I don’t want to look like I’m wearing an 80’s prom dress for Pete’s sake! I’m obsessed with lotion – I need smooth skin – this Utah air is killing me here! I also like to touch stuff like fabrics or rocks or plants, for example if I see an interesting texture of something at a store or maybe on someone’s shirt – I have to touch it. Tyson and I were in the mall the other day and he commented on the fact that I was touching everything we passed! I even turned around to go back to something I missed and he’s like – “how did I know you were going to do that!” I don’t even realize I’m doing it until someone points it out.
4. I floss my teeth All the time – thanks Dad! My dad is an avid flosser and has those disposable flossers with him all the time – I guess that rubbed off onto me, But I have to floss – one stinkin’ tooth gets food stuck in it all the time – seriously it’s so annoying and my dentist claims he can't fix it - it's his fault too! Anyway – those Reach flosser’s are my best friends – they look just like a toothbrush – I have two – one at home and one in my purse.
5. I absolutely hate putting away clean laundry or clean dishes – I actually really like doing laundry and washing dishes – but putting the stuff away? No thanks. I have to force myself to do it.
6. I love smells and how they can bring back memories – the smell of coffee and ham reminds me of my Grandma's house and of luncheons after Lutheran funerals – yeah, I already know I’m weird! Anyway, I love the smell of coffee, wet dirt - yum – the farm after it rains, the Spiced Vanilla Salt City candle – I actually hate vanilla scented things, but this candle has a Christmassy cinnamon smell, I also like the smell of sage brush/oregano – seriously one summer day I was walking in the pasture on the farm and I smelled oregano and realized it was the sage brush! I love how the pasture smells on a hot summer day, and I also love the smell Tyson’s cologne and also his deodorant! Some smells make me nauseous though – like the smell of goats and goat cheese/milk – sick! I hate cows milk to start with, but goat milk – barf!
7. I have tons of nicknames – seriously, I don’t think people can call me by my real name! When I was little, my dad called me Aly-ish-a, my friend Lisa calls me Virginia – she even sends me mail addressed to Virginia. Some other ones are Aleesh, Aleeshkabee, and Aleeshpee – yeah, thanks Jesse. I like to call other people Bobby and I like to call silly kids like Jeffrey Billings a gomer.
Well – there ya go – now you all know how weird I am and that I probably need to be treated for OCD. Anyway, I guess I’ll tag; my Mom, Theresa, Heidi, Serena, Lisa Steadman, Layla, and Amy Nilsson. Have fun!

Blog Blotter
WOW, I must be up and coming in the world. I now have a blog. Nope I don't think having a blog says anything about me other that the fact that I have a beautiful wife who is much more social than I. I will, however remind her that while she created the blog, I will be the first one to post on it.
