Big Nielson Reunion

Much to our dismay we drove to Washington!  We thought we were going to be done with that drive for a while, but not so.  We were happy to get to go though.  It will always be home.  We had lots of new cousins to meet and play and swim and have lots of fun!

These little boys were dunking their heads in the buckets, they were so funny.  (Rett and Brad’s twins)

The weather was fantastic the first day.  Perfect for soaking yourself!

Michelle’s little girls were darling, just like their mommy.  They wanted their pictures taken too.  I was happy to oblige!

Rett couldn’t get enough of the water.

Bode brought every motorcycle he owns and shared with everyone.  Justin and Kurt took a few rides around out at the pool.

I just love the landscape and scenery.  Who would have thought you could miss a hay shed?

Emma could not resist Greg’s new born BIG baby.  I couldn’t resist him either.  He was so snuggly and cute!

Rett found Aunt Tricia’s car door opened and helped himself in.

I didn’t get any pictures of Justin he was pretty much MIA. We all had a great time and cant wait to get together with cousins again soon!

Sunday At Island Park

Sunday we went to church (with about 1200 other Mormons) It was a packed house! There is no way for them to accommodate all of the people for Sunday School and Primary so we left after Sacrament Meeting. We spent the rest of the day relaxing, eating, playing, the things you do on Sunday afternoon. Justin and some other boy cousins got to jumping over the "bears" in the living room. They were so cute, they had to take their shirts off to do it better. Claire wasn't feeling very well with an ear infection, but even she couldn't resist a turn or two!

Island Park Trip Day 1

We got packed up and drove to Island Park this morning. Trish and her kids stayed the night at our house and then we met up with Mom, Dad, Bret, and Jen. The weather is just beautiful up here, not to hot, but just right! All of the rivers were full of floaters all the way here. We got unloaded and settled into the cabin, which is so fun! This was our room, (it is Jen's family cabin) The pictures didn't do it justice, it is so well done! The kids have been up and down and in and out and the adults have sat out on the porch until an evening rain and hail storm came through and forced us in. It is so quiet here, we are loving it! Ryan didnt get to come, we are hoping he will surprise us later this week, we will see?? Fun summer days with family! We love it!

Were BACK

From our fun Christmas/New Years trip. We went to a cabin in Cascade with all of our Nielson Family. We had a great time sledding, eating, snowmobiling, visiting, hot tubbing, ping ponging, wii, and lots of other fun! We are glad, I think to be home. Christmas always passes to quickly. I have gobs of pictures that wont post, imagine that! Time to get back to real life.....
