Nelson Family Camp out!

We had a great weekend of camping in the Unitas. We stayed in the Soap stone campground which was very nice, although the bathrooms were very hard to breath in and take care of your business. Other then that the weather and lake were just perfect. It was great to get away from the heat and just relax for the weekend with family! The Nelson crew... so sad we missed Mel, Brad, Chloe, and Troy we love you guys!

Lindsey and Rachel playing in the cold lake water.
Cute Emily... I think this is her second appearance on the blog, you go girl!
Ellsie in her port a crib. She likes to eat to many things right now, so no crawling around. Thank goodness for the baby cage.
Cute Jaxon playing in the lake and loving it.

Blame the dog

My twin little boys! Gatlin had the shirt first and then my friend Lessa bought Jaxon one for his upcoming (fourth) birthday. So when Gatlin wore his, Jaxon of course needed to have his on. I think they both look so cute. It's so funny going places with the too of them, people always ask if they are twins. I explained what the shirt meant to Jaxon and now Jaxon's excuse for everything is the dog..... poor lilly!
As I was making this post, Jaxon saw the pictures and asked why Gatlin is taller then him.... Hmmm well my answer was "sorry buddy your mom and dad are short and you most likely will be a short guy". He thought about my answer for a minute and his reply was "I'll just were high shoes".

Zoo Zoo Zipty Zoo!

I've been trying to get to the zoo all summer long and it just never seemed to happen... But as you can see we finally made the trip to the zoo! Jaxon and Gatlin were so excited to see all of the animals and be with their cousins. Jaxon's favorite animal was the Giraffe's when we went to see them he said " WOW mom they are GI-normous". It was a great day, although I missed the hippo's those are my favorite, but I made up for it with a big bag of cotton candy!

Pioneer Day!

We all got together for a BBQ to celebrate the 24th of July and say goodbye to Dave and Patty's little family. They are moving to Pennsylvania, Patty sister lives there and they went back there last summer and just feel in love with the area. I can't blame them when Jed and I were on the truck that area was one of our favorites. The BBQ was great fun the kids enjoyed swimming and we got a couple of cute pictures with everyone, that can be a hard task at times. When the party was about over, Amy, Nellie, Maggie and Shay decide it would be a great idea to throw Molly into the pool (she was fully dress). Although I didn't get any pictures of the event it was just great. The best part about it was after they threw her in all the boys ran for them and threw Amy, Nellie, Maggie and Shay into the pool. Some how I stayed dry... I was worried for a moment and tried to stay out of the way. So the 24th was a great day, and we will miss Dave, Patty, Brianna and Austin, good luck you guys we will miss you all!

The boys were outside playing in the sprinklers and Ellsie wanted to join the fun so she crawled on over and just enjoyed herself. She is such a little sweet heart.

Family camp out

My little Ellsie was so sad, she just wanted me to hold her but of course I wanted to try and get a cute picture of my kids. Jaxon was so cute trying to get Ellsie to stop crying. He is such a good big brother.

Bear Lake

We had a great time at Bear lake this past weekend, we stayed up in a camp ground in Paris springs and then drove down to Bear lake. Jaxon and Ellsie had a great time playing in the water and sand, I think Ellsie just liked to eat the sand.
