JULY

One of the best things that happened in July was that Cassi, Bryce and Jackson came to visit!!

I sure love Cassi... we had a great time together. We took the kids swimming, played games, watched our favorite reality shows together, visited lots and just had a good time.

My dad has this amplifier and he LOVES to turn the music up loud. He has done it for years at family reunions, but one night just at the house he hooked it up because he loves to see Karalyn dance. All the kids had a great time.

Griffin and Jaylie dancing.... they could have danced ALL night!!
We went to the museum in Helper one of the days that Bryce and Cassi were here. My boys of course loved the train!! 
Bry has a picture of himself in this when he was little so we got one of the boys.

Another Highlight in July was our Nielson family reunion. We always have such a good time. I have a wonderful family. This is Griff fishing at the fish pond.

Sis at the coin find in the sand. She knew just what to do. Stand their looking cute and hold her bag open while Zac puts money in it!! 
I was in charge of games and so we played 'Minute to win it' games. We got everyone involved and I think everyone enjoyed both participating and watching... their were defiantly some good laughs.
Lacy won this challenge. You had to start with the cookie on your forehead and just using your face muscles get it in your mouth.
Uncle Scott and Aunt Diane picking up penna pasta with a noddle, only using their mouth.

Hayley had to dip her nose in vaseline and transfer cotton balls to another table faster than the other person.
Uncle Kent and Nate with a tissue box of ping pong balls strapped to their booties. They had to shake them booties good to get the balls to come out.

Our reunion is always on the 24th of July weekend and fireworks are a tradition.
The kids were WAY excited about the fireworks and were dancing in front of them.
Griffin got his first kiss... from his cousin Payton (ha ha) The picture I got of the kiss was blurry so I put this one of them cuddling. The became best friends at Lake Powell and now they want to marry each other. I am totally ok with this... my first kiss was a cousin too (ha ha) 
One of my bestest (I like this word, my boys use it all the time) friends game to visit from Arizona. We got together a few times with Lorie another great friend and had a FABULOUS time together!! 
Love ya girls!!
