Trip to the Cemetary

On our way home from the camping trip we spent the night at Amy's/Grandma Nelson's. We should have planned better, because we missed the parade and rodeo by a day, but we had a lot of fun anyway. I decided to take a walk up to the cemetary to visit Grandpa Nelson's grave. All of the kids except Skyelynn and Audrey wanted to come with me and I was happy for the company.

As purdy as that hat looks, something tells me Grandpa wouldn't wear it.

On the way home, the kids decided they were done walking, so we crammed everyone into the wagon and dragged the bike behind us.

Camping

We went camping at Alturas Lake (near Red Fish Lake) in Idaho. It was a beautiful area and had a lake with a very nice beach. The water was about as cold as Bear Lake, a little on the chilly side, but we had fun swimming in it.

The sand castle may not be real elegant, but they are boys, they had more fun digging the moat and getting the water all the way around it.

One day we had a lot of rain and hail. After it cleared up, it was still too cold to go swimming, so Dad, Trevor and Logan went geocaching.

What a splash!

Trevor will make a great scout soon. Not only can he keep up on hikes and loves camping, he could sit all day around the campfire (even if there isn't a fire in the pit).

Mmmm... Pudding...

What can I say, the girl likes her pudding.

Stars and Stripes

I think he could fit right in in Hollywood. What a star!

1 Year Old

Hard to believe Audrey is 1 year old.

She has very beautiful eyes.

But they are getting sleepy. Should we call it a night?

Spidey's Birthday

Logan turned four years old! Look at that snazzy basketball cake.

Is that spiderman? No, just Logan with a spiderman scooter, helmet, pads and sandals.

Ties

Get ready for some posts. I haven't posted in a few days (but who is counting right?), so I thought I'd go through the camera and post a handful of pictures.

I was getting Logan dressed for church and put on his tie. Kayson said he wanted a tie too, but we didn't have one for him. About 5 minutes later he came back and told me he found a tie.

Jump, Jump, Jump

I guess it is past time for a post. I have a million excuses, but none of them good, for not posting for so long. Here is Audrey in her Jumparoo that she got for Christmas. I'd say Santa knew what he was doing with this present.



Today we went to visit Grandma Great. Trevor took a nice picture of Grandma holding Audrey. I told him he'd have to post it to his blog, but later he decided he didn't like the picture and deleted it from his camera. Of course, he kept the picture of my truck that he took through the van window as we were pulling out of the garage. Amy, do you offer any kids photography classes? I'm afraid his artistic future is doomed.

Trevor's new blog.

Check it out. The link is on the right. Trevor has a new blog. He added his first post himself tonight.

From Audrey

Okay, Dad is not updating this blog often enough. I am too cute to not have millions of blog posts about me, so I guess I will have to post pictures myself. (Did I mention that I am really humble too?)

Here I am playing on the floor, but you better look quick because...

I'm leaning, leaning...

And over I go.

I like to be held, but this is a bit uncomfortable. I think I'm okay still.

Wait a minute! Is he old enough to hold me? And what is all over his face? Is that Mac & Cheese?

Well, at least I get a kiss. Everything is great.

See you all later. I'll keep bugging Dad to post more cute pictures of me (and the rest of the family I guess).
