Family Reunion

We recently went to the Winn Family Reunion in Nephi and had a blast. It was really fun to visit with all of Curt's family. The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins and riding on the four wheeler. Curt & Lisa made it to the finals of the hoseshoe tournament (but lost).

Going on the Wild Mouse.

Cole & Kyle on the baby boats.

We all got soaked on the Rattlesnake Rapids.

Tilt a Whirl...Mom didn't go on this one thank goodness!

Backpacking Trip

Hannah survived a backpacking trip with all boys. Curt took Hannah & Blake into the Uintas with Shaun and Zach and they spent two night camping, hiking and fishing.

Summertime Fun

I took Cole and Kyle to the Zoo with Auntie Kelly and we had lots of fun.
Here is Cole with a monkey (the animal he is most closely related to)

Cole sitting with the big gorilla.

Here are Cole and Kyle on the train.

Cole is finally coming out of his shell!

Hannah, Blake and friend at the pool.

Hannah floating around at the pool.

Kyle has no fear of the water. He is going to be a great swimmer one day.

Cole was showing me all his cool moves. His favorite was the back flop...no surprise there!

Ute Stampede

Grandma & Grandpa with us at the Ute Stampede. This was right after the rodeo when they let you go out and look for buried coins.
Hannah & Blake with cousins Ryann, Zach & Kobi

Hannah & Ryann with some baby cows. You should have seen the look on Hannah's face after she went to pet one and it started sucking on her fingers...I wish I'd got a picture of that!

Here is Grandma Nielson with some of the grandkids.

Grandma was honored in the parade and at the rodeo for being "past royalty" in the Ute Stampede.

4th of July

Here is our house on 4th of July. We've been working hard on the outside the last two (maybe three) years and it is finally starting to look like a real yard. I actually got to plant shrubs and flowers this year. Now we are working on the back and it is a mess!

Curt's "Wild Life"

Here are a few of Curt's photos from some of his wildlife excursions. And yes....that is a swan that he shot...can you believe it? This post is for any guys who look at these blogs.

Busy Blake

Blake has been very busy the last few weeks. He went fishing on the Ham's Fork with his dad and grandpa and caught the biggest fish of they day (and the biggest one of his life!) We also had a swim meet here in town that Hannah and Blake swam in and did great. We also had special spectators... Grandma and Grandpa came to cheer them on. Lastly, Blake had Cub Scout Camp for two fun-filled days at a camp in the Uinta Mountains. His favorite part was archery.
