Nielson Reunion

Off to Roosevelt yesterday for the Nielsen Reunion. More specifically, the Uinta Mountains near Roosevelt. The weather was great, and Will got filthy which is a good indication that he had a great time.
In this picture, is an angry Lydia being held by her dad of course. Sandy's grandpa (Grandpa Sandy) is trying to get her to stop to no avail. This is Lydia and Will's great grandpa. Sitting down in the green is Sandy's grandma, and in the white is grandma Nielsen, the kids' great, great grandma.
Evidence of Will's filthy self, hanging out with Lexi, who is Will's 2nd or 3rd cousin. Not sure. He collected 'treasures' (i.e.- garbage) and carried them around in his shirt pocket all day. After we got home, no amount of bathing could get all the dirt out of his hair.

I will not attempt to name all of these relatives, but they were all very nice.

I was there too. Overall, a nice short trip, despite the long drive and a kind of grumpy baby.

Discovery Gateway, and Our New Camera

It was kind of terrifying, but we bought a new camera that seems to be pretty cool. Perhaps a bit too cool, I think the camera's IQ is higher than mine. I took it to the park today for a few random shots, I think they turned out pretty well.


Man, my kids are cute. We also went to Discovery Gateway today with Amy, Olivia, and Makena. Good times! We love hanging out with them when they are in town. Vegas is just too far away :(


Makena (1) and Olivia (3) are perhaps the two cutest girls I know.
(Except for my own, and anyone else who is reading this that has a girl- yours are also the cutest.)


Will totally digs the cash register. It was quite popular today.

My funny little man

Will said some of the funniest things today. Sorry there's not photo to post, but I had to write these down somewhere so I would remember them.

- Rubbing the side of his head he said, "I get a headache right here when I run out of ideas."
- He's been playing tennis with his dad, and he loves to say that he's "getting real easy at tennis."
- He told me tonight that if Sandy ever said I was dumb, he'd "fight him up" for me. Specifically, that he'd poke him in the stomach with a stick.

Man, that kid cracks me up.

Camping and marshmallows

We went camping for the 'Larry Richman Reunion' this past weekend, down in Huntington Canyon. We couldn't keep Will away from the marshmallows. He probably roasted fifty of them. A large majority of the melted mallows ended up on his hands, face, hair and clothing. He did manage to eat a few, but they were covered in ash. Mmm...yummy. (minerals, right?) We're going camping again this weekend for the Huff Reunion. I think I'll pack extra clothes.
