Time Flys When You're Having Fun

The most treasured thing in the Neilson house...sleep.

If you look closely you can see BYU written on her forehead...

Carrying her toothbrush and her dog Hugo, a typical occurrence.

Got into my old Prom dresses and dance outfits...this girl man.

Camp out in her room with dinner and a movie...Cinderella of course. We set up this tent in her room in May and it just came down last week. Its run its course.

Short story: My brother's family had a BBQ on Memorial Day. My brother's family has a trampoline. My brother's trampoline has a cinder block wall around it. The cinder block wall is too big for the trampoline creating a hole just big enough for one Etta. My sweet Etta had a run in with said hole and wall...Wall 1 - Etta 0.
Did we have to go to the hospital? No as luck would have it we just needed an on site doctor-check. A towel for loads of blood-check. Hugs, kisses, rocking, and songs-check. Six Otter Pops for swelling and pain-check. Then believe it or not this girl was up and playing on that very same trampoline. This picture of her face was the day after and half as swollen. The next day her face was yellow...the next black and blue. Woo...I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry, but just for a second.

Then on June 5th we celebrated Julia's 18th birthday with dinner...

Sisters...

And cake...

And cousins...

Mason was particularly fond of Liam's fists.


The Birthday girl.

Wide eyed goober face Mason and Grandma.

We had a crazy first few weeks of summer that's for sure...but its been so fun to spend with with friends and family. Next we took a trip to Cali, but that needs a whole post of its own. Coming soon...
