The Beach!

We went to the beach in Cali with the Nielson side of the family but my family was camping just a few miles down the beach. It works out so well for us to get to spend time with both families. We had so much fun and are so greatful we got to go.

Warning: Lots of pictures ahead!

My sweet Mayli, such a beach babe!
My sweet little Tori, having fun in the "pool" that they made.
Tori and Abby "riding" on the boogie board

Mayli and Tori playing in the freezing water.

All the kids playing in the sand with Uncle Chad, he was so nice and even let them cover him in sand. Abby, Tori, Carson and Mayli.

Same 4 kids playing in the pool of water, they loved it!

My mom giving Tori a ride on the sweet bike they had. The kids loved it and it was very helpful to get from one campsite to the other.

My girls love their Uncle Lanny and had so much fun playing with him. Tori liked to drag him all over the beach.

Mayli going for a ride! She did really well with the little waves right by the shore. Maybe next year we will actually get her out in the water.

I love this picture of Me, Cath and the girls. She joined our family since Aj wasn't there.

We did family pictures at sunset with my mom at her beach, it was fun and as you can see it got a little crazy. I wish Aj was there but it was everyone else but him so maybe we can photo shop him in!

Left to Right: Lanny & Kim (just engaged), Megan & Ivan holding Jaxen, My mom Lori and Barry, Catherine, Jen and boyfriend Ed, Jessica (Cash in the belly) & Shane, Tori, Me & Mayli.

Us just chillin on the beach, it was so nice and we have so much fun together.

Wow this is such a good picture, you can't really see my huge belly and Mayli and TORI are both smiling! I love it!

Thanks so much for the fun times everyone!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice.....

Thats what my little girls are made of! Thats right folks we are having another little Nielson baby girl! My ultrasound went really well and she is looking good in there. We are very excited and Mayli just couldn't be happier since she has said it was a girl from the very beginning. We can't wait for her to get here!

My Baby is 5 today!

My Sweet Mayli Ann was born 5 years ago today. She was so tiny and such a blessing to our lives. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We love her more and more each day!

She is such a sunshine in our lives and is always making us laugh. She is a wonderful big sister and can't wait for her new brother or sister to get here. We love you Mayli and hope you have a fun fun 5th birthday!

My new Niece!

Emily Lyn Olsen

Was born on Tuesday June 23rd to Aj's sister Natalie and her husband Chad. They have one little boy named Carson who just turned 2 and I hear he just loves his new little sister. We are really sad to not be in Utah to get to see her but thanks to my sister in law Amy posting a picture of her sweet Abby holding her we finally got to see what she looks like! She is so sweet and we are so hoping they come to the beach so we can hold her. Mayli kissed the picture on the computer screen when she saw it (so cute!) We can't wait to meet her, congrats you guys!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! The girls were so excited to wear their I Love My Dad shirts and send their dad an e-card. It was really cute and they love him so much. We love you Aj!

My baby sister graduated!

Catherine Lacy graduated from Highschool on May 20th (the same day AJ left for Indonesia) lets just say it was a rough one. She is so stinkin cute and I am so proud of her for also graduating from Semenary and Message Therapy School.

Aunt Megan made my girls these cute tutus to wear to the graduation, they are Cath's school colors (and BYU's!) We got lots of compliments on how cute they looked, thanks Meg!
Me and my sweet sister. Can you believe that there are 10 years and a week between us? Ya I have my 10 year reunion coming up, should be interesting.


My cute girlys with their Aunt Cath, they sure do love her!

We love you Aunt Catherine!

A little help from my AZ friends!

Hey ladies! While I am in AZ this summer I have to have a couple of my check ups for my baby and my obgyn doesn't do the baby thing anymore so. . . It would really help me out if any of you in the Mesa/Gilbert area who love your obgyn could give me their name and phone #. Thanks so much to any of you who respond!
