Fishing and Father's day

When Casey and I decided to get married last year, he was trying to think of ways to ask my dad if he could marry his daughter. He was at my house and my dad was out in the shop working on somthing, so Casey decided to go help him out. Casey finally got up the courage and asked my dad if he could marry me, but dad said "yes, but only on one condition." Casey replied "what's that?" My dad said "You have to come fishing with me and the boys up the Flaming Gorge every year!" So this last week Casey had to keep his end of the bargain and went fishing with my dad, uncle Be-Rad, Jesse, Brandon, and a few other guys. It rained alot, but he still had a really great time.

Casey's Big Catch!

The boys came home last saturday, so Sunda, on Father's Day we celebrated with a Fish Fry! We ate the fish the boys caught, it was so yummy! We all brought pot luck to complete the meal. We also celebrated all the June birthdays. There are alot. Tayten's is on the 9th, mine is on the 15th, Casey's and Wyatt's is on the 16th, Jesse's is on the 21st, and Kassie's birthday is in June as well.

After we were done eating, us Nelson girls get a little crazy, and I had the super idea to go out and jump on the tramp and take pictures of ourselves. It was a good idea too, becuase some awesome pictures came out of it!

Like this one for instance, haha look at amanda

And Jaydale looks pretty excited about this jump!

Good times for sure!

Lagoon, Graduation, and a Fun Run!

Last week I got the opportunity to go to Lagoon with our Senior Special Ed. Kids. It was so much fun! I love all of the kids I work with so much, and it was tons of fun to go to Lagoon and hang out with our Seniors. They graduated on Tuesday, and it's safe to say that I'm going to miss them so much!!! We had 5 the graduated, that's the most we've ever had that graduated at the same time. I'll miss them a ton! Here are a few pictures from Lagoon.

The car ride home, yay! We're all a little tired...

Well on Wednesday I beleive it was, my darling niece Kylee graduated from the 5th grade!! It's so crazy to me that she is going to start middle school in august! She's just growing up so fast, it's crazy! Kylee is like a little sister to me, and I love her so much, and can't beleive she is growing up! I didn't get any actual pictures of the graduation, but Jaydale threw an excellent BBQ in her honor, it was tons of fun, and the whole family came to support her!

Here's a few pictures of Kylee when she was younger, so cute!!

I love love love this picture!!!!

And las of all, this morning Casey got me up at 7:30!! He did the Providence Fun Run and got 3rd in his age group, and 5th over-all. I'm so proud of my hubby! He's such a good runner! Here are some pictures of that.

Memorial Day Weekend

We sure had an eventful weekend, and tons of fun! It started off on friday, where Casey took me to Sports Authority and bought me some biker get up for our road bikes! And after that we went on over to Olive Garden, it was so yummy! Saturday we went for a long bike ride on our bikes, we love to ride so much, and it's something we really enjoy doing together. Later after that, we went to the Coppermill for my Cheer Reunion. Mrs. Harris, the cheer advisor for Mountain Crest is finally retiring after 21 years, so the reunion was a special one for her, all cheerleaders from the 80's up to this year were all invited to suprise Mrs. Harris, and congradulate her on her many years for putting up with a bunch of girls! Not everyone that was invited showed up, but it was still a pretty good turn out, and I had alot of fun, and Mrs. Harris was surprised and very touched. Here are some pictures!

Sunday was just like any other sunday, we went to church in the morning, relaxed for a couple of hours, and headed off to my parents house, where we grilled hamburgers and hung out!

Monday Casey and I really wanted to do something outside, so we decided to go hiking up to the Wind Caves in Logan Canyon. I invited my niece Kylee to go with us, and she brought a little friend. Kylee had never been up to the Wind Caves before, so I thought it would be a fun little experience for her to have. And we did have alot of fun!!! Although I'm very sore... When we came back down the mountain, we decided to grab some lunch at Taco Time and head over to Merlin Olsen Park to eat.

After we dropped Kylee and her friend at home we went home, washed up and headed over to my parents house, because they bought a new tramp with an inflateable basketball hoop on it. Amanda, Josh, Casey and I all played couples against couples, Casey and I won! It was alot of fun, but very tiring! All in all it was a wonderful weeked, and I'm glad I got to spend it with the love of my life, and my wonderful family!

Conserving water!

So this past weekend, my whole family went down to Salt Lake to see a Job that my dad recently finished. It's called West Jordan Water Conservation Park, I think. My dad builds water treatment plants for those of you who don't know, but this particular job was all about conserving water. My dad did most of the cement work, as well as many other things for this job. This park was built for the education in conserving water, they showed many different ways you could landscape your yard, as well as many other ways. We walked around the whole thing, and it was so interesting! Casey got alot of ideas on how we want our future yard to look. I'm so proud of my daddy! He works so hard! Here are some pictures of his hard work!
