We went to Cannonville last weekend to help Jack re-roof the cabin. Well I didn't help but Dustin and many others did. Here's Dustin and Kylee Bradshaw working hard. Before they redid it the cabin had shake shingles, which were so old Jack thought they were a fire hazard. Not to mention it leaked when it rained. So after talking about doing it for ten years or so its finally done!

Dustin also helped Unlce Mark with the hay. He cut and bailed for almost two days straight. We even stayed a little longer Monday to get it all done! But Dustin enjoys working on the tractor and Uncle Mark was happy for the help. Plus the view from Mark's fields is amazing, the red rocks are beautiful so the job has its perks!
We always go to Bryce when we visit Cannonville. It's one of my favorite places! Here were all are at Fairyland Point. Its amazing. If you haven't been to Bryce Canyon go now! What are you waiting for?? I absolutely fell in love the first time I saw it. The hoodoos are so crazy. Estefan said, "Hey look six people all stood there and turned to sand!" What a perfect explaination of what it looks like. Really they look like millions of people frozen in the sand. It's breathe taking!!!
One of my favorite views in Cannonville! You can see some of the hoodoos at the bottom of the picture.
And of course we had to update our Nelson Boys picture now that Mark is here! Little Mark and Big Mark, Dustin, Jack, Estefan and Grandpa Bill. Four generations of Nelson's in front of Great-Grandpa June's (Bill's dad) old store building. The red thing they're standing in front of is an old gas pump. There's a sign hanging from it that says "Too pooped to pump." Its very old and had lots of significance to our family. Dustin and really all the men in his family are very sentimental. Jack's always taking pictures. We love and cherish all the memories a picture can give. I'm sure when they're older Estefan and Mark will love this picture and look back on it and memories from Cannonville and remember so many good times. Who knows maybe someday they'll be living there running the farm. The Nelson farm has been through five generations and I'm sure that someday Dustin will be doing more work on it. If he had his way we'd be living in the cabin he's been designing for years, out on the back forty, living off the land and being happy as can be!!
