July Fun!

Halloween Part 1 | Cannonville

The Nelson clan celebrated another Halloween in Cannonville this year! We enjoyed lots of food, family, costumes and of course....   CANDY!

Cannonville in the Fall

A few weeks ago Dustin, Mark and Papa Jack went to Cannonville to visit Grandma Bonnie,  get my horse and pick some apples. The leaves were brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red on Cedar Mountain Mark stopped and picked me a flower :)   Papa Jack and Mark climbing up Red Rock   Over looking Uncle Mark and Grandma Bonnie's homes   While they were sitting and enjoying the view, a storm blew in!
So they high-tailed it back down the hill!   Dustin and Mark at Promise Rock Next time you see Mark, ask him why they call it Promise Rock. :)   After a day full of adventures, the boys came back to Uncle Mark's to play some tunes.   'Til next time!

Our 4th of July Weekend

July 1st we headed to Panguitch for Grandma Bonnie's 80th birthday.
I failed to get a picture of her though (facepalm).

We had a good ol' time. Lots of games, cake, music, cake, BBQ, cake, visiting and oh cake!

We had planned to stay in Utah for the whole 4th of July weekend, but Allie and Luke had other plans.
They got super sick.
It was so sad. :(

So Sunday morning the 3rd {after cleaning up lots of yuck} we packed up and headed for home.

On the 4th, the kids managed to rally for some sparklers and to watch the town's firework display. My parents came over and we had ice cream and strawberries and enjoyed the nice night air.

Tuesday the 5th, Dustin stayed home from work, to help me with the sickies, make spaghetti sauce and sort through the mound of laundry.. oh and he mowed the lawns, helped his dad mend his porch and worked in the garden all while I took a nap.

Not exactly the fun filled weekend I had in mind..

but hey, you know what they say.

When life gives you lemons...
