The Nelson's Newest Addition

Welcome the Nelson's newest addition. A 7 week old pure bred yellow lab. We named her Lily. Actually her full name is Aggie Ida Easter Lily. (Everyone wanted to name her, so we put all the names together. ;)

Spring Break!

What a fun break I had from school! For Spring Break, my family and I went to Arizona to visit Grandma Gloria. We had a blast! On our drive down we did get caught in a snow storm,

which made the drive real long due to the accidents,

but we did finally reach our destination.

While on our trip we drove to Mexico and spent a day there, played games (Phase 10, and Scrabble), and broke the record at Del Taco for most tacos eaten in one order (Can you guess how many we ate all together? Count our fingers!)

We also had "Best Yet Breakfasts" at grandma's every morning (look at the cute St. Patricks breakfast she set up for us).

Some of my favorite things were taking walks through Grandma's neighborhood, and playing in her front yard (with the football, and learning to how to long board), shopping in Yuma and at the swap meet (check out the sweet wig!),

going golfing twice at the nearby course,

and enjoying the weather and beautiful sunsets. This trip was so much fun, and I enjoyed spending time with all of my family!

Thanks Grandma! I love ya!

Miss Cache Valley 2010

This past weekend I had the opportunity to compete in the Miss Cache Valley Pageant. It was quite fun and I did really well. I took home the title of 3rd attendant! It was fun to meet and make friends with the other girls, and also prepare and then participate in the pageant on Saturday night. I learned a lot from this experience and also had a lot of fun! Here are just a few fun pictures of the night!

X-Country Skiing

I went cross country skiing with a few of my friends this past Monday and Tuesday and had a blast! We skied up Green Canyon and stayed overnight in a yurt. The weather was perfect and the mountains were beautiful for the trip. Although skiing was tiring because we had to pack all of our stuff 3.75 miles to the yurt, the trip was great. Once we got to our destination we had a snowball fight and played in the snow. We stayed overnight in the yurt and played games, stayed up late, and talked around the stove. I had such a great time and want to do this again for sure! What a neat trip!

Winter!

Wow this Christmas break sure has been exciting! With an entire month off of school, there are plenty of things that have happened over the long holiday break. Nathan and Sierra got married on December 19th, which was a special event for our family. I am happy for them both and wish them joy and happiness in the future. Here is a family picture at the temple right after the wedding.

Christmas music, and being with family and friends are my favorite things about Chrismas. I also enjoyed ringing in the new year with a bunch of my friends. I have been able to spend time with my friends, and visit with my family at different events which sure is fun!

Merry Christmas From Our Family To Yours

Miss Northern Utah 1st Attendant

On Saturday I participated in the Miss Northern Utah Pageant. What a fun day it was. I was able to meet many fun girls, and share my talents in the pageant. For the pageant I participated in an interview, group dance, swimsuit, talent (flute), evening wear, and on stage question. In the end I won the title of Miss Northern Utah 1st Attendant and received a 1 year scholarship to Utah State University! It was a very exciting night! I loved the support I got when my family and friends came to watch me. I want to give a big thanks to those who helped me with the pageant!
