Nelson Family Reunion 2009

Each year my mom's side of the family gets together for a Nelson family reunion. This year we were able to go to our cabin up in Island Park. My grandma just returned from her mission in North Carolina so it was so great to spend time with her and our extended family. Unfortunately my mom and Dale couldn't make it, but besides missing them we were able to have an awesome time.

Here we are at Big Springs. This is where the Snake River begins. The water is so clear and there are huge fish everywhere. It's absolutely beautiful.

I love this picture of Brayden. I just want to pinch those cheeks!

My nephew Zach just couldn't get enough of this little teddy bear. Too cute!

We took everyone to see the Mesa Waterfalls and Jadon was enthralled. He and Taylor are good buddies.

Emily and Brayden are ready to play in the water!

What wonderful husbands my sister and I have...foot massages and pedicures!


It's boatin' time!



My Uncle Greg and Tyson skiing...this was definitely a twice a day event.


Cousin Taylor about to wake board for the first time!

This was one of Zach's favorite things to do...ride in the wagon. So Eddie made him wear a helmet and at least he wore shoes because this kid hates clothes. After Zach's turn he wanted to give daddy one too. :)

Zach's helmet is just a little bit too small for his adult head...

Audrey Mae is the cutest girl ever! She my first "girl" cousin on this side of the family. Crazy!

I just couldn't resist getting this little guy on camera when he pulled on those sweet cowboy boots. I just love those legs!

Jadon was itching the whole trip and so when we went into West Yellowstone my sister just had to buy him a "scratcher" so he could scratch those itches! Here he is scratching Uncle Rick's chin for him.

The family that was able to be there!


We're already looking forward to next year's family reunion! Thanks Nelson family!

That little Brayden is the yummiest baby I think I have ever seen. What a fun week. I wish I could do things like this every month. Family time is the very best.

PS, I'm dying to see some belly pictures!
