Lots of Pictures

So I know that back in May I said that I was back, and I meant to be, but the summer was just full of fun and running around! So here are tons of pictures from this summer. We had so much fun living with Grandpa and Grandma Neilson from May until the end of July. While we were there Hyrum and Sami and their kids came to visit. Also, Meg and her boys were able to come up for a visit. We played and enjoyed the wonderful weather in beautiful Cordova. Eric worked as much as he could for Wilson again...he seemed to enjoy running equipment a lot this year. We had a great time with family and friends! Now here are just a few of the pictures!
Grandpa reading a story to Graci, Ericka, Claire, and Ty
Claire enjoying a ride in the swing
Cool glasses girls!
We played at the "Sand Pile" at nine mile a lot! Lilly loved this little chair...and she loved eating her potatoe straws, even after she rolled them in the sand!
Claire loves a good baby back rib!!
Yummy!! Just thinking about those ribs makes me want some right now!! (They were the best ribs I have ever had...my parents both really know how to cook!!)
We celebrated Lillian's first birthday. Meg was there at the time, and was awesome in putting the party together! Thanks sis!!
Just tasting...
forget the tasting. She dove right in and devoured that cupcake! Lilly loves cake!
And Cole loves his ice cream cone! He is such a little ham!!
Couldn't quite get all the kids to pose right, but we had to get a picture of their awesome head pieces!
Lilly didn't keep her princess hat on for long, but it sure was cute!
What a HUNK!! And the little guy is pretty dang cute too! Megs boys just  love Eric!
The kids love Grandpa Neilson! As soon as he would get home they would all go crazy with excitement!
Isn't she beautiful? So is the little one!
One of the many trips down the river. We had so much fun going down and playing in the water, fishing, eating lots and lots of hot dogs, and just enjoying beautiful Cordova Alaska!
The girls couldn't wait to get their suits on...they just dove right in with most of their clothes on!
One of our trips to the glacier...not too much activity this time. Doesn't Eric look like a real mountain man with his beard, and that was before it got thick and shaggy!
Lilly LOVES the water!! She would just get right in and not want to get out, even when she was freezing!
Look at that gorgeous girl! It was so fun to hang out with Meg! (Baaah, ha, ha, ha-love you Meg)
Meg and I made tie-die (spelling?) shirts one night, it was so fun!
My little buddy
The kids all geared up to go home after a fun run down the river.
It was such nice weather, but riding in the boat did get a little chilly!
This time the boat was crammed with stuff because Eric and I took the kayak down and we had to bring it back in the motor boat...so Meg was crammed down by the kids' feet.
The spoils from a run down the river! What I would give to have some marinated, grilled red right now!
Best friends (sometimes:))
The girls with Grandma Neilson...they were "hiding" behind the rock.
Lilly doesn't like to sit still for the camera, she just wants to grab it.
I sure miss these two so much!! The best parents in the world!
Love you babe!
We couldn't keep this girl still, she was just motoring all over the place. She loved the big rocks!
Our little family.
The girls wouldn't stay out of the fire ring. They liked pretending like they were making a fire.
The girls all snuggled up! Lilly was being a bit of a pill...I really wanted her zipped up in my moms jacket, but we couldn't make it work.
Eric in his own little paradise! Doesn't he just look so happy!
Another trip to the sand pile. We miss Leslie and Hal and Jay...We had so much fun with them!
The girls loved playing in the sad and water!
Lilly making mischief as usual! She loved this little floaty tube!
Lil in the water again, she loves it!!
