Hey guys, it's your beloved little sister/daughter/aunt. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'm currently homeless and my computer is being stored at a friend's house. I'll have to post some pics of my trip to Northern California and Tahoe when I get it up and running again. I had a great trip out to Sacramento to see Zoob and help him move back to Utah for school. We visited with Uncle Dave and the kids. We also got to attend the Sacramento Temple open house. We backpacked at a place called Point Reyes, really unique, beautiful coast north of San Francisco. We also went to a Dodgers-Giants game. Unfortunately I had to endure torment from the stupid fans since that was the only game we lost in the Frisco series and I was sporting my True Blue pride. I didn't hesitate to remind them who was leading the NL West amidst their verbal abuse. It was Zoob's first MLB game and he absolutely loved it. I told him that not all games carry that much rivalry, but it does make it quite a bit more fun. We drove home to Utah through Tahoe and were able to spend a day at the lake and a couple nights with the Greenman's. As always, it was great to see them. For anyone who hasn't been up there recently, you should make the trip, they are superb hosts, good cooks, and more laid back than they get credit for! haha. Thanks again Kim. I hope everyone else is doing well, good luck to all the kids going/gone back to school!

Greetings

Well, I live in Vegas. Matt goes on vacation in Arkansas. I didn't see Mom last weekend in California because she was on a cruise to Mexico. Dad has a goat mounted on his wall. Scott's Clippers did well in the playoffs this year. Kristina is dating a professional skater. Kim goes to Southern California more than I do. And Danny actually has and uses a telephone.

Add to all the above the fact that I am expressing these surprising facts about the family on the Nielson "blog" and I would say that things have changed a bit since that billy goat first greeted us on Via Ranchero.

Anyway, hope to hear from you fellow bloggers. Thanks for setting this up B. I am well and might just turn a profit next month.

The Mom and Kristina at the 'Bird for a little spring skiing. This photo was taken just minutes before Mom hucked a double back flip off a 50 foot cliff.






Monte & Kristina at a Dodger game duing their pitiful losing streak, but luckily they replaced it with an 11-game winning streak!




In case you guys didn't know... Dad has officially gone crazy.

Aunt Tina,We love you!! Thanks for setting this up. The pictures are fabulous. (Emilie is sitting next to me helping me write this. She says she thinks you are awesome, better than butterflies.) We had fun seeing you and your pals. Monte and Emilie approve of Zoob, so if marriage is in the picture in the future it's o.k. with us. We think his a good guy. Our family is enjoying the beach, and fun. However, I think scott has gotten a little too much sun!! He buzzed Monte's hair and gave him a mowhauk. Yikes. I was furious, but have tried to forgive. I'll try to post pictures. And, don't worry the hauk will be off before school starts. HAve a fabulous week Nielson's and Greenman's. Love,Shellie

We're on board

Kristina--thanks for setting this up. this sounds like fun. I hope we can all do this. For me it will be a matter of remembering ;)

Hey guys, I started this blog, it's kind of like a website, but you don't have to purchase or establish a domain. I thought it would be a good way for us to share photos and keep in touch. It is pretty user friendly and if you just spend a couple minutes on this site you can figure out how to navigate around and perhaps upload some photos and such. Anyways, I love you all. Enjoy!
