Summer 2012
Family time at the Ranch - Mikaela is becoming quite the driver. :)
We had a really big Nielsen family reunion and our Danish relatives came over from Denmark. This little girl is Sophie next to Grandpa. She didn't speak much English - but loved my dad!!
Mikaela got a new bed - again!
2nd place Celtic Storm girls.
Mikalea got new soccer shoes - she treats them like a baby.
Four cute kids!
Mikaela's coach played on the BYU soccer team. He got recognized for Senior night and Mikaela and her team go to go out on the field. He ended up scoring a goal. We were all so happy for him!
Because his game was on the 4th of July, we got to see the jets fly over us.
We also had a ton of fires in June - one hit right by our house so they restricted fireworks. We only got to do a few sparklers this year. The kids still had fun!! :)
Mikaela always gets creative!!
My dad and Sarah's B-Day - we celebrated for July.
My Presidency members did this to my lawn for my b-day. It was the funnest surprise ever!
And I love the flowers in my front yard!
Matt took me to see David Beckham play REAL Salt Lake. Too bad we left before he took his shirt off. :)
Swimming up in Logan with our friends the Sampson's.
Karsten loving riding his new bike!
Me and Kaela all sweaty after a good run together.
Koby with a rocket painted on his face.
Karsten loves to take pictures of himself with my camera. I have to delete a lot!!!
We blinged up Mikaela's mirror.
Awesome rainbow at the ranch.
Me with the Salt Lake Temple behind.
Mikaela and Karsten.
Mikaela thinks she can drive. :)
Another soccer tournament - we did a lot of that this summer!!
Mikaela and her friends at the Highland fling.
We took 2nd place again at the Adidas cup.
With Great uncle Howard on his 100th B-Day!
First Highlights for 7th grade.
Turned out cute!!
Karsten had a rough night and fell back to sleep again at 10:30 in the morning. I had to capture his perfect pose.
And he is obsessed with football and having a football party - so I couldn't resist getting this outfit.
Lastly I to end the summer some R&R with my friends from high school. I am so glad we have all stayed friends - love them!!
And yes I love this hat! I wore it all summer long!! :)
