T - W - I - S - T - E - R

We went up to Snowflake this past weekend for Mother's Day. We had so much fun considering our grumpy child refused to sleep like he usually does. Anyway, first off I just want to tell all the mother's in my life how much I love you. Whether you are an aunt, cousin, grandma, in-law, or friend you are all such examples to me and I love each one of you so much!! I just want to tell my mom how much I love you!!! You are my definition of amazing!! You are so giving of your time and everything you have. You are such a great example to me and I am so thankful everyday that I was sent to you!! Love you mom!!!

Now for the fun stuff...All us kids were up in the game room Saturday afternoon participating in the annual Mario Kart Doubledash tournament (a staple at the Nielson home.) when I had a rare, but fun idea. We should play twister. Of course everyone was up for it so we did it. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. We had so much fun playing and trying to be the last one standing. Here are a couple pictures of the chaos.

Here is all five of us (Me, Aaron, Jens, Maddie, and Parker) crammed on that tiny mat.


Poor Parker!!


Maddie and Jens going head to head in the Semi-Finals.


Aaron and I going head to head. I must say Aaron and Maddie were the dirty players...they kept knocking everyone over!!


Grady James watching the madness and playing with Grandma's phone. Sweet Boy!!


It was a great weekend!!! Aaron was the big winner of the 1st Twister tournament. We all ended up with a few injuries, but it was still a blast!!! What can I say, we Nielson's know how to have fun!
