More of Mexico Boat ride to Isla de la Mujeres

Carlie loved this little guy

We went to this Island to shop, rent golf carts, and go to the beach. I didn't buy anything. Oh wait I did buy Carlie a back pack. It was a fun day and the girls had a great time.

Axmal was the greatest metropolitan and religious center in Puuc hills of Yucatan during the late Classical period  flourishing between the 7th and 10th centuries AD. Uxmal translates as "thrice built" and, whatever the actual number, the numerous building phases are reflected in variety of architectural styles. The city was abandoned in the 10 th century after apparently coming under Toltec influence. 
The pyramid of the Magician, at 100 feet the tallest structure in Uxmal, is more accurately named.

On June 11th Carlie Rylie and I went to Cuncun Mexico with Liahona. We went for a week. We had so much fun. We stayed in the Hilton on the beach. BEAUTIFUL! We had an amazing time. Racheal and Katelyn Williams went. The Williams were our next door neighbors for over 15 yr before we move to our new home.   We went with a lot of other great people. In the past when we have gone we did service in a Mayan Village. This time we just had fun. We went to a lot of ruins and some fun beaches. Pictures to come.

Norah's 1st birthday.

Don't you just love that face 
She loves corn on the cob
She LOVES the pool
She loves books
She got a baby doll. I don't think she knows what to do with it
But the slide was a big hit

We had a small party for Norah on Monday. We ate good food, swam and opened presents. Jessie is throwing a big party on Saturday. Granny is coming, and we are so excited. Happy birthday Norah!! We love you!

Rylie going to Girls Camp

Sister Nielsen and Rylie
Canyon View Stake Girls camp. 

Rylie left Monday for girls camp. I am so excited for her. They go to Heber Valley camp. It is beautiful. Beautiful cabins, refrigerators, stove tops. The girls love it. Our ward does an amazing job of making girls camp fun and spiritual. My girls have gained a greater love for their Savior and for his Gospel at girls camp.Thank you to all the YW leaders and the time you take to give to these Young Women!
