Weekend fun with the Nielsens

Jake's parents got him a tool chest for his graduation present. Jake loves taking good care of his tools so this is perfect for him! I don't think any chainsaws will fit in there thankfully!

I got Jake a humidifier (that's right, a humidifier) for his present. Sounds lame, I know, but since I've been married to Jake I've come to learn that the more practical a gift I give him, the more he'll like it. Our old humidifier was a cheap one and it stopped working about a month ago so I thought a nice humidifier would be the perfect gift.


Jake's mom got this graduation pinata about 7 years ago and Jake took it from her and has had it ever since. He's been waiting to graduate from college to fill it up and bust it open. Here's a picture of Dylan taking a swing at it.


Braxton taking a whack at the poor pinata

Jake's mom made him this awesome scrapbook from his first day of school to his graduation day. It is so cute! I wish I was as talented and creative as she is.

This is a video of Jake trying to hit the pinata. Our brother-in-law James was such a good pinata-holder that Jake had a hard time finding it.

It was fun seeing you last Saturday in Logan. I'm glad Scoot and Jake graduated in the same ceremony. Nice gift for graduation. You can always use a nice humidifier :) We need to hang out sometime and go to lunch or something!

I really like that tool chest, I wish we could get one for Ryan, then maybe our garage wouldn't be such a disaster! It was great to talk to you guys last sunday, it felt like it had been a while!
