What a summer!!!

So, it's been a busy summer!!! These are just a few pictures from our various family reunions. We started in Inkom with the McNabb's (where Cardon was blessed), up to Island Park for the Olson's, and then a couple weeks later we got to go to Washington for all the Jones'. We had a fantastic time on all our trips and we just can't believe we really got to see everyone! Scroll below for a few shots from the last couple months. I'll do a separate post with just Cardon photos, since I know that's all everyone's interested in anymore!
The day Cardon was blessed.
My favorite picture from his blessing. He is so beautiful!!
At the McNabb farm
The Darold Olson Clan
On to Yellowstone, where there was a marshmallow war,
some shooting,
some more shooting (I hit my clay pigeon on the first try!),
and more shooting,
beautiful vistas,
moose (the animals in the back, not Justin and Camden!),
and Old Faithful.


Then it was off to Washington. Mom managed to get the whole family together for 24 hours, but it was totally worth it!!!!
We hit the Kite Festival in Long Beach,

an old school merry-go-round in Astoria (AKA-a death trap),


and the Pacific Ocean.

It took Ellie the entire trip to warm up to Cardon, but when she did, it was adorable!

The Doug Jones Clan

Us at Lake Sacajawea

Then it was to Cincinnati for Labor Day. Normally we would have done a Red's game, the riverfront fireworks, and some shopping but we were so tired from all our trips, we only had the energy to take pictures of Cardon in his Red's outfit!

With the cap (and checking out his hand, Cardon's favorite past time)

Without the hat, but with a smile!!!

So, that's been our whirlwind of a summer!!! Stay tuned for more candid shots of Cardon!! We love you all!!
