Summer Vacation

June? July? Oh yeah, they happened and were fun months. Apparently, so fun that I didn't leave myself time to blog. Here I go.

We have been spending lots of time outside going to splash pads, pools and parks. We went to a park that has faucets and dirt (naturally=mud) which was fun. Carson thought the cleaning faucet was a drinking fountain:

Our trip out west started in late June. We started by spending some time in South Jordan with my family. We went to the zoo and Carson loved it! We took him to the zoo last summer, but he didn't know the animal names and sounds yet which made this time more fun.

Oh and this happened:

We went to Provo and met Carson's cousin Clara. We liked meeting his new cousin (Elaine) on my side too, but I guess he has so many cousins on that side that we stopped taking pictures. Since we came back to Nashville, two more cousins have been added (Eli and Adam) and we can't wait to meet them too!

          He loved holding her. He just looked at her, tickled her toes and waved 

      while he held her for ten minutes or more. It was adorable.

After a while in South Jordan, we headed to Colorado for Taylor's family reunion at ragged mountain. It was a blast. Carson LOVED being outside and throwing dirt around for a few days.

He loves swings.

After the reunion, we went back to South Jordan and went to my sister's wedding. I only have a couple pictures from that, and they are of Carson.

Then we just hung out for a few days, helped my parents load up their stuff to move to St. George, then came back to Nashville.

Here are a few more cute pictures of Carson in case you haven't seen enough:

He poured syrup on the table to dip his cereal in. Lovely.

This was a 6/9 month size outfit I never put him in when it fit. I put on him as a joke the other day, and had to take pictures when I saw how cute he looked. Taylor said he can't wear it in public...

Seriously. So cute.

Sorry about the crazy catch-up post again. Taylor said I don't have to put 400 pictures on one post, but I couldn't leave anything out.
