Olson Family Reunion

We had a family reunion this past week with Matt's Mom's side of the family. We had a picnic lunch at a park in Payson and then those who wanted to went up to camp at Payson Lakes for a few days. We didn't camp (I think they would have kicked us out of the campground for McKay's crying at night) but we did go up and visit one night. It is so pretty and relaxing to get away and enjoy the mountains. We live in a beautiful area!

Daddy & McKay at Payson Lakes


Our little family


McKay loves my Grandma Harding. We went and visited them last Sunday and he was all smiles and laughs for his Great-Grandma.


Matt, his brother, and dad at the family reunion.


I got my hair cut last week and this is me with straight hair. No worries, it is curly again now.

Crib

It is officially time to move McKay out of his cradle- since he spent so much time in it. Matt spent the night putting together McKay's new crib and then we had to rearrange the room so we could squish everything in. McKay loved his new crib. He slept 4 straight hours in his own bed in his own room! What a miracle- prayers are answered!



What do I do with all this room?


McKay is really into eating his fingers nowdays. Occasionally he will suck his thumb, but mostly he just wants to put both his fists in his mouth- at the same time.


Almost rolling...


He loves his tummy. He looks straight ahead and tries to crawl but doesn't have near the strength.


Katelyn watch out! Matt is trying to rival your flower picture taking. I have successfully rubbed off on him!

Picture Time

We went to get McKay's picture taken last week and he did so great! He just smiled and loved all the attention until the end, as you can see. When he was done, he let us know. We got some really cute pictures with all his baseball gear. Sorry they are small- I can't enlarge them without making them blurry. McKay is three months old now and is growing up. He just wants to talk and smile at anyone who gives him attention. He is trying so hard to roll over. Matt saw him roll yesterday, but I haven't seen it yet...any day now.

Vacation!

We were able to sneak away this past week and enjoy a relaxing summer vacation. My grandparents have a cabin just outside West Yellowstone they let us stay in for a few days. We spent a few days with my parents and sisters and then had a couple days to ourselves. It was so nice to get away from home and spend time together. We went to Yellowstone one day, West Yellowstone one day, Matt went golfing, and we just relaxed. We all really enjoyed the trip except with all the traveling, I don't know if we'll ever get McKay back into his carseat ever again! He has had enough of the car for a long time I am afraid! Here are some pictures of our adventures.

Daddy and McKay in their Sunday Best. McKay was smiling all cute until I tried to take a picture...


McKay was all smiles at Old Faithful- he was happy to be out of his carseat.






More pictures at Yellowstone...




These Falls were so pretty!


Matt went golfing one morning while McKay and I slept in. We met him at the last hole and took pictures and watched him hit a bit- he had a really good game especially for not playing for a year.


There were the prettiest sunsets every night. We enjoyed just sitting and watching them every night. Too bad vacations have to end.
