Keven Naylor Family Reunion

Our Keven Naylor Family Reunion this year was down in Crescent City, CA at Emily and Jeremiah's place.  Emily was in charge of putting it together.  Mom, Dad, Lisa and her family, Brian and his family and us stayed at a hotel.  Lori and Darin weren't able to make it and we really missed them.  We were all super excited to go and be gone for a week.  We all look forward to vacation and we knew we had a lot of things planned.  Emily had a full agenda planned.  We had lots of outdoor hikes and activities to do.

On our way!  We drove straight down in one day.  It was a long trip, but the kids did great.  Even Jocelyn did really well.

Monday evening we had dinner at the firehouse.  It had a large room that accommodated everyone with a big kitchen to be able to get the things made we needed to do.  This was also Jon's birthday so we celebrated after dinner with ice cream sundaes.

On Tuesday we went to Fern Canyon.  It was so pretty.  I guess some portion of Jurassic Park was filmed there.

After a picnic lunch we stopped at Big Tree.

Then we headed straight to the Trees of Mystery.

The boys really loved this.  Jocelyn wasn't too thrilled with the pack, but she did pretty well.

Jocelyn needed her diaper changed, so my mom just sat Jocelyn on her lap and changed her diaper.  This is an experienced mom.

We went up the sky rail.  That was a lot of fun. It amazes me how big the trees in the Redwoods are.

These trees are called the Cathedral trees.  People have weddings here.

I don't have many pictures with the kids, because they kept running ahead and not staying with us.

After the Trees of Mysteries, we headed back to Crescent City where we had dinner at the Firehouse.  The night before we had to leave early because of tired kids and Jeremiah had given everyone else a tour of the firehouse then.  So we stayed behind this night and had a tour.  The kids loved seeing the fire engines and loved getting to get up in the driver's seat.

They looked so cute trying on the coats and helmet.

Mirror Discovery

Jocelyn has discovered the mirror!  The mother's room at church has a mirror right next to the changing table.  After changing Jocelyn's diaper, she started looking at herself in the mirror and kissing herself.  It was the cutest thing ever!!  I had to grab the camera and capture it.

10 Months!

Jocelyn is 10 months!! She has the best laugh and her brothers can get it out of her the best. She is still tiny. 16.5 pounds and only 26” long. She is still wearing 6-9 month clothes. She has 2 teeth and looks to be cutting another one. She has successfully transitioned into her own room and continues to sleep thru the night. She loves seeing mommy when I get home from work. I just love this little girl.  It was so hard to get a picture without her messing with the sticker.

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July in Grandview again this year.  It is so easy to drive down and the kids love the pool.  We all have a good time.  This year my mom did a cute them for all the food.

This year we planted more things in our garden and it is looking so good.  It is nice to be able to work more in it this year.  It is fun to see it growing so much.  Some things didn't yield as much fruit, and some didn't make it, but it is so much better than last year.
