Olson Family Reunion in Tahoe!

Erik's family had their second annual family reunion in Tahoe, and his family from Chicago and Arizona all came to visit! We had so much fun on the lake and hanging out in the cabin!

 

The weather was great and the water was warmer than our ocean water! I think Ford will be able to wear that swimsuit next year too :)

 

Ford with Grandma and Papa!

 

Ford and his cousin Linnea

 

While we were there Ford had his second 2nd birthday with all the Olson side of the family!

 

He was so sweet no matter what he opened he got excited and yelled "yay!". Even for the clothes!!

 

Doing some early morning exploring with Papa!

 

He was such a stinker in this picture with his Great Grandma June! He wouldn't sit still so this is the best one I got!

 

He of course got some new trucks and played with them the whole time!

 

Erik took him out on the jet ski and he loved it! He is so brave!

 

There were lots more family members in Tahoe, but I wasn't very good at taking pictures this year, but I will do better next! Here is Ford with 3 generations of Olson's!!

Fun with the Hodges and Murphy girls!

One of my best friends Ashley and her 3 girls Conlee, Reece and Molly where all in Carmel visiting from Houston! We meet them a the aquarium in Monterey and had so much fun!

 

 

Ford in the "Wave Room" and not too sure about it!

 

Checking out the penguins!

 

View of the Monterey Bay! So pretty!

 

I love this one! I am pretty sure Conlee is looking through the wrong end, but she didn't seem to mind!

 

Sweet Sisters!

 

And even sweet enough to make room for Ford!

 

Serious Ford

 

 Cheesy smile Ford

 

And full of giggles Ford

 

Sweet Molly sat in the stroller and didn't make a peep!

 

That next week Ali and her 2 girls, Mia and Ellie, joined the Hodges in Carmel and made a trip up to see us! This was our attempt to get 6 kids smiling and sitting still!

 

Ellie is off!!!

 

And Mia is up! I think Ford must be thinking "do I smell bad or something??"

 

Aaaand Ford's outta there! The Hodges girls win for the best posing!

Fun Memories with the Negard girls!

Ford LOVES Annike and Sommer and affectionately calls them "Anka" and "Sue-Shwee". He asks about them all the time and at night when we say prayers we ask him who he wants to pray for, and he almost always says "Anka and Sue-Shwee"! So sweet makes this mama's heart melt!

 

Ford loves to ride on the tractor when we go to their house, and Sommer was sweet enough to share the seat with Ford!

 

Rub-a-dub-dub 3 blondies in a tub!
