The summer

This summer has been fun and relaxing. We have been able to see friends, family, and distant relatives. Of course, this meant a lot of traveling was involved as well. But we survived! Good thing our car is comfortable!! :)

We started out the summer with the Iwanski/Kaputska family reunion in Elyria, NE. Always a good time! This year we rocked it out Elyria style, and in our Grease attire (thanks to Mandy!). It was great to see family we hadn't gotten to see in YEARS! Grandma took it upon herself (it was tough to convince her!) to watch Brenden while John and I went on the canoe trip. It was definately an adventure with John, Shila, and Alisha in one canoe. The highlight was the three of us chasing our things down the river, while trying to turn the canoe right-side up! :)

This was the first year Brenden got to meet all of the relatives. I really think he fit in perfectly! ;)

































The next adventure was to travel to Winter Park, CO. There, we met up with John's side of the family to take part in the Jessen Family Reunion. It was great to see this side of the family, too. Brenden had a lot of fun getting to know his cousins Carson and Liam. Carson and Brenden are definately a pair of trouble makers! :) They especially had a lot of fun with a rock that they found. Oh, to be young again! ;)


















And all this fun, only took place in May and June!!

more to come....
