Family reunion

A couple weeks ago we took a trip to Jonathan's hometown. His two older brothers and their families came home too. We hadn't seen them in almost 3 years. It was a great time to have a little family reunion. We also met our nephew for the first time, Carson. And they all met Ava for the first time too.

Jonathan and his two brothers.
Here is a picture of Ava and her three cousins. (Carson didn't make the picture.)
Jonathan's brother Josh, his wife Holly, and the boys, Jordan, Jack and Elias.

Jonathan's other brother, Daniel, and his wife Ashley, and son Carson.

Me and my sweet sister-in-law Ashley.
Jonathan really missed his brothers, as you can see in the above picture!



All the grandkids with great- grandma Newell and great- grandma Densten. (Ava was already in her jammies and ready for bed. As you can tell, she's not too happy here.)

The next two pictures are of Ava and Carson(4months).
Ava is going for the paci...
...and takes it away from Carson. Sorry buddy!

And Lastly, the family photo - the Newell gang.

We had a great time seeing everyone. We miss you!!

Have some fun!

So I saw this on a blog that I like to read and had to share it with everyone. If you want to give yourself a laugh, go to this site and upload a picture of your head. It gave me a few laughs. (okay, maybe more than just a few laughs.) Have fun!

Here is a little preview of what you'll find:

1974 pics of me and Jonathan. (don't make too much fun of us...okay, you can make fun of Jonathan because it is a pretty funny picture!)

Here are a few pictures of Ava this past week:

Ava on her new cool riding toy!
She's already excited to start riding roller coasters with mommy and daddy!

Ava and I visited Grandma Joan for a few days!
While we were there, we were able to go swimming. (Ava's first time in a big pool.)
And Ava was excited to get back home to see her daddy again.
