The works...

So much has happened these past 2 weeks:

-Kaden turned 8 months
-Father's Day
-Lanenga gathering in Southern California
-Jagoda gathering in Yosemite
Kaden is now 8 months! He is just fun to watch. He now has 2 teeth, and there is no way I can get a picture--for some reason he doesn't like when I pull back his lip to see his 2 bottom teeth. He cruises along our furniture, talks up a storm, loves to play the piano by reaching up on his toes, and has stolen our hearts! We love you Kaden!

Our 8 month old!

Our little hunky cruiser!
Such a cute little ham!

Father's Day! Matt is such a great dad. Kaden gets SO excited when he walks through the door--he flails his arms and legs and just wants to see his dad. Matt works so hard to provide for us in every way. We celebrated Father's Day early before we left, and then again on actual Father's Day. We love you! Thanks for all you do!

Matt's family gathered at his cousins in Southern California. It was fun for everyone to meet Kaden, especially his cousins, Graysen and Carter. He loved to watch them, and they had fun with him, too. We had a 'pick your father's nose' game, courtesy of Matt's mom, as well as a dad hair braiding contest--Matt will have to practice. We went to the beach, had family pics, played games, and had so much fun! Thanks everyone--Mom and Dad, Schoessows for housing!

The backside...

My family gathered at Yosemite this year. It was the first time our entire family has been together for 3 or so years. It was fabulous! Matt had never been to Yosemite and loved it. We hiked, biked, fished, kayaked, white water rafting, ate well, and just about everything! Can't wait to do it again!

White Water Rafting was just about the coolest thing I've ever done. There were 13 of us in 2 boats, and we even had to rescue people who had crashed! Adrenaline!!!

Matt and Wilson as our captains!

Katie got some air--and made some of the funniest faces!

Kaden loved riding in the bike trailer with grandpa

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet, but I am SO jealous you were in Yosemite!

I think you forgot to add how talkative Kaden is now. I thank him for all his entertainment during sacrament meeting.
