A New Baby and a Concert

Cara and Chris had their little baby Makenna on June 14th! She sure is cute. I am very happy for them, and now Claire can have a cousin friend. Makenna has a ton of dark hair. It is so darling. She has little flailing arms that are funny to watch, and I think her cry sounds like a mandrake from Harry Potter. It makes me laugh.

Here are Cara and Makenna. She is 13 days old now.

Claire got to come to the hospital to see her since it isn't cold season. Here she is with Rusty at the hospital.

On Saturday June 15th my dad, mom, Kristen, and I went to the Neal McCoy concert that was part of South Jordan Country Fest. I was surprised by how good of a show he put on. I am definitely a bigger fan now. I didn't know Neal was so funny. It was a very fun time!

Here are the 3 of us on Father's Day. Rusty is an awesome dad!

Claire turned 8 months on June 20th.

She started to take baths in the tub and loves it. She splashes around like crazy.

Claire actually really likes being on the grass and outside. This picture she looks a little frightened, but she loves to sit there and pick at the grass.

She looks a little happier here.

 Claire loves Keith, as you can see from them gazing at each other.

I am excited to say that yesterday my mom and I picked the first raspberries of the year in the garden. They were delicious!

Johnson Family Reunion

On Saturday June 1st we got to go up to Logan for the Johnson Family Reunion. The people there were kind of distant relatives. The reunion was for my Great Grandma Porter's siblings and families. My dad and Aunt Pat got to plan the reunion (that's the big reason why we attended this year). We had it at Willow Park in Logan, so we got to see the Burgers! Claire rode in a swing for the first time. She loved it and just about fell asleep because the swaying of the swing was so soothing.

We had so much tasty food!

My parents, Kristen, Claire, and me

It just so happened that the Farmers Market was moved to Willow Park the same day as the reunion. It was kind of crazy with all the people and cars everywhere. We decided to go check things out after we ate, but by then they were cleaning things up.

 Then we went to the Willow Park zoo.

 Claire was pooped and slept. It was really sunny so I put her jacket on her head.

The turtle was climbing up the fence.

The albino porcupine.

Claire woke up for some of the zoo.

 We were happy to see Janette. She came down from Ashton for the reunion.

 This duck had precious little babies.

It was a fun time! I'm glad we were able to go up to the reunion.
