tell me how you really feel

This summer has been quite the busy one for the Shiner fam; especially, it seems, these last two weeks. We have been running around like crazy completing house to-do's and the like, then we went "camping" at Shaver (we thought we were staying at a friends cabin, which in fact turned out to be this gorgeous house in Shaver...no complaints here....). Then my sister came in town, so we basically have been living at my mom's house these last few days in order to maximize our time with Kay and her family. Today must have been the straw that broke the camels back. Evie, Jaxon and I woke up sick, Jaxon had to have shots at the doctor's office, and we basically spent all day in the car taking kids here, shopping with Kay there and mostly taking Jack to and from doctor appointments to try to get everything finalized for his job. Any-who, when we got Jaxon out of the car at the end of the day after a 30 minute screaming fit this is what he looked like...

Summer Shot's

Well, we have had a very busy summer thus far, complete with two camping trips, a trip to Moro Bay and a trip to San Francisco. And, yes, we are somewhat crazy for traveling with a three month old; but Jaxon has been a champ about it. Here are some of our favorite shots.

Jaxon's Blessing

On July 5th we had Jaxon's baby blessing. My sister and her husband came up from Huntington Beach, and Grandma Shiner was in town from Idaho for the occasion; It was a fabulous day. Unfortunatly we didn't get any family photos :( (my fault, I fell asleep at my parents for like 3 hours!), but we did get some cute ones of the baby boy, so here they are. He is so handsome!!! I am in love :)





Here is one of the cuz's

Max's Blessing

Last weekend we went down to HB for my nephew Max's blessing. It was so good to see him for the first time (he is so cute!!!! We also had a blast watching Evie and Reese play together; Evelyn just loves baby Reese. Thanks Matt and kay for letting us come down. Here are some pics from the weekend.
