Family Reunion and 9 month pictures of Graham

The first day in Utah, we went camping with my family and rode my grandpa's four-wheelers. Aunt Morgan loved taking him out and Graham never wanted to get off.

After one very long ride, Morgan came driving up with a very tired baby that had fallen asleep while riding.
His shirt couldn't have been more perfect in this moment. We took him off the four-wheeler, still sound asleep, and he had the best nap of his life.

On Labor Day, we flew out to Idaho Falls for the Jacob Family Reunion! We stayed in a big lodge with lots of play room for the kids and relaxing space for the adults. We got to meet new nieces and nephews and laugh as all the Jacob kids shared their inside jokes and played all of the classic Jacob games.
Uncle Matt quickly became Graham's favorite uncle. Not only did he pick us up from the airport and drive us back and forth, he was constantly playing with Graham and helping him out. We love Uncle Matt!!!
Graham got to practice his crawling (still army crawl) and his creeping along the edge of the couch. He loved all of the kids to play with and all of the attention he received from the aunts and uncles.

We spent a day in Yellowstone where Eric got to see Old Faithful for the first time. We got ice cream and drove around looking at the animals and hot springs with Eric's sister Tris and her family. We loved Yellowstone and the beauty it holds.


Graham LOVES riding in the stroller...Dave, Tris and their family
After many tries to get a Jacob family photo, we finally managed to pull this one off. We're amazed at how many people were actually looking and smiling. Not bad for Eric setting it up on a chair (because he forgot his tripod), running to his spot and getting everyone to look, all in the 12 seconds until the camera went off. (Not everyone is in the photo. We were missing a few babies and Cory's family)

We flew back to Utah after a week in St. Anthony, Idaho and spent some more time with my family. Eric had to fly home early for work and Graham and I stayed to visit with old friends and make some new blankets that are bigger for him.

When we finally did fly home, we suffered a huge family sickness. Eric got hit the worst, having to come home from work early with fevers, cough, runny nose and headache's. Graham had the runny nose and has been teething and I held out the longest to take care of them and then got hit with all of it. We are finally over it and are thankful it didn't last long.

Now life is back to normal, work is going well for Eric, another new quarter of school has started and Graham is still working on getting those teeth in. We had fun on our vacation but love the time when we get to come home.
