Johnson & Johnson (& Johnson & Johnson....): What we did this summer...a little bit anyway

As promised, I finally am posting pictures of events that happend this summer. Here's what we did this summer:

May: We worked/went to school and waited for Eli. Finally he was born on 5/25.
June: We did not do much except sit around the house with a new baby, although we did go camping a few times.
July: We camped A LOT this month. We also hit the county fair, where Ella was tramatized by the sheep (you'll see the pics soon), and staged our own photo shoot.
August: We camped A LOT this month too. We celebrated our 7th anniversary with a nice date in Moberly so as to not disturb our camping weekend. School started back up.
September: Kristin and her family joined us for Labor Day at the campground. Other than that, baby showers and bridal showers are keeping us home this month.

Here are some pictures to illustrate these events:

Walking to the fair, full of excitement!

My thoughts: "Free rides? Yes! Ella will love this!"

Wait, she doesn't seem so sure about these rides....

Let's go on the hot air balloon ride!

This turned out to be a TERRIBLE idea! Ella cried during the whole ride and begged the attendant to let us off...he showed us no mercy.

How about we go look at the animals now? What could go wrong here?

This is the sheep that climbed up the fence and tried to nibble on Beckett's hair, then looked right and Ella and loudly said, "BAAAAAA!" sending sheer TERROR through my toddler's body.

"It's okay, it's okay....calm down. The sheep isn't trying to hurt you. Just saying 'hi!'"

Outside the barn, attempting to calm down after she has clearly been traumatized

Leaving the fair
HA! If only it could've been this easy! In reality, the trip back to the car was also full of tears, leaving Lindsay and me with two very tearful toddlers after a relatively rough afternoon.

Now moving on to the photoshoot:
