July was filled with lots of traveling and fun and so was August. We went to Oregon for Shawn's wedding. It was a lot of fun to be around the Pippin clan about 28 of us in the same house. It was a lot of fun and something we will never forget. We love being around the Pippin clan for there is never a dull moment, we would stay up at night and just laugh. Since Mike doesn't have really any vacation time, we were the last to arrive and we couldn't stay long. But we had fun while there, we went to Shawn's wedding, which was a very special time. We also hung out with David and Heather eating out at Chang's and picking blackberry's. Oh you should see Mike's face when he picks blackberry's. He is inside the deep bushes just getting scraped picking away. He loves Oregon for the blackberry's. We didn't drive this time, we decided to drive to Boise and then fly. To make the flight we had to leave at 4:30 in the morning and we didn't get much sleep in Oregon, so we came home really exhausted.

Isabel loved Oregon, she fell in love with the toy cars Grandma and Grandpa Pippin have for all of the grandsons. She would just play and play with the toys and her cousins would play with her. It didn't matter what Mom and Dad were doing, we could leave her with anyone and then come back for her and she could care less. She just loved playing with the toys and being around all the people.
