Happy 29th Jon





(Later that night: Eating leftover Father’s Day ice cream cake and lounging on the “new” loveseat.)

After a crazy long work week Jon drove down to St. George with his Dad to pick the children and I up from my parents house (visiting/helping out for several days), and also pick up our new to us couches.

Not the most fun way to spend his birthday. Forking over a chunk of change and then having to do all the work getting them home.

But my Mom did insist on having a mini super fast “party” for her favorite child. She had my Dad and I throw a birthday meal together, then she and Dad ran out to get Jon a birthday pie (Croshaw’s Apple). She couldn’t not celebrate (he’s really really the favorite). She even got him a balloon (mostly for the children). We ate, sang, Jon and the children blew out candles, then we left to get the couches.

Although it was a ton of work (took a couple hours to clean it up nice AFTER getting them home) Jon was very happy to be able to sit on something that wasn’t literally falling apart on his birthday.

So HAPPY HAPPY BIRHTDAY JON!!!! We LOVE you more than we can say.

MUAH!

Father’s Day

After dinner of pizza chili (SO yum-o), I pulled out Jon’s dessert (Regan got his special ice cream) and gift. I highly recommend the pizza chili Regan all but inhaled the stuff (look at his face)!

Thank you Jon for being the BEST. DAD. EVER!!!!

Happy Father’s day to mine and Jon’s Dad we love you both to pieces!!!

And happy Father’s Day to all our Grandpas, Uncles, and brother’s (that have kids).

gone fishen’

Friday and Saturday afternoon we went up to Yankee Meadow to do some fishin’. Jon’s parents were camping up there for the weekend, but since it’s only 30 min from our house we decided to sleep in our own beds at night. It was such a perfect weekend. We caught lots of fish, and had SO much fun.



Kaylee was scared of the fish after hearing one gasp for breath. She had been SO excited about the whole thing. She was talking ALL week about how we were going to go fishen’ and then eat the fish.

Jon insisted that I hold up the fish (not a one was mine.). Regan thought the fish were cool.

Jon caught 5 fish our first night. 2 off my pole (to prove that my new pole wasn’t my issue).

Saturday we took the children out on the boat (first time ever) and had fun “fishen” with them. Regan lasted about an hour before declaring (by screaming bloodily murder) that he was done. Kaylee later went out with the boys for a couple hours, but sadly didn’t catch anything.

Thanks to Mom (who we failed to get a photo of) I was able to get tons of fishin’ time in without children trying to “help”, or throw themselves overboard. We also got to see Jon’s uncles (who the children and we love) when they came up to fish. I can’t wait to hit up the lake again and catch “the one that got away” (2 really, but who’s counting?).
