Happy Birthday Jason!!

Happy Birthday to Jason today!!!!  I'll try not to get too mushy here but I'm so, so, so blessed to have such an amazing husband.  Jason truly is the greatest guy... as I've mentioned before with Jason what you see is what you get he really is just an all around great guy.  Last night I threw him a birthday/we're moving away BBQ at my aunt and uncle's (Trudy and Lex) and so many people came which I felt was really telling to how great he is.  After all of the friend's had left the family went around and said some really nice things about Jason... almost everyone said he is fun, determined, goal-oriented, kind, and a great guy.  He is also an amazing father.  He is so cute with Jack and he just loves him so much.  As we embark on this new adventure of moving away I'm just so grateful that I am going with someone I love so much.   Thanks so much Trudy and Lex for allowing us to use your home and thanks to  everyone for coming to support he and I last night.  It meant a lot to us.  Happy Birthday BABE! 

Girl's Night Out!!

My cousin, Jess, arranged a Girl's Night Out for me and all of my cousin's and Aunts as a sort of "Farewell" to me on Friday night (there were 12 of us)!  We seriously had a BLAST!!!!  We went to Park City-- ate at Baja Cantina, stayed the night at Silver King Lodge, played games, swam, ate a lot of yummy junk food, and pulled an all-nighter...I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  There were three big beds plus a couch bed but most of us just ended up on all of the blow up mattresses in the living room. The hubbies stayed home with the kids and gave all the mom's a night off.  I was thinking how rare it is to have so much family that you actually choose to spend time with :).  Thanks everyone for coming it was so much fun.

Happy 4th of July!

It's late but Happy 4th!!  We went up to my Grandparents property in Idaho to celebrate the 4th.  I have such great memories of that place growing up and so it was fun to take Jack there.  He and Braxton are so funny together.... Brax is the happiest little boy and he just smiles and smiles at Jack and looks like he just wants to say, "Please play with me!!".  Jack, on the other hand, is still really happy but sort of aloof... like he could take it or leave it.  Sorry Brax, one day soon he'll be begging me to play with you.  Also, there is a video of Elle doing this elephant sound to Jack that made him laugh the hardest I've ever seen him laugh.  He would laugh so hard he'd fall over.  It was so funny.  She really gets the babies smiling!  

I want to mention how grateful I am to live in this country and for all of the freedoms we enjoy.  We are so blessed.  Thanks to all of those past and present who make so many sacrifices to keep that freedom going.  

Jack's first camping trip! (well sleeping in a trailer... that's my king of camping).

It was so fun having my cousin McKenna here from Cali.  Yummy s'mores!

I treasure this picture... this is Jack's great-Grandma.  He really loved her.  He'd reach out to her and he doesn't really do that!! :)

Jack and Brax... waiting for the fireworks to start.

Happy 4th!  Our little family watching the "parade" ;)
