Two of a Kind

I love this picture of Jennah and her Grandma Janet. They are quite a pair and I can't believe how much they look alike.

Jack is the one in yellow. To hear them you may have to go down and mute the Josh Groban song. I would take it off but can't figure out how. Now that I know how to do this next time I will record an entire song. Enjoy!

Everything in our yard is in full bloom. We can't take credit for planting this beautiful rose bush Lita did that, but we have nurtured it all year long. I think it was about two feet tall when we moved here right at a year ago and now look at it. We have so much more this year than last year. The late freeze we had last spring must have killed a lot of the plants before they could bloom. This year we planted several different things thinking it was an empty space in the flower beds then finding out two weeks later there were actually things growing in that area just not out yet. So we have flowers, bushes, and trees everywhere. Jonathan and I go out about every evening after the kids are settled in and walk around together and look at everything. I told him last night we are going to have our hands full this summer trying to keep everything trimmed back like it should be.

Jack had his 2nd grade musical yesterday. They do it different here in Jenks. They just had his class by themselves. All the other school plays I have been to it was the entire grade. This was much nicer. We got to sit where we could see and hear everything. It was so cute. I kept laughing because he looked so much like Jonathan. I could just see Jonathan being just like Jack when he was in school. I told Jon that after we left and he said his mom kept saying the same thing through out the musical. I can't wait to see Jennah in these musicals. That is definitely more her thing.

Friday night was SpiritBank night at the Driller's game. We found out when we got there from the public relations lady that they had tried to find Jonathan that morning to ask him if he would throw the opening pitch of the game. Jonathan was out of the office at a meeting all morning so he missed her. So no one threw the first pitch. Jonathan was upset he missed the opportunity to do that. The kids would have loved it. Oh well, there's always next year.

We ended up staying through the fourth inning. Jonathan had told the kids they could get a snack of their choice after the seventh inning. They asked about every two minutes if it was time.

First Fishin' Trip

We went to the lake for the first time of the season Saturday afternoon with the Antrikin family. It was a wonderful kick off to the summer season. It was a little chilly but the fish were really biting. Jacksen and Jennah really did well casting and seemed to enjoy fishing much more this year. Joel didn't know what to think about the fish. This picture of Jonathan I just thought was funny. He looks pretty proud of that little perch. Of the eleven fish caught (five by Jonathan if you can even count the little perch) it was the only one too small to keep. We are all so excited about the next few months.

Jonathan's 30th

Jonathan turned the big 30 on April 19th. We had planned on having his party at our house hoping the living room would be finished. It didn't happen so Jonathan's loving Grandparents offered to have the party at their house. It turned out wonderful. We had a BYOM (bring your own meat) party. We provided all the appetizers and side dishes and everyone else brought what ever type of meat they wanted and Jonathan and a few of the guys cooked everything on the grills. Everything was wonderful and the kids were great! Papa David and Nana Ila rented a jupiter jump for all the kids to play in. They all loved it! I must say between Ila and me we can throw a great party! Thanks again David and Ila for letting us use your house! Thank you also to everyone who came.
