CONGRATULATIONS JOHN!

Today John was accepted into the Information Systems Major program in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University. Go John! I am so proud of you! John has put a great effort into his grades and his application. He is a loving and nurturing father to our son Thomas, and he also enjoys hiking, biking, singing, fixing things around the house and making movies. John I love you so much- you are the best husband ever.

Dan + Jana = Love

The next place our adventures took us was back to Jana's house, and we got to spend some time with Dan. He showed us his airplanes and fun man p rojects (which the guys enjoyed) and John got some stuff out of storage like his bow and arrow, his .22, and his bikes, which were also fun. Uncle Richard and Grandpa Harrison provided live enterta inment that rivaled the cousins (meaning that we had good conversations and laughed a lot). During the rest of the week we spent time with them and each of John's sisters. Sarah taught Grandpa how to play Sequence and MariAnn taught us to play Carcassonne. At Leah's we played outside with the kids, and John ran carrying Emily to avoid being tagged by Anthony, which was hilarious to watch. John and I couldn't believe how much the nieces and nephews have all grown, especially Nicholas and Vanessa, but we weren't surprised by their adorableness since we're getting used to hav ing the cutest nieces and nephews in the world ...

Father's Day

After the graduation, Thomas and I flew up to Northern California, and John picked us up on the airport. We had a lovely time with John's dad for the weekend, which was especially nice since it was Father's Day. Our favorite parts of the weekend were going to the Farmer's Market, riding the cable car in San Fransisco and playing water volleyball with Uncle Paul and his family, which was a little crazy, and I found that I'm not as good or as tall as I thought I was. :)

Karyann's Graduation

I was able to take Thomas to Southern California for Lou's graduation, which was a very fun trip, and my mom got us all interested in Gone With the Wind which we have now read. It's a deep thoughts type book. Thanks Mom! Karyann was one of the first few people to graduate due to the amazing brains she got between those ears of hers, and so between highest honors and the alphabet, she was ahead of a few hundred people with lesser brainpower. She made us all proud, and looked simply gorgeous as usual! Her party was nice because I threw it, although I hardly did anything, there was so much help. The trip was so fun. Karyann got all ready for college and they shipped her off, and now here she is wreaking havok in Utah, and doing a great job.
