Our Favorite Sport!
McKena's collarbone is healed...so she hit the t-ball field...for the first time this season...she was ready with her pink mitt, pink bat, #13 jersey(!), hat, helmet, and the proper instruction from grandpa last night! And the game ended with snacks! What could be better?
Happy Father's Day!
We tried to get the whole fam together for Father's Day, but negotiations broke down...no, Dallin was sick and Eden and her family celebrated with Dan's family. It was still fun...Christa showed us the beautiful book she had made for Jay, commemorating their fabulous cruise...we had a delicious dinner, then went to see Legacy...a new concept "fitness academy/housing development" that Jay is involved with. That doesn't really describe it...it involves Jack Nicklaus golf course, Jim Courier tennis center, Mia Hamm-Brandi Chastain-Julie Foudy soccer center, Mark Spitz swimming center and Duke Speed center. Jay had the opportunity to "train" Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain on Saturday, which was a unique experience for him! (He was asking himself what in the world could he teach the best female soccer players ever to play the game?) We toured the model homes in the development-fantastic! Oh, and Dad/Grandpa/Reed had a nice day!! The Primary handed out cans of Dad's rootbeer with a tag that read,"The world's best POP!" He received many new books to read...hurray for Glenn Beck, Clive Cussler, and baseball brainteasers!

My Favorite Color Is...
It was time for a new paint job on the old homestead, so off I went to the paint department of the local home center to pick colors...the last two times we painted, we chose tan and blue (adobe beige looked pink to some!), then darker tan, brown and blue. I came home with another variation on the theme and thought it was settled...time passed, the weather didn't cooperate for painting, and I changed my mind. We're GOING GREEN! TaDa!

35? No Way!!
Yep, Jay is 35...We gathered on June 6 to celebrate the big day. We ended up around the dining room table, reciting snippets of dialogue from favorite movies and comedians...laughing like crazy...having a fun time. The birthday cake of choice for EVERY man in the family is German Chocolate...I made confetti cupcakes for the kiddos in case they didn't want G.C. Of course, I had to give them each a candle to blow out too!

Happy Anniversary to Us!
So, June 1 is our 38th anniversary. We decided to go out for a nice dinner last night. Jay and Christa recommended Carrabba's...their favorite. "Try the pollo rosamaria," said Jay..."Are there beef dishes? Dad NEVER orders chicken in a restaurant," I replied. Well, my husband humored me...no steakhouse for the anniversary...he even asked for a romantic table for two! And dinner was fantastic! delicious! After dinner, we joined friends at the movie theater to see the new Indiana Jones feature. It was enjoyable...I didn't even murmur while watching, ha!
