Jerry Seinfeld

Mike and I had another fun weekend!  We went on a real date this weekend.  (Which means no kids and no friends tagging along - just us.)  We went to the Arts Festival, and then to see Jerry Seinfeld perform (that was Mike's Father's Day present.)  I wanted to take a picture, because we were on the first row of the balcony right next to the stage (amazing seats), but there were no cameras allowed, so here is a clip of the boys from last weekend.

More Festival Pictures



Royalty for a Day






We had a fun weekend!  Mike was the emcee for the South Jordan Country Fest again this year, and they asked us to be in the parade.  We got to ride in a '57 Chevy convertible.  Mike got to greet his fans, the kids got to throw candy, and I got to wrestle with Jack in the back seat since the car had no seat belts, and Jack thought it would be fun to try and climb out of the car.  We got to hear two concerts- Imagine (a Beatles tribute band) and Darryl Whorley (the country singer who wrote, "Have you Forgotten," about 9/11.)  Then there was a fireworks show in the evening. Dylan enjoyed the music so much he started strumming his stick horse, along with Darryl, rock-n-roll style.  (Or maybe it was more Nate Powers style.  Nate, did you teach him how to jam on the guitar when I was gone?)

The Terrible Two's have Arrived






Well, Nate I'm finally posting my first blog. Thanks for helping me set it up! Yesterday, was Jack's 2nd B-Day (yes, on Father's Day... poor kid.) I baked Mike's favorite chocolate cake from scratch, which basically means that the kitchen looked like a war zone, and Mama was cranky cuz she hates to cook. I added a picture of the 2 candle that was on Jack's cake, because if you observe closely you'll notice a bite mark on the top and a chunk taken off the side. Yes, Jack ate the candle while we weren't looking, because he thought it was a cookie. I swear that boy will eat anything! The other pictures are of Jack and his new motorized train. He had fun playing with Grandpa Headrick's trains last week in Ohio, so we used the money everyone sent him to buy him his own Thomas set. As you can see from the pictures he was thrilled. He started jumping up and down, and acting crazy. Which in hindsight, may have had more to do with the cake than the present, but he was really excited. We have to keep reminding Dylan that the train is Jack's, because he likes to be the boss (hmmm.... I wonder who he got that from?)
