For the Family Journal...

We don't want history to slip away, so here are some other updates for our "family journal."

• Jon and Christy celebrated our SEVENTH anniversary! We are best friends and love each other so much!
• The anniversary, in and of itself, was a milestone. But the (possibly) bigger milestone was leaving Tommy and Joey overnight with their grandparents for the first time, while we enjoyed 24 hours of freedom at the Waterpark of America hotel and indoor water park. It was very fun for everyone!
• Joey learned to walk and got his first haircut, so he's officially a big boy now. He also learned to push the handicap button on public doors, so get ready world, here he comes.
• We got our first gas grill and patio dining set, and have already entertained friends with them three times, the most recent being our Ward Choir Party, which was really fun. (It was Jon's first time doing "mass grilling" and he did great.) All BYU fans who read this blog, the fun will really begin in a couple of weeks!

What's Out of Place in This Picture?

Answer: Instead of ice, there is a pancake in the cup.

And this baby was the culprit. Tommy thought it was so hillarious when Joey tried to "drink" his pancake, that he had to do it to--amidst uproarious laughter.

Answer: A baby is driving the car!

And the culprit this time was the boy on the left! He carefully led Joey into the garage, opened the car door, and let Joey do the rest. Drivers Ed 101. Maybe Tommy's old enough to babysit too.

Answer: That's a very smudgy toenail polishing job.

But then again, it was done by a three year old. With a permanent market. On our white carpet. Without a trace of the marker on the carpet...I would say it was the work of a master!
