On Saturday we had a very nice dinner out to celebrate my Mom's Birthday. It was fun spending time together the eight (kind of 9) of us, not even sure when the last time we were able to do that was!!! The wait for food ended up being forever long, but the kids behaved themselves quite well. Reed didn't even get out of his high chair until the very end and that was because Grandma wanted some snuggles. I told him over and over again on the way home how proud I was of him and how well he'd done. After dinner was over the Kiddos were more than happy to run around the parking lot and Grandma snapped this cute pic of us practicing to be a family of four with Annaliese.
Sunday was Father's Day and we hosted a barbecue for both sides of our family. This is where the camera fail really comes into play - I didn't even get a single picture of Jon and Reed together, let alone Kyle, Kari, or close-ups of really anyone besides Reed, a lucky shot I got of him with Great Grandma Didi and Great Papa Dean, and a picture my Mom took of me and Annaliese!!! There were 18 of us total, most of whom are in the picture below, so Jon really did overtime cooking for everyone on what should be a day of relaxing for him!!! It really was a great afternoon/evening and I think I was just too busy enjoying my time with everyone and handling hostess duties to remember to take pictures of everything.
Just so I'm not the worst Mom ever, here is a picture of Jon and Reed that I just adore. I snapped it a few weeks back when we were all hanging out in the backyard. Reed and Jon have been getting to spend an evening each week together while I do prenatal yoga and it's so neat to hear Reed talk about all of the things he's going to do with Dad while I'm gone - I swear he hardly looks up when I walk out the door now. He is so lucky to have such a loving and fun Dad and I'm so lucky to have a supportive and loving husband!!!
