Father's Day

Fact: I have the greatest dad in the world! He's such a great guy. He does everything he can to make our lives great. He's funny and always keeps us laughing. Not to mention, he's the man! We are so lucky to have him as our dad. I love him so much! I don't know what I would do without him. I had to go to a farewell the morning of Father's day but when I got back it was all about my dad! We spent the day on the golf course and making gourmet burgers! Here's some pictures of our family, Mike's family, and the the greatest dad in the world! I love you!






Memorial Day/Kylan's Birthday

For Memorial Day we went out to the cemetery to visit Grandma, Grandpa Lee, and Aunt Terry and to clean things up a little bit. But when we got there someone had already done it and placed flowers there. My dad called Debbie saying "Do you know who's messing with our parents' graves?" Haha leave it to my dad to always joke about something he probably shouldn't. Then we went and saw Terminator! It was so good! We all made burgers for Kylan's birthday and I offered to make him an Oliver birthday cake but he decided he wanted pie instead. It was delicious pie but very much went against Oliver tradition. Someone's gonna have to talk to that boy

Rain...Rain...Rain...

It has rained so much here lately! I don't even know what the deal is but it seemed for about two and half weeks straight it rained for a significant amount of time everyday. It was great at first but I really started to miss the sun haha. Here's our park which flooded one of the days!



Sorry Cindy....Here's a Post for You!!

Cindy, I must apologize. Life has been quite hectic. Since my last post I have started school at the U and may I say that if I could I would only take two classes at a time. It's relaxing and I am actually able to master the material rather than always scrambling to understand and then cramming for the test. But because I am suddenly so confident in my studies I know longer look to blog as a distraction from my work haha. But here it is, a post of our trip to St. George!! Hope you and enjoy and happy birthday again!!

So it should be no secret that we all love Brian Regan! He's pretty much the funniest guy ever! And he's family friendly so we can all enjoy him rather than the Dane Cook Josh listens too haha. When we found out in February that he was on tour we looked up dates and saw that he was coming to St. George over a weekend in May! My dad called up Cindy and Debbie and we started making plans. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, Debbie couldn't come because the girls had a horse show....It'll be awhile before I think I can forgive the Hoppers...sniff. But we had fun so no worries!

Right after school that Friday we got ready to go. Ken made it clear that he was expecting to see the boys so we loaded them up to and made our way down to St. George! On the drive we realized how long it had actually been since we'd been to see the Harneys and it bummed us out. It won't happen again Cindy! We have such a great time every time we come! And this time was no exceptionWe made it down safe and sound and got to catch up with one of my favorite aunts! And got to meet her new dog Roxy. The boys really liked having someone to play with for about five minutes and then they got annoyed by all the high energy haha. Then we went to see the Wolverine movie! Amazing! I loved it! It was such a great movie and all the good looking guys were a definite plus!
The next day, we were in St. George so of course we had to go bowling! We made a stop at Pizza Factory and then went bowling. Ethan and Connor came along! I love those boys they are so stinking cute and funny! Here are lots of pictures haha



Some lovely grandma grandson bonding






My dad's best score ever!!! He wouldn't shut up about it and probably won't ever again now that I've reminded him

Then we went to Samurai 21 (I think that's what it was called) and it was so good! Chris and Brittany made their big announcement that they're having baby #4! But Chris totally set it up so it sounded like a joke haha ("we may or may not be having a baby") so I guess we didn't really react the way he was hoping haha sorry Chris. Congratulations you guys! It really was exciting hearing something like that firsthand. I'm just going to go ahead and hope it's a boy this time because if it is a girl she'll be stinking spoiled...
Then it was off to the show! The Tuachan is such a beautiful outdoor amphitheater! That in itself was worth seeing. And Brian Regan and his opening act were great! The problem with Brian is his act is everything he does not just his jokes, but his voice, facial expressions, body, timing and so I pretty much died laughing but if I were to try and tell you any of the jokes it just wouldn't sound right. He's a comic genius!

It was such a fun trip! And we're never going that long without going to see you Harney's! Thanks for having us! Love you all!
