John and Sarah: No Time!!! July-ish

Seriously though, so much has happened since my last post and I feel like there is not enough time to adequately put to words all our experiences, but I will regret if there is nothing, so here goes nothing!

For father's day we gave John socks chocolate chip cookies, and some of his favorite treats. We are very grateful for him, and he has been working so hard in his new position as a nurse.

The 4th of July we went to a neighborhood breakfast with my parents and then had a Bbq over at the Southwick's. It was nice that John had work off! We traveled a lot during the month of July, enjoying a trip up to Idaho for John's cousin, Michael's wedding, a trip to Boise for the Southwick family reunion, promptly followed by a trip to park city for DuPaix family reunion! The kids were great in the car and we only had one malfunction when the car overheated in Twin Falls. Luckily we were in the city when it happened!! We also successfully kept Calvin a secret from John's brother Kyle who was serving a mission in Hawaii. Kyle found out he was an Uncle again when we picked him up at the airport in Boise! John asked him if he could name all the grand-kids and was holding Calvin at the time. So naturally Kyle looked and pointed at Calvin and said "Jenny's son" to which John pointed over to the correct child and said, "no that's Jenny's son." Kyle then had a good long stare at Calvin and said "Who's this?" To which John said, "This is my baby, Calvin!" And Kyle said, "You had a baby?!?" It was pretty funny to watch, but I'm not sure how funny Kyle thought it was ;) Deja's favorite part of the trip was probably playing with cousins non stop, fun kids crafts, and the bounce houses. I was also able to sneak away to see our good friends Skye and Michelle perform as the leads in the Scarlet Pimpernel. They were both phenomenal :)

John and Brian singing "I'm not crying" for the talent show!

In between our reunions we had a fun Hawaiian themed party for Kyle and blessed Calvin on Pioneer Day. It was a nice day were everyone finally heard Calvin's secret middle name, "Henry." Wayne was nice enough to let us host a luncheon in his back yard afterwards and it was perfect :)

Park city we enjoyed shopping, swimming, playing games, yummy food and spending more time with cousins! Besides all of those things, Deja's favorite part was the Arcade haha. Our least favorite part of the trip was when Deja and I got a bad stomach bug :( trying to teach her how to throw up and not swallow anything back down was so hard emotionally to deal with. I'm so grateful John was there to help us. Because of our sickness, the kids and I were only able to make it to Kyle's talk and didn't make it over to the house afterwards.
