Happy Father's Day Dad!

This is a picture of my dad and his sister. I LOVE it! Happy father's day, dad! Thanks for taking me on daddy-daughter dates even when I was reluctant to go play tennis, hit golf balls, or play softball (I'm really glad you took me and taught me to play anyway. I always thought you were super dad cause you could play and coach any sport). Thanks for teaching me to ski, buying me jelly shoes from Cloud Nine, and betting on who would see someone they knew first at the mall. Thanks for documenting my life on film and for the millions of emails I get weekly. I know I am not good at replying, but keep them coming because I love them. Most of all thanks for loving me and supporting me in everything I do! LOL... this time it means lots of love, not laugh out loud!

Ridiculously long post with ridiculous amounts of pictures :)

When JP and I were dating he decided he would do the "4 days of Beeta" for my birthday. He says that one day is not enough to celebrate. Now we kind of drag it out to 5,6,7 or more days of celebration for our birthdays. Surprisingly, we managed to squeeze all of our fun into one day for JPs birthday. We had a big, yummy breakfast, went on a long bike ride, had a picnic in the park with sushi for JP and classy cuisine for me, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of a perfect day, traded birthday smooches, played a little tennis, and had a barbecue with friends up the canyon. We had a fun day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JP! I'm so lucky to be married to my best friend! You make me happy everyday.











I got to babysit these darling monsters for 3 days! I would do it again in a heartbeat if Indie promised not to hate me the second her mom got back. I took a million pictures of all our adventures...the school carnival, dance festival, swimming, barbecues, the secret rock etc. Our days were jam-packed with lots of fun! One of my favorite moments was when I was changing Indie's diaper and made a face. Libby told me I would just have to get used to it because I would have my own kids someday!!




JP's hard core. He ran the Squaw Peak 50 miler in the rain and snow. Ick! He managed to look like he was having fun during and after the race, but we all know the truth, right? JP you're an iron man. I couldn't run a fraction of the distance on a sunny day with flat terrain at a snail's pace!



Little Haven was born on May 21. Congratulations Steve and Liz! She is beautiful! Liz is a trooper and already looks incredible. Sorry I'm the last to post about this, but I'm the last to post about a lot of things!!!!



Family pictures = fun times (sometimes). Aren't my grandma and grandpa the cutest? They just celebrated their 64th anniversary!!




Elder Joshy Boy is in the MTC! We already miss him tonz. JP keeps reminding me that it is ONLY two years! Not so comforting when he's only been gone 6 days. He will make a great little missionary and the folks in West Virginia better love 'im, er else!
