Happy Father's Day and Stuff! (it's never too late, right?)

The weekend of Father's Day was nuts. Riley went white water rafting with the Priests all day and into the night. He's itching to go again. Jaxon had a Primary activity day where he went to the firestation and made a sweet tie for Riley and got to sit in the fire trucks and help wash them as a service project. So cool! I was bummed that I forgot my camera. My Granny and Grandpa came into town as well as Katie and Mark with Mark's brother Steve for a whirlwind weekend trip. Before Jaxon got Steve's name down he called him "Crazy Uncle Mark other Mark" for short. On Father's Day the primary sang again in sacrament meeting. Jaxon was all geared up and ready to go, or so I thought. He was the first one up on the stage and then promptly came back down because he didn't want to be up there all by his lonesome I suppose. And then once all the kids were up on the stage there he thought there was no room for him so he didn't want to go up there. So once again he stood by me while I led the songs and then burst into tears when we had to sit down because he didn't go on the stage to sing. It's hard being a little guy!

This is Sammi showing off one of Daddy's ties. Dad took care of himself for father's day and got himself some suits on ebay for on the cheap. Plus they came with a bonus tie. Of which I will not let him wear one because it's lavendar and pink. Uh, no. Sammi loves it though!

Here's Riley sporting his tie that Jaxon made for him at his activity day. All the dad's loved them; they were all beaming! On Monday morning Jaxon was eating breakfast with Riley when he asked, "Are you going to wear yours new tie to work, Daddy?" So hopeful. Riley informed him that it was a special tie that he could only wear on father's day.

Riley took Jaxon on his very first campout the weekend before Father's day. They both came back tired, but had a great time!

This is a picture I got of the four generations of women in our family. Granny Gene with her daughter and her daughter and her daughter. Kinda cool, huh? Like my white knees?

Explanation: Walrus day = Father's day. A few years back my family were all together for Father's day and decided that Father's day needed a mascot, if you will, for the holiday. Kinda like Santa or the Easter bunny. We thought that a walrus would be fitting for such an occassion. So happy walrus day one and all!

It was Emily's birthday on Monday. She's such a babe! We celebrated it all together over the weekend while everyone was here.

Here's the whole crew. Thanks Steve for taking the picture! Riley is missing because he was busy having an awesome time with the priests as was mentioned before.

So there's kind of a scattered run down of what's been going on with us. Sorry if it doesn't make much sense and is kind of disconnected, but Sammi has a stinky bum and it's really distracting, so I must go. Happy Father's Day!
