The Best Surprise

I got home and grabbed a snack tonight and waited for Jackson to get home. He was about 20 min. later than usual and it made me a little worried. I tried to stay calm though because he had told me there was a lot of traffic. It was getting later and later and I was just about to call him again when all of the sudden I heard the front door open. I jumped up to go and give him a hug and ask how his day was. As I turned the corner, I saw what he was holding. I won't lie, it made me tear up a little. In his hands was the cutest little arrangement of flowers. He knew I had been having a rough couple of days and wanted to surprise me. Jack looked at me and then looked at the flowers and said, "This is the traffic I was stuck in, ha ha." Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him. He is so so sweet to me. Thanks Jack! Love you. 

Tonight we also got to go to Bahama Bucks with David, Megan, and their cute little guy. It was a good time! I didn't get a picture of all of us... so I used this one Megan took, ha ha. His face... what a dork. 

Megan Leavey

I know you're all going to think we're movie junkies... and to honest, you're totally right! This summer Jack and I have DEFINITELY taken advantage of $5 Tuesdays at the Cine mark Theaters. Tonight we went and saw the movie Megan Leavey. Any of you who know me know I love dogs more than most other things in life and this movie definitely pulled on those heart strings. It's... "Based on the true life story of a young Marine Corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq." Jackson really liked it as well. It's always a fun night out with him. 

Mulligan's

This last week, Jackson was invited to go and play golf with some of his co-workers. He's feeling a bit rusty since he hasn't been in a while, so we headed to Mulligan's so he could hit a bucket of balls. It was a bit chilly but a lot of fun. He got his swing back in no time. I on the other hand, am TERRIBLE. It's pretty amusing. I love this goofy guy of mine. 😏 Oh! We also got our new fit bits in the mail today. I am so excited!

Baby Cuddles

I know I'm always blowing up my blog with pictures of my niece and nephews.... but they are just so freakin' cute! We got to go and see little baby Tyson again today. I just got to cuddle him for a little while. Such a cute little guy! He's finally out of his preemie clothes and into new born size. 

Baseball and Pizza

This morning we headed to see Keaton play baseball. He was playing out in Lehi. It was such good weather and so nice to get a little sun. My legs are still so pasty right now, ha ha! He did really well and his team ended up winning both games that day. It's so funny to see how much he moves like Jackson when he plays. 

After the game, we stopped by to see Hayden at the Oakley's store. He's working there for the summer before he heads on his mission. I know that he has started his papers and I am so excited to know where he'll go but I'm glad he's still got more time at home. 

From the Oakley's store we drove down to Heather's to see them for a bit. Jackson and I fed Hadley and Easton lunch while Heather was getting ready and we were waiting for Eric to get home from school. Heather told us we could give them an oreo after their lunch and they LOVED it... if you can't tell by the oreo all over their faces. 

We ended up going to Pizza Pie Cafe for dinner after Eric got home. Easton ate pretty good but Hadley was spitting out EVERYTHING. Even the OREO desert pizza. I couldn't believe it, ha ha! They are so darn cute. 

 

Movie Night... Nights

Last night Jackson and I decided to go see Wonder Woman. We had free tickets from his work that we hadn't used yet. It was really good! Then tonight, it was $5 night and the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie had come out... so we decided to go see that! Two movies two nights in a row for $10? I'm not complaining, ha ha. 

Yum!

Jackson and I have really been trying hard lately to make some healthier choices. Well, I found these on Instagram and I couldn't wait to try them. They are called Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Balls. To me, they honestly taste so similar to no-bake cookies. There are so many variations of the recipe all over. Find one that looks good to you and I STRONGLY recommend trying it. It's a healthy alternative when you have a sweet tooth... and man are they good! 

Baby Ty

Today we got some errands done, went to the gym, etc. We got a watermelon at the grocery store and I couldn't wait to cut it up when we got home. It is my FAVORITE food in summertime. Doesn't it look delicious?

We stopped by to visit little Tyson tonight. He's gotten so much bigger! He's still so tiny... but two pounds on him makes a big difference when he only started at four. I feel like I get the best of both worlds. I don't have my own kids... but I get to play with babies all the time. Then when the hard stuff comes, I just get to give them back to their parents, ha ha. I seriously LOVE being an aunt. It's so cute to see how much Jackson loves my niece and nephews as well. 

I love that it totally looks like he's flipping us off in this one. ;)

Summer is Finally Here

Tonight we headed up to visit the twins in Clinton. Heather had a little kiddie pool outside and it was pretty warm so we got them dressed in their swim suits and headed outside. It finally feels like summer! :) Easton LOVED the water and splashed and splashed! Hadley liked it, but wasn't so sure about it. Every time we put her in, she'd play for a minute or two then bail and run around the yard giggling at herself. Afterwards, we got the twins to bed then ate some dinner and watched a movie. Heather and Eric even made us homemade ice cream! It was delicious.
