Jon usually does his drills for the Army Reserves here in Logan, but he's attached to a unit that's based out of Montana. Occasionally, he has to go up there for what feels like a super-long amount of time and the kids & I always really miss him. One of these times, when Jon came back home, the kids were napping. So, when I woke them up, I told them I had a surprise for them. They came out to the living room to find their daddy! It was such a cute moment.
----------------------------In May, our friends Greg & McKenzie announced that they were being relocated to Colorado for Greg's work. Greg has been Jon's best friend since about middle school, and they're both still great friends to us today. So we were pretty bummed to see them go. Before they left in June, we went to Merlin Olsen Central Park to take some pictures together. It's kind of a meaningful spot for all of us because when we were all dating (and nearly engaged to our respective spouses), we came to this park together to take pictures.

Serious poses
A small family walked by as we were trying to get our cameras set up at the right angle on a picnic table near the bridge so we could do auto-timer. They offered to take the pictures for us instead, which was fortunate because these shots turned out so much better with a real person taking them. Ha!
After we were finished taking pictures (and causing consternation with the grandmas who had brought their grandchildren to the playground--haha!), we went out to dinner together. Our waitress was awesome and agreed to take a group photo for us. Our last hurrah...

Both Alex & Elise had a fun time running laps around the entire cemetary. I love the somewhat maniacal look on Alex's face as he enjoys his run in this picture...
