fourth of july

We had a fun fourth of July. We went for a long run/walk in the morning and went to our pool in the afternoon. We had quick BBQ at my parents and then we ventured off to Union City to go and see the Macy fireworks on the Hudson River. We met a bunch of families from our ward and hiked down to the river.

It was awesome to be so close to the water and have the NY skyline as the backdrop for the fireworks. We had a fun day. Happy fourth!

A combined birthday celebration




Last week a bunch of us went to Van Saun park. We went to the zoo and then on a train ride and then the kids had lunch and a cookie cake. Since most of the kids have a birthday in the end of May-July we had a combined little birthday celebration for them. Jenny made the kids a cookie cake and we had party hats. The kids a fun day. Brooke and Mya were so tired they fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car. Thanks everyone for a fun day.


A little late


I am only a couple weeks late on posting but Happy Fathers Day. We had a fun day with Jon. I bought him a new running watch a few weeks ago and of course I was too excited to wait until fathers day, so I had him open it a few days after I bought it. On fathers day we had Jon's roommate from school, Jeff and his wife Jenni visiting from Virginia. It was fun to see them and catch up on things. We love you jon. Thanks for being a wonderful husband and father.
