john's weekend

this weekend was devoted entirely to john, honey's younger brother that just graduated from high school.  but let's back up a bit with a few pictures first.

thursday happened.  while i was waiting around for our sprinkler guy and the bed delivery people, i got the itch to organize our junk drawers.  they're those two top pullout drawers you see in the kitchen island.  they can hold a lot of junk.  so i pulled it all out and... the bed guys came.

yeay!  we have a bed!  see what i was saying about how we never had a bed?  just a mattress on a metal frame.  and even though it was queen size, with the way the windows are flanking that wall of the bedroom, it made our bed look awkward and tiny.  so, new king bed.  

also, on a completely random note.  these are some skinny jeans i bought for baby when she was five months old.  this was before i realized that my baby would be tiny forever.  they're size 6-9 months and i was thinking she would be wearing them within two months of me purchasing them.  wrong.  18 months later and they're just really huge cropped pants.  they look cute if i can keep them pulled up on her waist but honestly, that's impossible and baby girl walk around like a thug, pausing every once in a while to try her hand at heaving those pants up on her hips.

 

okay, so onto john's weekend.  friday was all day graduation stuff.  graduation ceremony held at denver university.  then out to lunch with the fam at cheddars.  baby and i actually had to head out early so i could take her home for a late nap (like i think she didn't even get to sleep til close to five) but the party continued without us i'm sure.

the brothers.  minus mark who is serving his mission in mexico right now.

saturday was john's eagle court of honor.  it was at my in laws and they had lunch for everyone afterwards.  tons of good food and the sloppy joes were maybe the best i've ever had.  i ate three.  in addition to all the other food.  so delicious.

 

 

 

baby girl just walked right over to where her uncle john was sitting and climbed right up on his lap.  they're so cute together.

and sunday was packed too.  john got the melchizedek priesthood on sunday.  once again, baby and i couldn't join until later because i needed to be at our ward for young womens and baby needed a nap after church, but we headed over to the hilliers at 6 and ate some amazing steaks, hung out, played games, and then had some scrumptious desserts before heading home around 10.  we party hard.

looove this picture.  baby girl and her aunt stephanie.

 

 

and despite john being so busy with all of his stuff going on, he managed to find bits of time all weekend to practice abc's with baby girl.  just like this...

aaaannnnnddddd i hate blogger again.  video to be added in the near future.
