Family Time

Today we were able to relax by the pool and have a BBQ just as a family.  It was nice to be together because Jon has been working a lot more lately now that he has extra responsibilities at work and taking on the PIO position for Metro while at home.  PIO is "Public Informations Officer".  If there is a fire he gets dispatched and has to listen to the radio and Tweet what is going on to keep the media informed.  If it is something major he has to go at be the spokes person for the department.  Too bad we don't get the right TV channels through our antenna to be able to see his interviews.  I'm sure he does such a great job!

Mormon Helping Hands

Every year the church nation wide  on the same day does a community service project. This year we beautified a community park by Lake Forrest Elementary here in El Dorado Hills.  Here is Jon carrying the most loads of the day, 10 buckets worth of mulch.  Nice overhead squat Lover!  

Jon's Crew

Here Jon is with his Engineer and Firefighter on a structure fire.  I think this fire was in the garage but I might be mistaken.  Anyhow, they saved the day.  That's my captain! What a handsome husband and dad we have!

Rylee & Brody's Mini Meet

Today Rylee and Brody had another mini meet to show us what she's been learning!  This was Brody's first time showing us his routines and he did great as well.  He is so strong!  Rylee did a great job and we are so proud of all their hard work!  We know it is not easy and you two are getting stronger and stronger every day!  Keep up the hard work!

A Funeral and 2 Birthday Parties

This morning was Coach Ingram's memorial service at Washington High School.  Jon played football for him and had a great appreciation for him.  Afterwards we all went to the Skubal's house to celebrate Johnny and Jakie's birthday!  Happy #36 to Johnny and #3 to Jakie!  We had a great time!  Happy Birthday!

No Child Left Inside Day

Today was Rylee's "No Child Left Inside Day" at school.  I wasn't able to help out but Megan Patrick was there sending me pictures.  Thanks!  She is such a cutie!  Also this is what Rylee brought home in her Friday folder today.  It brought tears of joy to my eyes.  The assignment is that she is given a word and she is supposed to come up with her own sentence about it and illustrate it.  This is was she wrote, "My Mom and Dad are together forever."  Technically we are not yet, but we are on our way to being together forever.  This is girl is so sweet and has a wonderful spirit about her.  I love you so much Rylee!

Chick-fil-a

This is Rylee's spring school picture.  Compared to the beginning of the year, she is getting more and more grown up.  I love this little...big girl!  For dinner we went to Chick-fil-a for some grilled chicken nuggets, a free carriage ride and a we even met Cinderella and her Prince!  The kids had a great time!

Station 24 Community Open House

Jon has been working on this project for a couple weeks now.  He was assigned to host and organize a community open house to educate the public. We went to support him and have a free donut.  Jon did a great job putting it all together! I'm sure his chiefs were proud! Taylee couldn't get enough of the fire dog.  She just wanted to hug him the whole time!  Brody and Rylee loved trying on all the turnouts and SCBA's.
