Life Lately

It's been a while since I've blogged. I have been slacking because we have been super busy this past month! Luke turned ONE and we had a pirate-themed party for him. It was really fun and we maybe went a little overboard on the decor and food. But everyone really enjoyed it and Luke got soo spoiled. He loved his smash cake and we let him eat the whole thing almost. (I think he got more on his face and in his diaper than in his mouth...so it's okay.) Here are some pics of his party/decor.























After Luke's birthday and birthday party, Luke and I went to Heber for a week to watch my little brother Gavin graduate. He is the last of the Jones kids and now my parents will be empty nesters! How crazy, and awesome for them. They are in the process of buying a home in St. George. It will probably just serve as a condo/second home for a while and eventually they will most likely reside there most the year and go to Heber in the summer time. It will be nice to have them closer, but I hope they always have a home in Heber so we can visit! I love it and miss it every day. Drew finished up his first year as a teacher and we are so proud of him! It is really weird having him home all day but Luke and I are loving it. He was pretty bored and it was a big adjustment the first couple days but he is having more fun now that we swim, watch movies, play games, go to the park, go shopping, etc. I am afraid he will not want to go back in the fall! But knowing him, he will probably be more than ready to start working again. Until then, we have PLENTY of fun activities planned for the summer! We leave tomorrow to go camping for a couple days with my fam at Capitol Reef National Park in Utah, then we will spend about a week in Heber before driving to Moses Lake, WA to visit Drew's brother and his wife. They will be blessing their baby (Zak Drew Burton) and we get to be there. We are excited to see them! They haven't seen Luke since last August so it will be fun to catch up. We will be back home for Drew's birthday July 12th and then will spend another week or so in Heber at the end of July, with a possible quick trip to Yellowstone somewhere in there. BUSY busy. That's what we will be. But we are excited to be together and visit family! I hope to update my blog but will probably not be the best at it through the summer, we'll see. :) Enjoy all these pics for now!



All ready for church! LOOK how handsome!





Drew ready for graduation! He was an usher...and had to wear a tux. Pretty spiffy!


Here is proof that Luke LOVES having his daddy home ALL day long!


He had possibly his biggest/saddest fall yet at church last week. He was just walking along the metal chairs and fell between two of them, banging his eye. It looks better here but was huge and blue and sad!


And I have a super cute video I was trying to upload but it wasn't working :( Maybe next time...
