Yo, it's Apri, Fool!

First things first~ I whipped up some eggs for Jon. Loaded with salt and baking soda. I could hear him coming down the stairs and shoved the plate in Adren's hands so he'd give it to him. (I know he doesn't trust me) He was skeptical, so I told him Adren had made them just for him. Adren has learned how to make eggs lately, so it is not uncommon to receive a plate of eggs randomly whether you like it or not. Jon took in quite a fork full.
This got the kids wheels turning and suddenly we were hearing all kinds of things- "There's a spider on your back!" "The house is on fire!" Adren took the bottle of honey in the bathroom and drizzled it on the rug and door knob. Ok, EASY. This is a day I like to be in control of. None the less, it was fun.
I called the kids in for dinner. The menu: Cheese Burgers, Potato Chips, Strawberries, and Juice!
Zeke was a bit offended at his portion. Side note- Paisley- quite fitting for the day, covered Zeke head to toe in marker. It was quite the surprise when I changed his diaper. Head to toe.
Paisley ready to sink her teeth into that juicy burger!
Cheers! When I saw these mini juice bottles at the store the wheels in my head started to turn. They are too cute to pass up!

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

 Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam.   Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day.  My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
