US 9/2/18

It's Jon and I's big 19! NINETEEN. I was seventeen when I met him. Dated for seven before we married. Did I ever not know this boy? I'm so glad we have each other. There is something real special about having a family together and going through all those growing pains. But those moments where we catch each-others eye when we're hanging with the kids and it is just surreal that we created this, and it can last for the Eternities is the best!
Here's some funny things I sent to Jon. (Har-har.)


We took a quick trip down to St. George with the kiddo's and had a great time~ for the most part. I do recall being annoyed with the kids maybe 30% of the time, but that's neither here nor there.
 The weather was hot and gorgeous. I took Eli and Paisley back to a fun little shop I had visited with the Sista's to get some prints for the kitchen. (You will remember the couch inspiration/ Saga.) It had an adjoining store with a creepy mannequin in the dressing area. They wanted a picture with her, but I found it amusing they would not stand right next to her, and kept nervously looking over at her.
This is as close as they'd get. BOO!


Little Darlings.
Jon and I celebrated at probably our favorite restaurant of ever~ Lupita's in Hurricane. Deee-lish!
I told the kids to be sure to pack Sunday clothes so we could attend the little ward down there. As we loaded the car, I asked if everyone remembered Sunday clothes. Then on Sunday morning I realized I hadn't packed any Sunday clothes! Duh! What to do? I really had to muster up my nerve to walk into that Sacrament meeting in my jeans. I'm not kidding. We joked after on the way back to the house that perhaps people wondered if I was a woman investigating the church~ and this family.

This is what Nineteen years is all about. Wouldn't change a thing.
Well, that isn't entirely true, but at least I love where we are.

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 ...
