Dad is HOME!

Jason works late and goes out of town on occasion (HA ha ha, he he he- "on occasion"?! That is a funny joke! Ok, you're right it's really not that funny. Just had to throw that in :) and as you know he tries to bring the kids home a little surprise when he does. They are always unique thoughtful gifts that one day the kids will really appreciate- like rocks of different formations and colors, Mexican Jumping beans and rattle snake eggs (which really has been fun) and other such things. But what they really hope for every time is a toy.

The other morning they woke up to dad being home. This is when they got their prizes.
We could hardly get Luke to look up to take his picture!
Allie was really excited about her prize! An alarm clock just like she has been begging for! Really!
THANK YOU Daddy! We love them!!!
Guess who else was out of town? Wesley got the chance to go visit Grandma and Grandpa J with some friends who were traveling to UT for a wedding. We all missed him so much. I think he missed us but he sure had fun going to the fair and sliding the big slide with Grandpa, playing with cousin Peter, making lego houses with Aunt Peggy, going swimming in the jacuzzi and getting G & G all to himself.

There was an opportunity to extend his visit by a week but we all missed him. We let him decide and he had decided to stay until someone gave him a call- someone who missed him more than anyone else: Luke. Luke had quite the sell- if he came home Luke would give him a surprise (and he insisted that Wesley give him a hug when he received the surprise). It was such a strong sell that we all thought it was all over. Wesley woke up and decided it was time. Luke gave him a little remote controlled car, and dad had to remind him to hug Luke.

He got home late on a Monday night (after having left the Wednesday before). Luke had been sleeping with Allie and Rachel since he didn't want to be all alone in the boys room. Wesley was happy to join them and they actually slept altogether for several nights.
Who needs more than one bed?!
