Birthday Weekend!

Our baby Junie turns 5 today!! We had a special time making cookies, just he and I.
Then the Harker family arrived from Iowa. We had a quick dance party then headed to Monkey Joe's.

Scott kept throwing June down by his toes.

Uncle Thad, Cousin Hanker, Scott and Scotty. Oh, yeah!! Happiness!

Memorial Service

Saturday was a beautiful day and we got up early. Tom helped Scott get ready.

Sissy and her dad.

Grandpa and the gang.

Grandpa and his 6 grandkids at the service.

Scott sang this song (his mom asked him too) and one of his best buddies played the paino. He had a hard time singing but the entire audience joined in. It was a beautiful sevice. Grandma Karen will be greatly missed but her memory will last forever.

ARIZONA!

We arrived in AZ early in the morning. Do you think June was happy to be there? Although we were sad to be in AZ to go to Grandma Karen's memorial service we enjoyed our time with family and friends.

We enjoyed the railroad park in the warm sunshine. (and bare feet)

We went for the coolest hike to one of Grandpa Tom's favorite mountains.

On the hike Amelia mentioned that it hurt to swallow. (hours later in an urgent care we discovered it was strep)

Wonderful Grandpa Tom. He was the best husband for 42 years!

Hey kids, remember don't touch the cactus. Thumbs up, Macker.

More hiking...

We left Amelia home at Grandpa's to rest and we met these crazies for lunch! Hellllo, In-in-Out!

These 2 might need to get married. Buddies for life!

90% Off at Target

Ok, I know I'm way behind in all my blogging. We've been to AZ and then super sick and now we're better and just trying to catch up on life. But first, tonight our family was walking around Target (that's what you do in IL when it gets dark at 4:45pm. stinkin daylight savings...) Anyway, we wandered past the Halloween/junk isle and struck gold!
