a new trend

so i'm going through all these pics to blog and i realize that most of them consist of jack with no pants on and some kind of footwear so here's a gallery of sorts of fall's newest fashion.

gratitude

okay, so for the past hour i have been perusing everyone's blogs to catch up and i'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing friends and family that we have. i could not begin to count the number of times i've thanked my Heavenly Father for the good people that surround us, for your inspiring examples of faith and strength. you've changed me and my family for which i can never express enough thanks. and if you're reading this, i'm talking about you.

i love you all. thank you.

PA school, here we come...

we are very pleased to announce that shawn was accepted into Tuoro University's PA program!!! we are so excited and so relieved, i know many of you know exactly how that feels. he starts school in the beginning of july so its a little sooner than we were thinking but that's okay. oh, tuoro is in henderson, NV right outside of vegas, for those who don't know. we're glad that it's so close to home, many of you can come and visit on your way to cali or come see some shows on the strip and stay with us. it will be fantastically hot but what can you do? and shout out to my cousins down there...it'll be awesome to be down there with them. also we'd like to send a shout out to danny millward and michael evans who tutored shawn through the PA process, you guys are wonderful, thank you so much. ALSO a shout out to family and friends for their prayers and support. couldn't have done it without you! life is good.

love you all!

welcome to the gibbs kitchen

couple of saturdays ago, i came home from my morning run and found this. my heart just melted.

jack is a great name

we went to the jack johnson concert at the USANA with some of our best buds the tenneys and the dushanes. good music, good company, good time had by all. how could you not with all that weed floating through the air?
i've decided i'm never take a picture in this position again because i always look freaky.

ah, yes, the perfect seat.

this is how jack watched the olympics.

some great lookin' legs

okay, so one sunday, shawn put his dress socks on jack and then we laughed our heads off. he's ready for the runway.
