jon is twenty something!

we went to celebrate jon's birthday where he turned some age in his twenties... i think maybe 28, i can't possibly keep track. natasha threw him his annual beer and hard cider tasting party and per the usual beckett got sloppy drunk. i kid. he handles his alcohol super well. we brought an alcoholic ginger beer that was goooood and lonnie brought an alcoholic root beer and that was also goooood. heath tried his first ever popcorn, which is crazy because i think beckett tried his first ever popcorn at one of jon's bday parties too. it's a tradition. or something. anyways, we had a fun time. happy twenty something to jon!

welcome to the planet, keller robert!

hurray! another little baby is here! and it's another boy! natasha just clearly doesn't like to do things like the average person because keller is a first baby who came pretty quickly a few weeks early! when she started texting about her contractions and how they were pretty painful i thought to myself, "ha! she is going to be in for a real shock when she gets real contractions in a few weeks." there you have it... i'm a monster. she showed me by delivering a baby (naturally!) a few hours later. gah. this little baby is sweet as can be and we are so happy for the mears. i am also so happy for heath to have another little friend to add to the guy club! boyz for dayz! ha. welcome tiny, cute face!

natasha's hubby, jon, used to be a soccer coach at lil' kickers... but now he is not. probably he misses it a lot. so, lucky for him, we offered to let him teach our tiny soccer stars. actually, jon so graciously agreed to teach some soccer lessons at the park over the summer, while the weather is just oh so nice. so i organized it, and we met once a week and picnicked after each class and it was pretty fun. and now our kids are really great soccer players. they'll probably be trying out for the sounders any day now. so many pictures...

i can't even...

jon is twenty five!

last saturday we went to celebrate jon's 25th birthday. what a baby. natasha threw jon a beer tasting party and i tasted so many beers! that is a lie. i tasted one beer and it was gross. john brought a voodoo doughnut maple bacon beer and i will just say that liquids should not taste like smoky bacon. after that i stuck with hard cider. of course beckett and quinn got super drunk because they are just babies and haven't learned self control. i was embarrassed for them. b did actually try popcorn for the first time. he liked it... i was paranoid about him choking to death, so he didn't have much. anyways, thanks jon for being born and inviting us to your party. we had fun.
