HAPPY 34th JONNY!


(Cade singing happy birthday...look at all those candles!)
September 22, 1974 our awesome husband and dad was brought into this world! How grateful we are! Here are some of his accomplishments this year:


-Got a couple deer in Idaho and MT
-took his wife on a cruise
-had his 3rd wedding anniversary in Vegas
-learned how to tile his own kitchen
-Lead his church bball team to a Championship win
-conceived boy no. 2
-Did yet another olympic triathlon in McCall
-Did his 3rd LotoJa bike race
-almost 5 years owning his own Unishippers franchise (and paid it off!)


To celebrate his 34th, Brynne suprised him with a professional massage on his lunch hour, then his favorite steak dinner at Wolfe Lodge, and a suprise after party with friends for cake and a 'who's most like Jon?' game. Later we celebrated with family with the BIG chocolate cake! He received many nice gifts, calls, and cards on his birthday. Thanks everyone! It was a great 34th.

Happy day Jonny! Sounds like an eventful year. So nice to pay off your franchise too... oh what it would be like! :) So our present will be in the mail with all those baby clothes... although it won't be a surprise, since I already told you what it was going to be. But, hopefully you'll still like it. :) Thanks for taking good care of our sis, and producing ADORABLE boys! So fun that our boys will have buddies!
