Jeff's Work BBQ & Puppies!

I had a party for the "Clinical Team" from work last week to celebrate one of my co-workers getting married. It was supposed to be at a park in Kuna, ID but due to some unexpected windy, thundery, lightningy, and sprinkly weather, we moved to Matt's house about 5 minutes away. It was a fun time as we had never gotten together with our families before and we are all LDS and generally have young kiddos. Here are some pics from the event.


Here is our Clinical Team on Matt's cool airplane teeter totter that seats 6-7, clockwise from the bottom left: David R., John S. (the big guy, our "Chief Administrator" but he was the Clinical Director when I was hired), Sam R., Matt H. (Clinical Director), Jeremy C., Me H., and Rob W. (front middle). Rob is the only other clinician who lives in Mt Home, which is craziness to me that all those other guys make the commute every day (the company has a vehicle they use for the commute, but still, it's like an hour at least!)

Matt's german short-hair had puppies like 6 weeks ago or something, so the kids just loved being able to play with them. Sarah was really taken by them and it was hard to pry her away. She was so cute with them, she tried to take one and put it down the little slide they had, luckily we stopped her in time.
Nathan was sure interested in the puppies. I think he was happy to have a "kid-sized" version. This is a pretty cute picture of him giving one a kiss. While we were out there with him he didn't want to hold them, but then after we had finished dinner and were sitting around chatting we saw Nathan lugging one around, headed for the slide (just like big sis!). I think we stopped him in time, but the survival of the dog was a little iffy there for a bit.

We sure loved how much he loved those puppies!

Even Jane got into the act!

Thanks Jenny for taking such great pictures! It was funny because my Clinical Director's family lived in the ward that Jenny and Aaron live in right now so they had a lot to talk about and Aaron is serving in the same calling (Young Men's President) that Matt was serving in when he was there. Small world!

Dude...Jane really is getting big! She does have her own look...huh?! What are your thoughts...does she look like one or the other? Nathan's hair is sure light, and the color in those pictures is GREAT! Love how vibrant they look. Those dogs are so cute, too bad they get bigger!
