Sunday, March 30 was Jordan's dad's birthday! We had a great time up in Midway spending the day with him and the rest of the family. Jord's mom made Byron's favorite meal, fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was DeLiCiOuS ... to say the least! I think it may be one of my favorite's now too! A few weeks ago, Byron and Lesa went to Oregon with some friends, so Jord and I decided we would go "play" at their house and clean out Byron's BARN for an early birthday gift! It was a ton of fun. I have never seen any man have as many TOOLS (a.k.a. "toys"!) as BMAN does! We organized all the inside of the cupboards and his BIG red tool box. We also swept up all that we could off the ground and wiped down what needed wiped down and then hung balloons up throughout the barn for the finishing touch! We knew Byron has been wanting to somewhat tidy up his barn for the past little while ... so hopefully this helped! We are thankful for him and all that he does for us! I know him and Jord have a great friendship and that really means a lot to Jord ... and me! We love him soooo much! Happy Birthday BMAN!
The Barn before it was completely cleaned ... I even took this a little after we had moved some things around and started cleaning.
... another one. Jord hanging some license plates ....
taa daa! finished product. These are license plates that have been on all the cars Byron has ever owned! ... pretty cool!
the BIG red toolbox! Jord's most proud project!
The CLEANER barn!
Here are some great photos I found on my computer to share ... a little tribute to "B" ...
Byron and his Mom! (Sweet Grandma Lela)
"B"(as jord calls him) with his boys (minus Kolb and Jax)
... with his sweetheart!
The last 2 pictures were taken in Maui, Hawaii - January 2007 ... what a GREAT trip!
"This is all that matters"
One of Bman's famous sayings ... one of my favorite's! He may not really realize when he says it, but almost every time we are around him, especially at the dinner table, he always tells us that we (FAMILY) are what really matters!! I love it!
This is our latest DAY family photo taken last summer (before Dev left on his mission and before baby Koryn was born)
