Sweet 16!



Jr. and Dad at the Salt Lake Real (soccer) game last Saturday.

I'm not sure how this is possible, but as of TOMORROW Jr. is officially 16 years old.
 
Yup. SIXTEEN!
 
You know what that means, right? He's going to be the 4th Meehan kiddo to drive!
 
(Psst: Dave and I are dyin' here. Two-thirds of our kids drive. It's nuts--just ask our insurance agent.)
 
We are super excited to celebrate Jr.'s bday, so we kicked off the Sweet 16 festivities with a Bowling/Laser-Tag/Frisbee/Glow-In-The-Dark Soccer/Pizza Party last Friday. It was SO fun. Jr. has a great group of friends. And aside from taking a Frisbee to the lip, I think Jr. would say it was a pretty PERFET NIGHT.
 
Happy Birthday Jr. We love you!
 
 
 
Jr. and two friends (brothers) he's known since he was 10.


The whole gang.


Meanwhile ... on a lane nearby, Zu and Lu and their friend bowled.


Papaya and Bam tended our favorite neighbor and bambino McK.


Bowling.


Zu.
(Funny sidenote: see that the teens all stand, right? Even when others are bowling.)

McK bowled with some help from Zu and Lu.


Jr.'s friend, K--who bowled with his phone up to his ear. For reals.


Getting ready for laser-tag. Baby McK.




Jay and Lauryn--at the Salt Lake Temple.
(They were at the party, too, but not in the pics because they were getting the pizzas.)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
