This picture of Luke gives a perfect image of how hot it was at the park on the 4th at the Gemtek party. Luke is holding a cup of BBQ chips which, I'm sad to say, is all he ate for dinner.
Austin is not certain anymore whether he'll be applying to dental school because the football plays he called at this 30 minute game were so awesome that he thinks he could go pro. He seriously had so much fun playing with his Gemtek buddies and family at the park.
This is the best shot we got of Luke with the mascot of the Boise Hawks. Luke cried his head off when we tried to get them in a picture together.
Derek and his date. I can't remember her name and didn't say one word to her. She seemed nice enough.
Dillon and his date...oh wait.
Because Joel bought so many tickets to this game (for all of his employees) we all got these free hats. Luke was really excited even though it's way too big for him.
Austin, coach of the year
Luke had a great time. This doesn't really capture that though.
Uh, maybe we should have taken this picture before we all were swollen and sweaty and so tired. Yeah, that would have been a much better idea.
Austin bought a cup of ice cream and Natalie didn't ask for any but kept making this face at Austin. He didn't get the hint till it was too late. What a mean uncle.
Dillon and some cute nephews. Luke really loved playing with Joel and Sarah's kids during the game.
Whitney and her date Nigel.
Ammon having a great time.
It seems pretty true that the mom is the designated photographer, so she is NEVER in any pictures. This is a bad attempt at taking a picture with my son by myself. Not the best idea ever.
At one point in the game, I held the camera up in the air and took a random picture. Melanie just happened to look up right then and was the only one posing for this picture. Nice job, Mel - always ready to strike a pose.
Austin at the end of the Boise game
Well, we had a great fourth. Austin went to work till 4pm then we headed over to the Gemtek party. They had so much fried chicken it would have made Bethany cry. Seriously, it was 2 huge boxes of delicious chicken. We even got to take a ton of it home - pretty sweet deal. We had the picture at a park across the street from Grandma Emery's old house which is, by the way, for sale. It was a great park with no one else there and tons of playgroup and places to play sports. We had all you can eat food and ice cream and then played games and talked and messed around. It was so hot and the guys had been working in the heat all day and then we were all about to sit in the hot sun for the baseball game for 4 hours, and yet they all played football in their regular clothes, sweating even more. Men are crazy. We all headed over to the game and got free hats and great seats. All the kids were good and it was fun to sit by so much family and friends. Boise won the game and then the fireworks began. They were awesome. Great party by Gemtek!
Thank you so much Brent and Joel and wives, we appreciate it that you go out of your way to make stuff like this happen.

Sarah and Matt's family and Justin and his kids came over on Friday night for a little pool time. We had bought some junky pool at WalMart but the kids all loved it! Unfortunately, we hadn't planned on going swimming so most of the kids didn't have their swimming suits and had to swim in their underwear or their swimming diapers. It was pretty fun. Austin thought they were having so much fun that he decided to jump in with all the kids too. Thanks to Gemtek for providing the dinner - leftover pizza. Good times!
Luke looks so weird in this picture, I couldn't resist putting it up. He was pretty excited to give his dad the father's day gifts.
Austin, in turn, was excited to get his Father's day gifts. We did it before church since we don't have church until 1pm. (So late! Ugh!)
I wasn't as prepared for Father's Day as I would have liked...I didn't really "wrap" any of the gifts. I don't really have any wrapping paper. I just put all the gifts in individual plastic bags - pretty lame. But Austin didn't seem to mind too much and Luke had fun giving his dad the gifts.
