McCall and Neil's Super Fun Blog

We had a pretty rough week last week!  On Wednesday, Barrett was Mr. Accident Prone.  He bumped his head on a dresser, fell backwards off the couch, and stood up and hit his head on the corner of an open cupboard.  That's how he got this little cut.  He's had a huge sliver in his foot too that just won't come out!

On Thursday night Bear got really sick with a high fever.  He was completely miserable and just could not sleep well.  His fever throughout the weekend was anywhere from 100-104!  We went to the doctor on Friday and couldn't really find any reason why he was so sick.  His ear and his throat were a little irritated, but not too bad and his strep cultures came back negative.
He got to have a lot of movie time since he was so sick and I wanted him to get some rest.


Nights were terrible, he woke up about every hour on Friday night and was so tired but just couldn't sleep.  I slept in his room and even put him in bed with me for a few hours but neither of us slept too well like that.  Saturday night was a little better and but he was still waking up about every 2 hours.  Finally we started him on the antibiotics the dr gave us and he's started to feel so much better! I wish we would've given him those sooner!

We did go outside a little bit on Saturday to see the Thunderbirds that were flying over our house.

He seems to be much better now and slept all night last night!  We BOTH really needed that!

Just some random pictures.
Barrett only wanted the chocolate off of his ice cream bar.


Lately Bear's been wanting me to sit on the floor so he can lay on my lap before he gets in bed.  Now every time he does it, he also says, "take a picture."

We were very messy when we came home that day!

Planting flowers and helping in the yard with Pops and LaLa.





Kacey had her annual Surf n' Swim day for summer PE and I tagged along.  We got babysitters so we could actually talk to each other for once!  Nicole was supposed to come too but her and Eli caught pink eye.  Sadly, it was not a very nice day to be at the pool- totally cloudy and only about 75°.  We were still glad to be able to sit and talk for a couple hours though.

Bear wanted to put his sunnies on his head "like Jill"

Also, Pat and Dawn received their mission call.  They are going to the Cusco, Peru mission (which is funny because my parents JUST got back from a trip to the same place!).  This time they'll be gone for a whole year (their last mission was just 6 months).  I'm already looking forward to visiting them!

And Bear was adorable wanting to wear Neil's hat.

We dropped Bear off at Grandma and Papa's house so he could have a nap while we went to lunch at Taste of India.

And got massages.

Then we picked him up again to go get snow cones.
That night I made Neil dinner and we bought a lemon pudding cake for his birthday cake.  My parents brought him home a cutlers brownie cookie, so he combined them.  Barrett was SO excited about the candles!


We didn't get around to opening his presents until Friday.  He got this massive, freaky knife.
 He also got some new headphones, a camelback, etc. I can't remember everything.

Friday night we went to dinner at Twigs with Pat and Dawn.
 Neil got a new scope for a gun, of course.


Barrett loves fountains so much!

Saturday Neil went shooting.

He took our friend Jason Voss with him.

After that, we went down to City Creek for dinner and a bit of shopping.

Sunday was our family dinner.  He asked my mom to make ribs, which was quite the task!
These dang pictures didn't turn out very well because of all the sunlight behind them :(
Again, Barrett was super excited about the candles.

He climbed right onto the table so he could blow them out himself.
 It was hilarious.
Happy birthday Neil!  I hope that was enough celebrating for you!

These 2 guys had pretty good naps on Father's Day. I don't know how they could sleep through the noisy sound of the ice cream maker.


We gave my dad this Play Doh dental set.  I thought it was such a funny toy.



He loves playing with his Papa and Grandma!



Pops and Bear probably watching Tangled or Monsters, Inc.  Those are his 2 favorites right now.


My siblings gave my dad tickets to the Michael McDonald concert this summer.  He was pretty surprised!
We love the dads in our lives and know that they all work super hard for their families!
