Caleb & Asher

Here are the 2 cousins closest in age... Caleb & John Asher... 2 weeks and 2 days apart... We're hopeful that they will continue to find each other interesting.

Celebrating 50 years as a Pharmacist

John's Pharmacy has been in business for roughly 25 years. John McMullin has now been a pharmacist for 50 years! Here is the picture of the John's Pharmacy and John's Rx crew at this year's Christmas party. I'm glad I was able to work at the pharmacy when I was in high school, for the experiences I've had as part of a family owned business, and for my dad for building a business that so many people trust. 

At the Christmas party, the pharmacy employees gave my dad a drone... a Phantom 3 drone to be precise. And yes, as the picture shows, the propellers can cut flesh. That said, it is an awesome device... and it is easy to see why we can expect a lot more drones in our lives in the future.

Kansas City - JAM's 1st Roadtrip

For the past few years, I have been lucky enough to join with family and friends and attend a BYU football game at different locations (Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, etc.). This year, my alma maters chose to play each other... so it was a game we had to go to. BYU vs. Mizzou in Kansas City. 

We had to decide who was going and purchase tickets in the springtime. The surprise came when Daniela said she was going. I reminded her that we would have a child by then. That didn't deter her. Then I reminded her that it was in November and would likely be frigid. To which she became more determined to make it happen. And thus our efforts began to do things with kids, even babies, that others wouldn't...

We had a great time in Kansas City including...

1. Great dinner with family at one of my favorite places... the Cheesecake Factory. 

Funny moment... we were there on a Friday night. Naturally it was very busy. An 2 hour wait for a table. Plus we had a group of 12 so it took forever to get our food. One of my nephews got very hungry during the wait. Looking around he got excited when he noticed what he saw some snacks on the table... He opened one and found some white chocolate and popped it into his mouth... only to find his white chocolate was pure butter :-)

2. Great time with the Johnsons.

3. Loved being with family & friends at one of my favorite places, the Nelson-Atkins museum.

4. And touring a TV station.

5. Driving through Mission Hills (no pictures... but it is a neighborhood with really nice houses)

6. The football game... with Daniela and Asher

3 Years a Lawyer

I graduated from law school in 2012, took the bar exam that summer and then waited... and sometime in September got the good news... I passed.

It is hard to believe that has been 3 years ago. Especially when I think about the twists and turns those 3 years have had... but this year has seen some progress...

This year has included...
1. New and improved conference table

2. With the help of Crockette's Photography, some pictures of recent travels on the wall...

3. Meeting great people who I am happy to have as clients...

4. Working hard at our Cape office...

 5. And opening a small (and perhaps temporary) satellite office in New Madrid.

JAM at 2 months

As my dad said, nothing will change your life as much or as fast as having a baby. So true! Glad some of those changes are good. Including...

Having a buddy at church... and someone who serves as an excuse to get up during boring talks...

 Our very own monkey...

Someone to wear all of Aunt Sarah's hand me downs (Thank you Aunt Sarah!!)

Someone to go to work for and work with...

Life Happenings

Asher's preferred method of sleeping... the touchdown pose

On our walks, we pass by 5-H Ranch... home to exotic animals... which help make the walks more interesting...
