Happy Father's Day

Izak and Landon are so blessed to have such a good Daddy. I'd say Happy Father's Day to my Dad too, but my Dad doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, let alone what a blog is. Speaking of Father's Day....

So, about a month ago I was planning this big family get together to take place over Father's Day weekend. My brother, sister, and I were going to run the Bear Lake 1/2 marathon so it was to be a family reunion of sorts with even my parents and brothers coming from Oregon. I even convinced my family to stay through Sunday so we could all celebrate Father's Day together before everyone headed their separate directions.

So, we booked a vacation home for a couple of days and started planning. I gave everyone food assignments for each day. My sister had Sunday breakfast so I spoke to her personally and asked her to make sure that it was an extra special breakfast since it was Father's Day. She told me that it was NOT going to be Father's Day. And then I politely told her that it indeed was! Back and forth, back and forth, until she just had to prove me wrong with a calendar (who really uses those things anyway?). So, if any of you celebrated Father's Day last Sunday instead of today, you're not alone.

I have a bad habit of doing things like that. You know, making up when I think different dates should be....

It reminds me of the time that I decided it was Daylight Savings. I just randomly got in my head that the next day was Daylight Savings. So I told Dave that we needed to switch our clocks ahead one hour before we went to bed. And we did. For some reason Dave wasn't that happy when we showed up to 8am church an hour early the next day. Someone has GOT to invent something to keep all of these dates straight....

On a random tangent-since coming to Utah, we've been doing quite a bit so I thought I'd just throw in random pictures rather than bore you with useless details. So, here they are in all their (non)glory...


After watching the boys for an entire weekend so we could celebrate our anniversary (thank you Maama!!), I think Dave's mom might agree with this sign (Dinosaur museum)


Dave has his throne (on a boxcar at the train museum in Ogden)....


And Landon has his (at a children's museum in Ogden)...


You know what I love about Shelly? She always calls me before we get together to make sure we will color coordinate for our pictures. (We were lucky enough to spend some time with Shelly and her kids both at a Children's Museum and Lagoon)


I've been told I look sexier with my eyes closed (Bear Lake 1/2 marathon)

Hope you all are having a great summer!
