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!

YOu are a very funny girl! I miss you! I hope your marathon went well.
We miss you guys! Church is just not the same! Thank you so much for the delicious dinner...We are so grateful for such great friends! We need to plan something fun soon!
As always your fun writing style has brightened my day. Thanks for allowing me to peek in on you guys!
Not true. Dave's mom loved every minute of it!!! Maama
I cannot believe you tell such lies about your father...he does too know how to turn on the computer and in fact uses it daily at the store...however........that whole email thing isn't up his alley so I will pass your message onto him....I love you ,,,,I miss you....and Happy anniversary!
Looks like you are having fun! We miss you guys!
Hey, I wish I could have seen you while you were here, but I know what it is like going to where family is. Send me your birthdate!
I do that all the time! It drives my whole family crazy. I don't know why they keep trusting me with times and details.
Very sexy :) And I have to say that I have the opposite problem as you: I frequently FORGET that it is daylight savings time, and have shown up for church an hour LATE plenty of times :) ha!
Looks like you guys are having fun. But we aren't, because you guys aren't here! J/K. My mom has messed up the Daylight Savings thing so many time it has become a joke in our family. So you aren't alone.
You'll NEVER believe where we went on the REAL Father's Day.... Phoenix!! Yep, Jar's sister needed help moving to Gilbert so we took the drive and helped her move. One question, How the heck do you live in that heat?! And, I missed trying to fry an egg on the sidewalk, will you try it for me when you get home? Thanks.
Love all the pics, thanks for the update!
Hey Kate,
I'm sorry I missed out on seeing you in Utah as well. My gosh, can you get any skinnier! Miss you here at work. Take care and keep writing those blogs so I can keep up on you and your cute family. JM
