1. Temple weddings. As we were going to Jake's cousin's wedding Jake said, "I love temple weddings." His mom asked why and he said, "They're just so simple and beautiful." I have to agree. Its been a while since we've been to one, and especially since this one was in the Timpanogos Temple (where we were married) and performed by his grandpa (who performed ours) it brought back a lot of sweet memories. At one point Jake said to me, "I LOVED marrying you." It was really sweet because I could tell that he too was reflecting on that day that we chose to make our relationship eternal.

2. A beautiful weekend. The weather this weekend we had beautiful weather. I'm a little bummed we didn't get to take the boat out (Jake had a softball tournament in Delta on Saturday) but the girls (Jake's mom, and two sisters) and I took Josh and Dekker on a picnic up the canyon and had fun exploring and throwing rocks/sticks in the river.

3. Card games. This is a MUST when Jake's family is around.

4. Yummy BBQ. I know I've mentioned this a few times lately but we seriously LOVE to BBQ. Especially now that we've got our patio and yard stuff looking better for entertaining.

5. Etsy.com. I happened upon this cute website the other day and its now a favorite. The homemade pillows, art, and BAGS are so fun to admire!

6. Thank yous from Josh. Last night we all went miniature golfing. It was hard so close to the boys' bed time and with such a big group... Josh was running from hole to hole. As we were driving home Dekker was screaming in the back seat (he was just too tired to be his normal sweet self) and just as I was thinking "I should have just stayed home with the boys" Josh piped up and said, "Mama, Dad, thanks for taking me golfing!" It melted my heart- you could tell he'd had such a good time and was just bursting with gratitude.
