What a FUN weekend!

1. Friday at Dairy Days. I took the boys up to Dairy Days at the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo. It was lots of fun with ice cream and chocolate milk samples. Ice cream and butter making and other fun activities.

2.Friday/Saturday girls getaway. My birthday gift from Jake was a night away with the girls. We rented a condo up in Park City. We relaxed at the hot tub, ate pizza and snacks, played games, watched chick flicks, did pedicures and stayed up late and slept in (me not so much- my body is just too used to waking up at 7:30)and went shopping at the outlets for hours before grabbing lunch and heading home. It was really nice.

3. Father's day. Yummy breakfast. A walk to the park. Delicious dinner. Even though it was all in Jake's honor it was enjoyed by all.

4. Men/Fathers. In a world where gender roles get confused and down-played, where a lot of time husbands are portrayed as lazy, unintelligent, and crewd- I'm so thankful that there are still great men out there who work hard every day to show just what strength and power comes when a man lives up to his potential. I'm especially grateful to the father of my two boys. They adore him- and I'm so glad they do. He is a great example for them to follow. He is kind, loving and hard-working. I am very blessed.

5. "Chocolate". This is my favorite word that Dekker says these days. He pronunciates it so well- and almost with a hint of British accent or something. I love it!
