Father's Day Weekend 2011

For some dumb reason I didn't take one single picture this whole weekend.  So I guess this will just be a post.  We had a fabulous whirlwind weekend.  Aubree had her last baseball game of the season on Friday, at the game Shane decides we are having a BBQ at their house....fine by us.  Heidi and I left the ball park and went to Wally World for all the fixin's.  We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, the kids played and ran wild, like they usually do at Aunt Heidi's.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  I am so lucky to have such an amazing friend, I am lucky that our husbands are friends and that our kids are as close as cousins...brother's and sister's sometimes.  Family and Friends make the world go around.  We brought Shadie home with us for a sleepover......

On to Saturday, I had ordered Bountiful Baskets that had to be picked up at 9:15 so there was no sleeping in for me!  After getting the baskets I had to be home and ready by 11, my Mom was picking Aubree and me up for lunch and Mama Mia!!!!!  It is so fun to carry on with Aubree what my Mom did with me as a little girl.  The play is a little more "riskay" than the movie and that, I didn't know but I think a lot of it went over her head or she was embarrassed (thank goodness).  The second the play was over we flew back to DJ's house for our Father's Day / June Birthday Celebration.  We had hamburgers and hot dogs and kids played games, jumped on the tramp and everybody played some kind of basketball game....not sure what that was all about, I barely know the difference between basketballs and soccer balls.  Well, maybe its not that bad but I certainly don't touch either. 

Finally Sunday, Aubree and I slept in LATE and I loved every minute of it.  When we finally got up we gave Nate his Father's Day cards and his super awesome present......Banana Creamies!!!!  We weren't spending a lot this year since we are dumping ever spare cent into our yard and Aubree picked out the creamies for him, I thought it was pretty cute.  Then Aubs and I went to church, running out the door the second it was over so we could get to Dustin and Jade's for Fathers Day with Nate's Dad.  They made steaks, baked potatoes, pasta salad, corn on the cob, rolls and watermelon.  I made a chocolate eclair cake, recipe compliments of my sister Stacy and it's always delish!  Nate's parents met Brandon and Heidi in Montana on Saturday to pick up Spencer for his summer visit.  So the cousins had fun running wild and hunting for snakes and coyotes (cringe cringe cringe).  Jade and Dustin live up on the mountain in Willard and snakes and lizards and rabbits are a usual visitor to their yard (freaks me out!!!!!)  Aubree stayed the night and so did Spencer so I am sure Jade is drinking heavily this morning. 

Even though life is so busy and you complain about having no free time I can't imagine what my life would be without my family and friends.  I am blessed beyond words, especially for Nate and Aubree.  My biggest blessing is being married to a man that has the ability to make his wife and daughter feel like they are his sun, moon and stars.  Everybody has issues and trials but I am so happy that I get to share mine with Nate and have the comfort at the end of everyday that he is there for me and loves me and absolutely worships his little girl.
