Father's Day

Rob has been in Paris all week, he is flying home today and I have been counting the hours until his flight lands from the minute we dropped him off on Sunday. Life is crazy right now and I just feel like I can deal with it a lot easier when he is around. I am so grateful for how hard he works to support our family, we sure do love him and miss him like crazy when he is gone.

He left on Father's Day so we had our dinner on Saturday and breakfast before he left on Sunday. Of course the best way for me to show him how much I love him is to make him good food. We did buy him a new tie, but really he prefers the food.

For dinner we had Pork Carnitas, these are going on our favorite list. My kids don't normally like tacos, but they all asked for seconds.

Samantha checked out a Whoopie recipe book from the library, these were the first recipe we tried and they were so good!! I promise I will share the recipe soon!!

And then we made Rob's favorite Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast, I promise to also share this recipe.

Also, I bought a jumbo icing tip and now I am a piping fool, it makes everything look so pretty I can't help myself.

My kids are so lucky to have such an amazing Dad!! I love you Rob, for forever and a day!!

Father's Day Part 2

I have said before and I will say it again, my kids are so lucky to have such an awesome Dad, we sure do love him!!

For dinner on Father's day we decided to go to our favorite picnic spot in Diamond Fork Canyon and cook some dutch oven. Rob's sister now lives close by so we invited them to come with us.

While we were cooking dinner the kids decided to climb around, we had warned them about rattle snakes, and the next thing we knew Samantha and Hunter came barreling down the hill screaming. While climbing they had heard a rattle snake and Hunter had even spotted it in a bush. They were not very adventurous the rest of the time we were there. After we had eaten dinner we did walk with them over to the arch so they could do some climbing.

      

Dinner was delicious and once the sun started setting it cooled down to a nice temperature. It was the perfect way to celebrate the kids amazing Dad!!

Father's Day Part 1

For Father's day weekend we decided to head down and check out Yuba lake, we have driven by so many times on our way south and have always wanted to stop, I don't know what took us so long.

The beaches are so nice and sandy and the water was nice. The kids built sand castles and had a ton of fun playing in the water.

           

          

We have been trying to find the perfect lake for us with all that surround us and I think Yuba is it. We can't wait to go back and camp on the beach!!
