We love you Daddy

I just wanted to post a quick update. We had a great Fathers-Day. We were a little tired because we stayed up really late with visiting family (love you Jen, Matt, Ani and Cray) but we made it through. I had to give a talk in church so Lance got to man the girls all by himself. He did perfect! I only heard the girls once. Then after our meeting we went to our nephews ordination into the priesthood. It was really special not only because our nephew made that big step in his life but also because almost all of our family was there to support him. We spent the afternoon eating, always eating, and visiting with family. Then back to our house to relax and enjoy our own little family. All in all it was a great day. I just want say how much I love my husband! He is a wonderful daddy, a loving husband, and a great man. I love you honey. Thanks for everything.

Lessons Learned

We took the girls boating on Sat. with some of our friends. It was sort of an early fathers-day gift for Lance who, by the way, can still land his back flips on the wakeboard. Go Lance! Well during a break the kids were standing on the back deck of the boat getting their feet wet when I heard a splash. Adri fell into the river. My heart jumped into my throat! It was one of those moments were I was standing right there by the kids but looked away for that split second and well...I knelt down, reached for her hand and pulled her in. Ari was so brave! Wide eyed and scared but she didn't panic. She kicked her legs and was reaching for the boat. Hate to say it but it was an excellent lesson for the kids, especially for Adri, on the reason why mom and dad insist that they wear their life jackets at all times when we are by the river or on the boat. All the kids had theirs on by the way. Anyways long story short; Adri was safe, both her and Myka learned a valuable lesson, I got soaked in my clothes and Lance can still land his back flips. Good job honey!

A little girl time.

Friday morning the girls and I got to lounge in bed watching a movie. After the movie was over we decided to go out to the donut shop and spoil ourselves. Adri had a chocolate donut, Myka had a pink donut and I had about half of a cinnamon swirl donut (the girls ate the other half). We packed up a donut to go, for Lance, and headed out to do some much needed shopping. Then rounded off our morning by stopping by Lances work to give him his donut. It was so nice simply being with my girls. I have a feeling we are going to make little outings for treats a tradition.
