So this past week was just great. On Tuesday I dropped Kolby off at the airport for a business trip and I headed to Coalville for a few days. That night my mom, sister, brother, and I went to City Creek. It was my first time and it was a pretty fun place. We ate at Cheesecake Factory and just had a good time being together. I also bought Hudson a swimming pool at Target. I had been wanting to for awhile and was excited to get it home and try it out!

On Wednesday we put up the new pool (I was the most excited out of anybody) and Hudson played in it for hours. I just love that little boy!
That night we went boating at Echo and bbq'd hamburgers (two must have summer activities). Hudson loved boating and feeling the air on his face. I have to admit it was relaxing for me too.

Thursday came and Hudson and I joined Kolby's mom, brother, and sister at Park City Mountain Resort to have some fun on the alpine slide. And it was so fun! We also took Hudson on the carousel before I had to leave to pick up Kolby.
Since I had to grab the dog and swimming pool at my parent's house, we drove back and stopped at the outlets on our way. We got a few great deals at Children's Place and Carters, took a break to eat a cookie at Mrs. Field's, and just enjoyed each other's company after spending time apart for a few days. After picking up our belongings in Coalville, we headed home, but not before stopping at the Burger Bar in Roy for dinner. We love that place and it always reminds me even more that it's summer when we are there. Love it! We finally made it back to Logan with full bellies and lots of laundry! Friday was just a day of doing that laundry but Saturday brought back more summer fun. I drug out the pool and Hudson, along with some neighbor kids, played in it for hours. I'd say it was a pretty great buy if it will keep kids occupied for that long! That night we went and hit a few balls at the driving range and then grilled some hot dogs for dinner. More summer activities! I love summer!
Sunday, father's day, was fabulous. It helps that I have a fabulous father and a fabulous husband to honor on that day! Hudson and I gave Kolby a golf bag and golf glove followed by a pancake breakfast. A good start to the day! After church, where Kolby was spoiled with a donut bar in priesthood, we came home to relax. We called our dads, napped, and went for a ride. All relaxing activities for a Sunday afternoon! As I relaxed, I thought about all of the things I love about my father and my husband. I thought I would share some of them:
My dad:
-the best dad in the world!
-the best grandpa to Hudson!
-always takes time for me
-taught me the gospel and was a good example of it in our home
-taught me to work
-loves to have fun and surprised us lots as I grew up
-always made sure we never went without even if it meant sacrificing himself
-supported us in everything and still does
*this list could go on and on for days but these are a few things I love about my dad!
My husband:
-the best husband in the world!
-the best daddy to Hudson!
-compliments me even when I don't deserve it
-loves me for me
-uses a coaster without being asked (very important in my house)
-works hard
-is a good example in our home
-surprises me with flowers or just a thoughtful text when I need it most
-makes me laugh
*this list could also go on and on
I just had to insert these lists to remind myself how lucky I am to have my wonderful father and my fantastic husband in my life! I am richly blessed!
We ended our father's day with steaks on the grill and watching "We Bought A Zoo", a great ending to a great day!
