Father's Day and the Ames!

...or is it Ameses?  Probably Ameses, but that seems weird. 

Either way, we had a blast on Father's Day weekend when they came down.  Thanks, Shawn, Kailey, and McCoy!  We love having visitors! 

Unfortunately, Robbie ended up having to work that weekend, so he missed out on a lot of the fun.  But we sure had fun while he was working hard!


This was the most common view I had of my son.  He LOVED to run away from pregnant mommy.  Giggling all the way.....

We went to the grocery store and got lucky, finding one of the carts with the car on the front.  Dax drove while McCoy periodically honked the horn.  They LOVED it!

Bear Lake with the Allreds

A few weeks ago, we went up to Bear Lake with Robbie's family.  We have been staying at a great cabin that somehow manages to fit twelve adults (three of which are pregnant.  'Nuff said.) and sixteen grandchildren.  It's really quite the place.  We spent all our time sleeping, laughing, eating, wading in the lake (40° water isn't all that rad when it's only 65° in the air), having the annual "Movie Night" (thanks, Sara!), and just plain having a good time!

The crappy thing is, that we realized we had left the cord for the camera charger somewhere, and we still don't know where that somewhere is.  Therefore, we have NO pictures of the entire weekend.  SO crappy.

However, I did manage to steal this photo from Eric Dowdle's website.  Every year, we do a puzzle of some sort.  When we FINALLY finished this puzzle the afternoon before we came home, we jointly decided that it either needed to be burned or framed.  It was the most difficult puzzle I, personally, had ever participated in completing.  It. Was. Completely. Ridiculous.
