Dave's Birthday

I totally surprised Dave this year for his birthday. We made him a nice breakfast then blindfolded him and drove all over Logan. We ended up at the Logan airport where I had arranged for a flying lesson. He was totally shocked and so excited. The kids got to fly in the back and Dave did the lift off and flew all around Logan. It couldn't have been more perfect.Dave, the kids and instructor walking to the plane.
We ended the day with a fancy dinner at Elements. The kids actually loved their food, it was such a fun way to celebrate Dave's birthday.

Are You Kidding Me?

Dave continues to amaze me. He just ran the Ogden Marathon and did fabulously! He was a little sore after but other than that he accomplished an amazing goal and made us all so proud to call Dad. Matthew also ran a Kid's K which he loved and did well at. I think he has running in his gene's too.
I kid you not there were around 500 kids that ran this kid's K. Thank goodness he did not wear his green shirt so I could tell where he was.
My darling sister and Mom came to support Dave as he crossed the finish line. What inspiration it is to see all those people coming in. My sweet family all met at my mom's home afterward for a congratulatory lunch in Dave's honor. After all this is a HUGE accomplishment. (Lexie was at a YW pre-camp overnighter so she was not with us)

Mother's Day was sweet!

Dave had to work on Mother's day so we celebrated on Saturday. Jeff, Jana and kids all came up for the weekend. It was so fun being with them and all going to Hamilton's for their Mother's Day breakfast. It would have all been totally perfect if Matthew wasn't being a pill as you can see from the picture. He did not want to eat anything. We all loved the crepes, bacon, fruit, omlettes - okay you get the picture. Jana and I went shopping afterwards and then Dave made a yummo ribs and potato dinner for all of us. How did I get so lucky? Everyday I am truly thankful and humbled for all I have and especially for the blessing of being a wife and mother to two of the greatest kids ever.
I don't know what got into Matthew but it better not happen again next year.
