Father's Day Weekend

What a great time we had this weekend!  We started the weekend off on Saturday morning getting up at the loverly time of 5:30 am to go to our 5k that we signed up for.  We ran the Running with Angels 5k.  We love this race with a pashion!  It may only be a 5k but memories are timing are great!  We laugh and joke about it becuase 6 years ago when the race was first organized, I ran the race with my friend Jackie, and little did I know Don's mom and two sisters ran the race that year as well.  Don and I didn't meet up until about 3 months later...  good karma right?  :)  Anyway so we ran the race.  Getting not the best time in the world but a time that we both can work on improving.  We have decided to make this a yearly thing from now on.  I con only hope to improve my time each year. 

 Don, me and the girls

Tyson, me, Don, Kristy, Suzy and the girls.  Paula, Don's mom, was there as well... she is the one taking the pictures.  Thanks for a great run this year guys!  Looking forward to next year.  :)

We then invited friends over for a BBQ, and had a blast catching up.  I love the wonderful friends that are in my life.  They are very supportive, understanding and helpful.  I can't imagine my life without each and everyone of them.  A public THANK YOU for all that you do for Don and I and our family!  

We ended the day with the dads staying home with the youngest children while Danielle and I took our oldest to see Toy Story 3... in 3D.  Now and good as it was, Aubrey really didn't keep her glasses on the whole time, and it was fun seeing the improvement on the screen... but from now on I will not waist my money with kids seeing something in 3D.  On the other hand, the movie was wonderful!  I loved the story line and humor in it.  It was a great way to end the Toy Story line.  I do think it is one movie that I will be getting when it comes out.  I especially loved the moral to the story line.  

Sunday was move of a relax day.  We are lucky enough, (if that is what you call it) to have the one o'clock church so sleeping in was a must!  But the girls had other plans... so Don slept in and we got up and did our thing.  Around eleven, I had Aubrey go in and wake him up.  She is so cute with trying to wake him up... she whispers.  Then went to church.  When we came home the girls totally crashed.  Rebecca usually has 2 naps in the day and by the time we got home at 4:30 she had been awake for 7 hours... WAY too long.  So needless to say they were ready for a nap.  Aubrey was so cute and crashed on the couch in the living room... and not ten minutes later, Don's family called and invited us to dinner.  So Don went and spent some time with his family on Father's day and celebrated their dad while the girls slept.  I am glad that he got to spend time with his family. 

I am so grateful to have a man in my life that chooses to provide for our family, help with the home and family, be a worthly preisthood holder and love us with his whole heart!  You are amazing in all that you do!  Thank you for choosing me to share our time left on earth together and then for eternity!  Happy Father's Day Don!
