We had a great Father's day yesterdy with the family. Our day started out with Aaron and I both giving Talks in church. It was not so bad..Aaron's father came to our ward. I was so nervous to speak but after it was done all went well. Aaron gave a great talk and the spirit was so strong. I had so many thoughts of my father and miss him so much. We had a Dutch Oven cook out in the canyon after church. It was so nice to see all the cousins, aunts and uncles,and family that came to make it a great day. We don not all get together that much..so it was alot of fun seeing them. Jadon was so tired when he got home...He slept all night and took a long nap this morning. We have had a great summer so far. The kids are enjoying themselves, except for the chores.....They hate that. Our next big event is when my mom and Fred come to visit. I love it when they come see me. I will update later when there is more to share. Life is great.....

We suprised our kids and went to Las Vegas on the last day of school. They thought we were taking them to lunch and away we went. Kerstin was making plans with all her friends, Jordan was plannning night games with his friends, and Kassidy was just happy going to lunch. I was so excited to break them the news. It was half an hour before things started to get hard to stay quiet. Kerstin was freaking out and wanted to make sure we woud be home at a certain time. Aaron and I just were laughing and making the kids more irritated. So, Aaron said we would give them a clue. He started playing the Lion King Soundtrack. We had tickets to the show in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay. They were so funny...Disneyland was the first guess, of course. We finally broke the news and suddenly they were so excited. We had a great time and loved swimming, sightseeing, and going to the show. Jadon was so good there..He is such a great baby. It was a fun short, little trip and fun time for us all. The weather was awesome....What a blast.....Now for the rest of the summer........Bear LAke in August is next....and of course my mom coming to visit in July....
