A Great Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday and today. Yesterday we were in Loveland for my nephew's 8th birthday (tomorrow's post) and since we did a joint gift we gave it to my dad yesterday. 
 My dad and I have a contest every holiday to see if we can make each other cry. Not mean but just to see who can get the most sentimental gift or card. This year my card was good but he was able to hold it together but the calendar did it! He teared up while looking at his calendar I made just for him!
And the kids had a blast playing with Popa on the floor! This made us all laugh!
 I love kids!

 Then we celebrate today too. We spent most of our day just lounging around because that's what Miah wanted to do. Then we headed over to my parents house to have dinner. Mom and I cooked steaks, tater tots, salad, and corn on the cob. I'm proud of the picture below because Rex finally figured out how to eat corn on the cob! And he loved it!

 He's so cute! I love his little faces he makes!
 After dinner we ate some chocolate chip cookies. Rex really enjoyed them. Miah played with him and started saying, "Can I have your cookies please? Please let me have your cookies?" and Rex just kept laughing and laughing. it was so cute! There is a video at the bottom of this cute interaction between them.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Today I'm thankful for the snow outside and the fact that it has kept my hubby home with us today and the fact that just using google and a few other blogs for ideas I was able to find out how to make a link up!  Link ups are fun and I can't wait to read what everyone else is thankful for this month! Grab the button, link up, follow along or just read!

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
