Happy Father's Day

For the last ten days, my family has been enjoying a little time in Bear Lake, Utah. Some of you may know that Jamie's family has a cabin on the lake and that it happens to be my husband's favorite place on the planet. Honestly, I don't know if he could have made it through med school without spending most of his summers up there. It is even more fun to go there these days with these little kids of ours. Our boys love it! For the last eight months, Ethan has been waking up early every morning (like 5:30) to come downstairs and wait on our carpet (with his blanket) until he hears Jamie's alarm clock. Then he gets in the shower with him and sits on our counter while Jamie gets dressed for the sole purpose of talking about Bear Lake. They have the same conversation every morning describing in detail all of the things they will do when they get to Bear Lake again. Tractor rides, play on the beach, sailing, four wheelers, roasting marshmellows, jet skiing to Sweetwater for an ice cream, over and over and over... This year he has added to his list of favorite activities since he tried being pulled behind the boat on a tube. I thought he might be scared, since Jamie was going quite fast, but the brave boy only smiled and then wouldn't get off without tears every time. Dallin also loved it and practiced standing in his surfing pose on the tube. I will definitely post some pics when I get home next week. We had a wonderful time catching up with some dear family and friends while we were there. It was perfect!
