weren't allowed upstairs and so they played video games all evening long downstairs. Everyone slept over and the next morning we had a HUGE breakfast full of bacon and sausage, waffles and eggs. Thanks girls for a wonderful time!After the girls went home, I was feeling random and decided to go up to Bear Lake with Porter and my brother Shane and nephew Dexter for the day. 
Some of my extended family members were spending the weekend up there and I thought it would be fun to spend a day with them. So we 
packed up my car with treats and lake toys and took off for the day. It has been a tradition in my family for years and years to head up to Bear Lake every summer. My Dad's parents started going with their family and my Great Grandparents when my Dad was very young. I remember camping up there almost every summer while growing up! I have so many wonderful memories of Bear Lake and think it 
is such a great family tradition. So I was super excited to take Porter there for his first time! It was also his first time swimming and for the most part he loved it! He was a little hesitant when we first put him in his little crab floater (he was so cute in it) but quickly adjusted. We had so much fun and loved the water. After playing in his floater for a while, we put him in his little bumbo near the shoreline and 
he sat and splashed in it for over a half an hour. The waves would come and splash over his lap and he loved it. I got some way cute pictures of him with his cute little sun hat. My aunt DeAnn was such a life saver and let us use 
her camper to change Porter and get him to nap. That was extremely helpful. She even babysat him while my cousin Carrie and I went swimming for a while. I didn't get any pictures of Shane and Dexter because they were clear out in the raft the whole time and when they came back my camera died.. :( so hopefully next time I will get more pictures. Even though we were only there 
for half a day, we had tons of fun and will hopefully be able to go up soon again. Porter cried and cried the whole way home. Poor little guy. Shane and Dexter were extremely patient and took turns feeding him his bottle in the car. The day after we got home he had a really bad cold so he was probably just starting to come down with it that day..not fun.
That Sunday all of my brothers and sisters and their spouses and my cute nieces and nephews and my sister Natashas boyfriend and my Dad went up to Nun's Park to have a picnic. We had hoagie sandwiches, salads, chips, vegies and fruit and chocolate cake for dessert! :) It was so
relaxing and peaceful up there. It felt so good to get away from everyday life for a while and relax up there. It was so cool up in the mountains compared to the upper 90 degree weather that we have been experiencing. We had a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful time!Last week, we celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday. 60 years old.. how exciting is that. On his actual birthday, Paul and I took him out to eat at Tucanos Brazillian Grill. That is our absolute 
favorite place to eat and my Dad had never been there before so we thought it would be a great place to go. We ate and ate and ate until we popped. The waiters and waitresses sang to my Dad and made him dance which was halarious and we got it on video. Then last Sunday we had my 
Dad's birthday party at my sister Donna's and brother in law Geoff's house. They put on an awesome barbecue and we had tons of wonderful food and my Dad received some awesome birthday gifts. We had a wonderful night spending time with family and celebrating my Dad's birthday. HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY DADDY! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
