We had a great weekend.

It all started with what was supposed to be a kid-free dinner with our friends Anya & Sam. Until, for the life of me, I couldn't find a babysitter for Nate. So, we turned it in to pizza and swimming in my parent's backyard. Which is a great option for us in the summer! Nate adores Anya's boys - Noah and Ikey. They play and play without any fighting!



On Saturday, we decided to do something a little different with Nate. We took him out to Boulder City to ride the train. It was a perfect Saturday morning activity for Nate. He was so excited to ride a "choo-choo" and was totally content the entire time on the train. After our ride, we had delicious root beer floats at the A&W in town.







Then it was straight to grandma & papa's for our usual Saturday afternoon activity - the pool. Nate was really tired so he went straight to bed when we got there and he slept for 3.5 hours . . . and that was only because we finally woke him up at 4:30! It was such a relaxing afternoon for Wes and I. I spent the entire time outside on a raft reading while Wes alternated between the pool and watching sports inside. Nate played outside for a bit before we headed home.




We took Nate on a long walk to get some of his energy out. He now prefers to push his bike instead of ride it. It comes in handy when you're trying to tire him out!


And today? Fathers Day. It was a nice Sunday at home with our little family. When Nate woke up from his nap, I went in to get him and told him I needed help getting daddy's presents out. As soon as he heard the word presents . . . he said, "cake?" I thought it was pretty funny. He somehow already knows that presents bring cake.
Nate and I are very grateful for Weston R. He's such a fabulous dad to Nate . . . always taking him to do fun things and making him laugh. Nate loves his daddy . . . and so do I! Happy Fathers Day, Wes. Thanks for all you do.
We're also both very grateful for our dads . . . they rock!

What a perfect weekend. I have a question though - are those gorgeous flowers living at your parent's house? If so, your mom is out of control. Amazing. If not, I would still expect something that cool from your mom :)

And a train ride? Man, you're good.
