Fathers Day

We like to call this one--High and Tight. Here's my big, bad, Air Force Dad up above a few years ago in Idaho. I just have to say, he's not with us right now which makes me appreciate him even more. He's such a good dad! We love you, Ryan.
Then here is my own sweet father--you can tell how great he is just by the butterflies all around his head:). I've been blessed with such good men in my life and I'm so grateful for them. I wish I had a picture here of my father-in-law, grandpas, etc. What strong, stalwart men--in every sense of the word.
We are plugging away here in Idaho and I even got to go on a Fathers Day Date via my sister and her husband. I'm sure they were thrilled to have me along. My sister, Steph, has been taking good care of us and has helped me to keep training for the up and coming Tin Cup Challenge--HALF marathon that is coming up. This Idaho air is killing me but hopefully, the thinness of it won't affect me too much:) Love you all, and hope you have a great Fathers Day even if the men in your life are no where to be found.

Idaho

Here's a shot of me 3 years ago when we came to stay with my parents for the first time while Ryan went to basic training--De Ja Vu! Except I'm not 7 months pregnant this time:-)

We pulled up to my parents empty house yesterday. They are still down in Texas for few more weeks so we've got the run of the house. The kids are happy to be here and have been out in the cold Idaho air riding their bikes and looking the place over. Elsie is a bit confused by it all and has started things out with a few accidents to get us over the excitement. We'll be here for 11 weeks and look forward to hiking, riding horses, cleaning out the skunk smell in my parents house, and being with cousins. The summer is going to be very fun! We are just sad that we'll be missing so many friends coming through Utah while we are here. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine wherever you are. Somehow we all got so spread out. . .I hate that!
