Well It's officially summer here. It's been nice and warm, and full of summer fun
for his mission. It was a wonderful way for us to kick off our summer. My parents and Grammie. got to watch Finn the whole day while we were in the temple. I don't know who our families were more happy to see, us or Finn? (Who are we kidding, it's the baby)
It was such a quick turn around trip, but it was so nice to have meals with family
and friends, to just catch up and have Finn see so much more of his family. That is one loved little boy. Our last morning in California was spent packing the car and just playing pass the baby.
After getting home, the following weekend was Memorial Day. Mike had to work, but we made a big breakfast and spent the morning at the park, having a picnic and playing. The weather was beautiful, it was such a great way to spend time just our little family. We tried to get on the swings but there was so many people we just took a walk and played on the blanket.
Our most favorite thing about summer though, is our time at the water park. It's nothing too big, but the cost and amount of people work for us. We spend as much time as we can there. They have a kids pool area as well as slides for the older kids and adults. I thought Mike was going to spend every waking moment at the slides. But This man was not far from his boy. We loved seeing how much Phineas loved the the "big tubby" After 4 hours in that pool. Our little water baby did not want to leave.

Last week my mom was in town, so she watched Finn a couple of days. It kills her to live so far away. But she got some one on one with him ans well as time with her other grand babies. We were able to take pictures. We haven't all been together in years. I love having all of my siblings living here and so close.
But of all these things. The most important thing we got do these last couple of weeks was celebrate Mike's first official Father's day. We didn't do much. He just wanted to spend the day at home relaxing and spending the day with no Sunday meetings, no chores, just family time.
This amazing man works so hard to make sure that Phineas and I want for nothing. He comes home everyday, and before setting down his keys and unpacking his lunch he asks me how my day was, how Finn was and leans over to kiss his sleeping boy.
Nothing makes this man more proud then being a dad. The bond and love that those boys share is beyond anything. They both light up when they see each other. I was madly in love with Mike when I married him. But the love that grows after seeing this amazing man with our son, is like nothing I could have imagined.
