Father's Day Weekend

Ahhhh.......there's nothing like a weekend at the cabin! And it was well-deserved, after a week of being a single mom for me, and loads of homework and a crappy work schedule for Gerritt!

It was SO beautiful up there - everything was so green!



I took Max on some little hikes and we both loved it. Still can't get the kid to pee on a tree, but at least he can hold it for a long time.





My Mom got an idea to make a playhouse cabin out of lincoln logs - REAL ones. So, they went into Heber and bought a chainsaw, and got to work!






We are so grateful for the Father's in our lives - we have been so blessed to have such hardworking, loving, amazing men in our family. I couldn't ask for a better Father for my boys, that's for sure! We love you!

The linkin log house is awesome! I'm glad you guys had a good time in the mountains. It's always so nice to get away from civilization for a while.

i used to make lincoln log furniture with my bff when we were 10. (with scraps of wood from contruction) one time we made a whole new "bedroom set" for her room and spent the afternoon taking out all of her real furniture and replacing it with our better stuff.

her mother was unhappy.
