Best weekend ever!

I know I say that every time, but come on! This weekend I went to an overnight scrapbooking get-a-way on Friday, and then on Saturday had my house FILLED with family! It does not get better than that!
My darling, handsome, sweet, amazing husband held down the fort while my mom, Jenna, Trulie and I cropped to our hearts content at an overnighter in Idaho Falls. You know, after being slightly obsessed with digital over the past year, it was really fun to get back to my "roots" and create with paper, plus being surrounded by such awesome gals really inspires. We headed back to Rexburg on Saturday evening, where the boys (and kids) were waiting with dinner on the table, courtesy of Dustin. Now, get ready to drool: Made from scratch Alfredo sauce with fettuccine, chicken, and shrimp, garlic bread, with and without tomatoes, and - the frosting on the cake - BTS cake with HOME MADE whipped cream. Well, doesn't he know the way to a girl's heart???


After dinner, we had a little party for Garret and Trulie's little guy, Jace, who turned 1 on Wednesday. He had his own little cake to destroy, and he held up his end of the bargain. Of course, Jenna's little Preslie couldn't just stand by and watch, she helped too. It was adorable! She will be ready for her turn in about 4 months! Luckily, my little sugar fiend had gone to bed early and missed out on the frosting festival - or else I'm sure he's still be bouncing off the walls. I was sad to have him miss out on that funny photo op, but I know if he were to find out it was acceptable to have an entire cake to yourself to do what you please with, I'd never get him to eat real food again!





Sunday was fun for me as well, I made pretty much every one pose for pictures for me. I love having cute pics of everyone on hand, and I was glad they turned out cute - although with these subjects, no picture is a bad picture!

I know Dustin had a good weekend, too, he is such a great Dad and loves spending time one-on-one with the kiddos. He had some play time, as well; he borrowed and tractor and tiller and got the pasture and garden spot whipped into shape, and let Kennedy help him plant some new trees. I hope he knows how much I love him, he is the best! He didn't even bat an eye about taking over at home so I could go play with the girls, and it is so nice to be able to go and relax, and not worry one little bit about what is going on back at the ranch...XOXO Dustin!


PS - We missed you, Nate... I mean "Joe" :)
