my husband hates country music and crowds. but friday night when we were presented with the opportunity to go to tim mcgraw for free an hour before the concert started, he didn't hesitate to say "let's go!" because he knew how much i would love it. we went straight from hire's and only had a yoga mat to sit on, no blanket. the two of us had so much fun together, me jamming out to tim, him making fun of it, and both of us dancing and people watching the whole time.
saturday morning daws worked while i babysat our nieces and we both came home and worked in the yard together. we then took our dogs to the pond, went shooting with friends, out to dinner, and played games. it was such a fun saturday together!
our nieces! seriously, look how cute they are.
we also snatched this antique sewing table from my in-laws' storage and put some miracle restore oil on it. it's looking great in our pioneer home.
it works so i better learn how to sew...
yesterday, FATHERS' DAY, was awesome! we had dinner at my uncle mike's with my family. my uncle is on this kick for the vitamin niacin. he explained all of the health benefits and had us all take one. everyone had different reactions to it, but those of us who had the less favorable reactions had their skin turn red and itchy and hurt like a sunburn all over your body. it was truly awful, i felt like i was on fire for 20 minutes. my cousins all had a blast watching each other go through torture though!
i've been wood burning lately and this is a little something i made my dad for fun for fathers' day. it's true, my dad is one of the coolest people i know and i am so blessed to be his daughter! it is truly an amazing thing to have a dad who is constantly supporting you and who you know you can turn to for help with ANYTHING! i owe everything i am to him and my mom. i am so grateful to live close to him and to have him for a best friend. he is constantly taking care of us and making life an adventure!
i am also blessed to have such an amazing father-in-law who is also constantly helping and supporting us. he has always truly cared about me and been interested in my life and what's important to me. he wants the best for his family and is a good friend to each of us! and besides that, he raised the man of my dreams.
i am always feeling blessed to have dawson as my husband, but when i think about him being the father of my kids i feel so overwhelmed with gratitude. i wouldn't want my future kiddos to have anyone else as a father, they are going to be extremely lucky! i know he will be amazing when that time comes.
