4 weeks down

for real? Almost a whole month of summer gone. I really can't believe it. I also am having a hard time remembering what we did this last week.
My parents came up on Thursday for my Dad's Dr. app on Friday. They brought Diesel, my Dad's new 7 week old puppy and the kids were in heaven playing with him. He's super cute and tiny and spunky.
Sam and I took my parents to the Melting Pot for dinner on Saturday to celebrate Father's day and my Mom's 60th birthday, which is today! It was fun and delicious but my Dad wasn't feeling well, which was kind of a bummer, but we still had a good time.
On Wednesday and Thursday night we had the tent set up in the back yard for the kids to sleep in. The girls had friends over on Wednesday then Bryce and Gracie and McKay slept out there on Thursday. That is likely the only camping that they will be doing this summer because Sam hates camping...always, and I am in no shape to go camping right now.
On Saturday we did some landscaping and cleaning up of our back yard and it looks really nice. However, as usual I did more of the manual labor than was good for me, which isn't hard to do because the amount that is good for me is NONE, and I was in lots of pain for the rest of the weekend. I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore. I just want to be able to move without hurting. It's nice to have the yard done though. Done for now anyway, there will always be more we can do.
Sunday of course was Father's Day and I being in my weakened state (see above) did pretty much nothing special for Father's Day. Sorry Sam. In fact, Sam and the kids got up and made a big breakfast for everyone, eggs, bacon, pancakes. He rocks!! The kid's gave him some Father's Day gifts earlier. Nate's gift to Sam was Nate getting a hair cut. Bryce gave him a cool Bronco thing that he got at the Sunshine Festival and McKay gave him a picture frame that he made at school with a picture of him in it. My gift to him was helping to get the yard finished which is something that he has wanted for a long time. I even let him through away some stuff that I wasn't sure I wanted thrown away. That's big for me. I know, overall pretty lame on my part as far as making it a special day goes, but it is what it is and Sam seemed happy anyway.
So 7 more weeks of Summer! We still need to go to Pirates' Cove, and The 24th of July Celebration, and Breckenridge, and.... I can't remember. What else was on the list?
