Happy Anniversary/Father's Day, Husband!!!!

Poor Ben had to share Father's Day with our anniversary this year. So we celebrated our anniversary on Saturday and Father's Day on Sunday. Saturday started with Rexburg's annual air show. The three of us went when it was halfway through and a little less crowded. Let's just say every time the planes flew over us we would have to cover Lily's ears and I eventually had to take her home early because she was not a fan. That was totally understandable so I didn't mind. Here are a few pics of us at the show:

Later Ben and I started the celebrations for our second year of marriage. Our friends Deanna and Dave came over and watched Lily for us (thanks a ton, y'all!!! We appreciated it soooooo much!). On our way to Idaho Falls we realized we hadn't been on a real date by ourselves since last fall. So we've decided that needs to change..... anyway we started the night by eating at this place called "Bubba's." Here's a picture of Ben in BBQ heaven.... :) The food was so amazing (and surprisingly cheap!) that Ben requested leftovers for Father's Day dinner instead of anything else. Then we headed off to the theater to see "Up!" That was such a cute movie!!!!!

To be completely honest, Father's Day wasn't nearly as awesome as Saturday was. We started off the day at church and Lily was probably the worst she's ever been at church. We were trying everything to console her......naps, food, crawling everywhere, toys, etc. but nothing worked. When we got home she acted the same and finally the light turned on: teething. So I stuck my finger in her mouth and lo and behold she has not one, not two, but three new teeth! Poor baby! Thank goodness for Orajel and teething rings because she was much happier for the rest of the day and so Ben was able to relax a little more. Ben just wanted a day of relaxation so that's what he had. We just took it easy and then ate our Bubba's leftovers. :)

One of my favorite parts of the day is going in and checking on Lily right before we go to bed. She is always in the cutest positions. This was a little Father's Day present for Ben, I guess, because he ran for the camera as soon as he saw her sticking her honey buns in the air. :) (I really hope and pray that if my kids ever read our family blog they will forgive me for posting pictures like this).

I just want to say how grateful I am for all of the fathers in my life. I have my daddy, Ben's dad, grandfathers, adopted fathers, and a wonderful Heavenly Father. Each one has made a huge impact in my life and I am so grateful for them. I just read the other day that fathers are the ones who do all the heavy digging for your sandcastle and then tell you that you've done a good job. It's so true. Fathers are such a wonderful part of life and are great examples because of their selflessness. I hope all you fathers out there had a wonderful day that was well-deserved.
