Brian:  Enjoying a yummy dinner outside after working hard all day power washing the patio.  Aka, the cool of the evening.

Kathy:  Please notice how clean the windows are.  I washed them today.  I also made banana raspberry oatmeal muffins for my upcoming trip to Utah.  

Ty:  Dates with the girls today made me think about great times with my dad.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect example of fatherhood or a better friend.

Michelle:  Grateful for my dad this weekend. He's always been my biggest fan and advocate, and his children and grandchildren are his pride and joy. He's a great example to me of putting family first. 

Afton:  I got to go on my dream date tonight. A fancy dinner and a dance with my number one man. I'm so blessed to have an amazing dad!

Eliza:  I got to go on a swimming date with Dad again! After swimming like a fish, Dad had to wake me up from my nap.

Kathryn:  Grocery shopping prior to slushies and the park.  A fun date with Dad!

Josh: Layla has turned into a snuggler, especially after nap time.

Elizabeth:  I love sitting on the step and blowing bubbles with Layla!

Layla:  Pushing the shopping cart all by myself!

Joseph:  I spent a lot of time with my niece Tess.  This morning I took the grapes off the vine and she did the rest!

Jayna:  We had a picnic with Sarah and Kevin's family.  Tess loves Doritos.

Dallin:  Trying out my new fit bit.

Brian:  My vestibular system is out of whack tonight!

Kathy:  I'm so excited to start planting flowers . . . but it still need to warm up a bit more!

Ty:  I became a flight commander today.  This is a corner of my new office.

Michelle:  I didn't get a picture of myself on this crazy day (see Kathryn's picture for one of the many examples why).  But this picture is about how I felt.  And not just at the end of the day.

Afton:  Just some light reading before bed.

Eliza:  I've decided not to sleep during nap time anymore, even though I'm usually asleep by the time Mom or Dad leave the room at night.

Kathryn:  Today Mom learned that shaving cream is the best method for getting nail polish out of carpet.

Josh:  Treating patients in the pool today!

Elizabeth:  I'm so happy when Layla takes 2 good naps during the day!

Layla:  Just contemplating life in the Walmart parking lot.

Joseph:  My home ward buddies and I attended a wedding in Manti.

Jayna:  Last week of work!

Dallin:  Just working.

Ty:  Afton gave me this picture of Little Critter's family.

Michelle:  My incredible husband gave me some delightful kid-free time today so I could go on a refreshing run down by the airfield this morning.

Afton:  Our next door neighbor's dad made him a pedal bike airplane, and I got to test drive it!

Eliza:  Our family is working on being more grateful.  Today I drew some pictures of things I am grateful for, and tried to remember to say thank you a lot.
