Happy Father's day, Britton's Birthday, and Dallin's Homecoming

Today is such a special day.  Today we have the oppportunity to let our dad know, just how wonderful we think he is.  Hopefully each day we let him know that but today is special.  Today is also Britton's 11th birthday.  Britton opened his presents and they were a bow and arrow, madden 2012, a multi purpose knife, gum, water bottle, card game, and baseballs.  He is such a fun kid to buy for, he loves everything.  We decorated the kitchen for Britton's birthday and Father's Day.  We made Dan breakfast.  We cut up red and orange bell pepper, onion, ham, tomatoes and sauteed them in butter.  Then we cut another yellow pepper and sliced it like a flower and poured an egg mixture inside.  Then we topped the bell pepper omelet with our sauteed mixture and added a little cheese on top.  Then we toasted the cinnamon swirl bread from Aspen Mills and Dan used his Bear Lake Raspberry jam on it.  It was a delicious breakfast and great start to the day.  Dan had no meetings today and was glad that he could sleep in.  Then we went to Dallin's homecoming.  Dallin did such an amazing job.  He was a great missionary and you could feel such an amazing spirit from him.  I am so grateful to have such awesome cousins for my boys to look up to.  Then we had a luncheon with the Gardner family.  The kids had fun playing together and we were able to visit with some of Dan's family.  After the lunch we went back to Grandpa and Grandma Gardner's and the kids were able to see the horses and play outside for a little bit.  Dad, Keith, and Brent gave Dan a blessing for his neck surgery tomorrow.  It calmed Dan and gave him peace.  We are so blessed to have the priesthood power on the earth today.  Then we came home and had a simple dinner and relaxed a bit.  Then we had cookie browines and ice cream for Britton's birthday.  Dan was able to get a Father's Day back rub and it was a good finish to a great day.
