Parker in Eden

Eden, Utah

This weekend we went to Spencer’s parents place in Eden with Tasha and Josh. We were supposed to go boating on the lake there and we pulled a boat all the way up there only to put it in the water and get as far as the dock before we realized it was done. Spencer paddled it back in from the dock and loaded it back on the trailer and we didn’t use it again. I swear that is so my luck. That happened to me in Lake Powell one year with Stephanie and Ashley. Then it happened with Summer and Sean twice at Utah Lake. Oh well. It actually turned out totally fine. We had a really good time and it was nice to just relax.
We just hung out at the house and went swimming, ate dinner together, watched movies in the theatre and sat in the hot tub. It’s fun just talking to those two. We get along really well as couples because I think we are a lot alike. I love Tasha so much. She keeps me calm about being a mom, makes me realize it’s great to just go with the flow a little more and not stress about the little things. I liked watching her with Asher. She is a really good mom.

I loved driving there with them, going past our exit five times, having Asher scream and Josh on edge, pulling over at a gas station so I could feed Parker and make PB& J’s on the back of a truck sitting on the cooler (just like my mom would do). I loved putting the boys to bed, getting up in the morning and hearing Asher throw something down the stairs. I loved taking a nap and alternating with our husbands on child care. I loved kind of working out with them, Tash and Josh going running, me and Spence at the gym. Then swimming at the pool. I loved being in the car together. Laughing at Asher and Parker playing tug of war with toys and how they are already determined that it is “theirs!” and Parker’s death grip that wins out even though he’s younger. I loved sitting by the lake and skipping rocks with the little boys eating rocks and sand. I loved frozen yogurt at Maverick and sitting on the grass for an hour afterward just like it used to be when we were little in the middle of the summer. I loved cooking breakfast for our husbands for Father’s Day and having them get in bed together to eat it. Then trying to have a little celebration but trying to keep Asher and Parker entertained and occupied with something other than spilling ketchup on the floor and finally giving up and just realizing that’s how things are these days; breakfast in bed isn’t what it used to be, but that’s okay. I loved being in church and trying to entertain two crazy boys, sharing treats and Tash saving me when I forgot my diaper bag with Parker’s distraction toys. And I LOVED most of all sitting out on the deck after the boys had gone to bed and eating dinner, talking forever and enjoying an incredibly beautiful view. It was a perfect weekend. God knows what we need for sure.
