Father's day

Yesterday was Father's day. We invited Matt's dad over and his brother and his boys over for dinner. (They are both divorced.) We made marinaded and grilled chicken breasts, oven roasted diced potatoes, a big green salad, steamed and sauteed green beans, and boiled beets from our garden. It was all very tasty! Then for dessert, Matt made apple boysenberry oatmeal cookie bars with homemade custard-style ice cream. It was too good!!! I had seconds and then ate was Beau didn't eat. Needless to say that when I stepped on the scale this morning, I had gained a pound. So well worth it! Then we just hung out in the back yard and watched the kids play together on the swingset. It was so nice to see the kids interact and get along so well and build relationships! Even Matt and Ben had a really good long talk. They didn't even leave until 10pm. I had already gone inside to put the baby to bed and call home to talk to my mom. I wanted to make sure she knew she was loved!
