My Fathers!

Happy Father's Day 

to my fathers. These are some great men!

Thanks for all you do for me!

Happy Fathers Day!

This Father's Day was great. 

I love that my kids have such an amazing Dad. 

They are very lucky and so am I.

This Father's day was even more special because we had company. 

Extra Father's to celebrate!!

Happy Father's Day and some other stuff.

So I missed my usual Father's Day post on our Blog. 

 But here are some great men. I have been blessed with great men to be my fathers and to be my husband. I am so thankful for each one of them for some many different reasons. I count my blessings each day when it comes to them.

Now for some of the others....

Cullan drew the Tardis on this Etch A Sketch..

I mean seriously.. this is pretty good for being on an Etch A Sketch. 

I know I am his mom, but this kid has got some artistic talent. 

No big surprise. I mean look who his dad is!

 Also, the bugs in NC mean business. Usually when I post pictures like this, it is Briea. Nope this time it was Ayla. Garran and I were both paranoid at first thinking that she had lyme disease. But in the end we both agreed that it was probably just a reaction to a mosquito or spider bite. 

I just hate seeing my poor kids and their crazy reactions to stuff. 

Father's Day

Only A Dad

by Edgar A. Guest

Only a dad with a tired face, Coming home from the daily race, Bringing little of gold or fame To show how well he has played the game; But glad in his heart that his own rejoice To see him come and to hear his voice. Only a dad with a brood of four, One of ten million men or more Plodding along in the daily strife, Bearing the whips and the scorns of life, With never a whimper of pain or hate, For the sake of those who at home await. Only a dad, neither rich nor proud, Merely one of the surging crowd, Toiling, striving from day to day, Facing whatever may come his way, Silent whenever the harsh condemn, And bearing it all for the love of them. Only a dad but he gives his all, To smooth the way for his children small, Doing with courage stern and grim The deeds that his father did for him. This is the line that for him I pen: Only a dad, but the best of men.

Happy Father's Day

To my amazing husband who does so much for us and asks for so little in return. 

Our children are lucky to have you as am I.

Love You.

Happy Fathers Day!!

this year for fathers day  we decided to do something different.

instead of sending regular fathers day cards, we decided to try something that we thought would be much cuter. 

we made a cd for each grandpa and had the kids sing a song.

i think it came out pretty cute. 

of course it did not go according to plan, but i think that made it all the better.

here is what the grandpa's saw when they opened their packages that they got in the mail. the kids helped me design them!

and here is the video that was inside when the pushed play!

i realized now that we probably should have done it some other time, because the kids were just about to go to bed. so yes they are in their pjs. still cute though i have to say.

as for my own handsome hubby, this year we kept fathers day pretty simple. 

i surprised him this morning with a little note on the table.

then he got to pick his father's day dinner. 

chicken enchiladas!

other than that we are just going to relax at home and enjoy each others company.

unfortunately garran and i are both sick, so we did not go to church today.

hopefully we will be feeling better soon.

i am so thankful for garran and for the amazing father he is. 

i could not have asked for a better person or some one who is more fun to raise my kids with.

i love him more than he knows...and our kids do to!

workin!

this year I am actually kind of excited for father's day.

I have been working on some fun stuff for all the fella's in our lives!

mainly garran and the grandpas!

i will post my ideas after father's day.

don't want to give anything away.

Happy Father's Day!!

today has been a pretty laid back fathers day. we went to church, but had to leave early because briea had a reaction to something that we still can't figure out. her whole head is read and itchy. she was super blotchy and looks pitiful!! Anyways, we gave garran his father's day stuff yesterday! here are the kids giving it to him.they were so excited. they sure love their daddy!Happy Father's Day Garran!!

I could not ask for a better father for my kids! They are very lucky to have you.
Happy Fathers day also to all the Dad's in my life!
George, Jeff and Mike!!
Hope you guys had a great day too!

fathers day guest

my dad decided to come and visit for fathers day this year. so today we decided to give him a tour of our new town and find a fun place to play. we tried a new park that we had not tried yet. it was great. it had this big wooden castle. when I say that it was big, I mean it was HUGE!! the kids had a blast and we and fun watching them play.

 they boys loved this tire swing. i was amazed at how high the boys got. garran would just keep pushing them and they would squeal higher...higher. they are just crazy little boys!

 they also loved this zip line thing. they were so funny. i wish it was longer, but it was fun for what it was.

 here are the kids with my dad. we always try and get a group shot when he comes to visit.

"HAPPY PAPPY DAY!"

hope you have a great fathers day honey!

ps. happy fathers day to george, jeff, and mike too!!

Happy Father's Day!

I thought I would post about all the Dad's in my life. They all have great qualities. First my dads, George and Jeff. I love you both! Thanks for everything growing up and even still today. We are happy that we can all live close and enjoy being around each other.

I am also really lucky to have great in-laws, so the next one goes out to my father in law. I have always appreciated you making me feel like part of your family. I am glad that we also have lived close to your family so that we can all spend time together.

Last but not least Sargento! I could not ask for a better dad for my kiddos! He plays with them and loves them and teaches them all sorts of things. They think he is the coolest and want to be just like him. That makes me happy. I hope our boys turn out like him! I love you honey and am grateful for all the sacrifices you make for our family!
