This one is for you dad...

We are going through some old pictures and video and came across this gem! Here is to remembering happy times and having hope for the future. Happy Father's Day to the greatest Dad on Earth!!! We love you dad!

My Mother

The sweetest Lady I know. She will do anything for me. Even bring me a big fat Dr. Pepper, when I really, really needed one. Thanks Mom!!!

Family Picnic - Backyard Style

The sun was shining outside for a short while today and thus we decided to take advantage with a little family picnic. We are going to sound a little prideful here - but - the burgers we made were mouth wateringly, yes that is a word, delicious. We were wishing we had made more once we were done. Then we simply relaxed as a family, playing uno and enjoying the sun while it lasted.

Rained Out

We decided to take the boys on a walk last Sunday. We were half way around the park, here by our home, when it started to sprinkle. The sprinkle quickly turned into a down pour, and then finally it began to hail. We were running as fast as we could with the stroller - and when the hail began to pelt the boys little legs, they cried. I think it scared them more than anything. We finally made it home sopping wet but laughing about the experience. We had to take a couple pics to remember this little family adventure in the rain.

Sweet Eli

My little Eli had quite the day today. He woke up early and Dad decided to take him to work for a couple of hours to give Mom a break. He had a lot of fun, was very sweet and I hear quite the little charmer. Dad was proud to show him off. Everyone loved him!

Sadly this afternoon he broke his leg. Poor little guy. Short version - He was falling and Nate grabbed his leg to catch him. It was just a weird fall, catch and twist. Dad felt sooo bad. He was pretty content and happy as long as I was holding him and you didn't touch his leg. He was even laughing at the doctor's office. He was however a little grumpy tonight, although he has been that way for awhile with all he has had going on. Teeth, ear infections, up all night coughing, tubes, and now his poor little leg.

They put a splint on in case he has swelling. He will get his cast in a few days.

Tube Day

The boys got tubes put in their ears on Wednesday morning. Later that day we took them to Doug and Emmy's. You would never guess they just had surgery. They were so good the entire time we were there.
