Summer Fun

As a family we love the weekends because it brings us all together. Sometimes it's just the four of use (plus our furry creatures) but more often then not we have a few guests over. But for tonight we were guest free. The agenda for the night -- grilled chicken & hamburgers, corn on the cob (a family fav), swinging in the hammock, and S'mores by the campfire :)

Today we had the opportunity to spend some time running errands (oh joy!); I even convinced Jason to take us to the mall :)

Earlier on this week (one of the days it was 90+ degrees) we enjoyed some time in the sprinklers.

I know I'm 6 days lates (oops!) but Happy Belated Father's Day to all of the men (and the women who play both roles) out there who make it their life's goal to be the best dad and partner they can be. To my dad, dad-in-law, and all my brothers -- you guys are awesome and you make the world a better place with the children you raise / have raised.

To my hubby and the best daddy ever, Jason: I love you more today than I ever thought possible because of the father you have become. Our boys are the sweet, loving, fun, intelligent, creative, and crazy boys they are because of you and the example you lead. Not only do you have an innate ability at being a great daddy, but you also have grown into this role by watching your own dad, grandpa, and brother and from trial and error. I am proud of you for learning from mistakes and constantly striving to do more, to be more. Collin & Casey have the best example to learn from; they are learning from a man who is not perfect but knows how to laugh at mistakes, make things right, and move forward in a best direction. Thank you for keeping all of us smiling and reminding me to not take life too seriously!
