father's day 2014

Father's Day 2014 marks the 21st father's day without my dad.  Each year is a little hard.  I think of him often, but significant days are always a little bit rougher.  I am very thankful and blessed to have Paw Paw though.  He has cared for me as his own for over 9 years now.  I admire, trust, and love him as my own dad.  He is also (hands down) the very best Paw Paw.  Lexi and Paw Paw have the sweetest relationship.  The simply adore each other.


We celebrated Paw Paw, Uncle Daniel and Jason at Mimi and Paw Paw's house on Saturday.  We ate, swam, told stories, and had fun.  We got to snuggle our favorite baby too!  I can't wait to see Lexi and Luke grow up together.  Cousins are like siblings and we are fortunate to live so close to each other.



On Sunday we spent the whole day celebrating DAD!  Lexi and Jason usually go get donuts on Sunday mornings, but this Sunday Lexi and I went while Jason slept in.  We picked up a buffet of sweet treats and Starbucks for the man of the day.  After breakfast we went to Ruibal's and picked out some flowers for the front yard and stuff for lunch.  We spent the rest of the afternoon in our pool and Jason made a delicious steak for dinner.  It was low key and a perfect day together.  Lexi loves her dad so much and she spent the entire day telling him so.  Lexi hit the jackpot in the Dad department (as did I in the husband department)!!  We are truly blessed to call him ours.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
