A Great Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday and today. Yesterday we were in Loveland for my nephew's 8th birthday (tomorrow's post) and since we did a joint gift we gave it to my dad yesterday.

My dad and I have a contest every holiday to see if we can make each other cry. Not mean but just to see who can get the most sentimental gift or card. This year my card was good but he was able to hold it together but the calendar did it! He teared up while looking at his calendar I made just for him!

And the kids had a blast playing with Popa on the floor! This made us all laugh!

I love kids!

Then we celebrate today too. We spent most of our day just lounging around because that's what Miah wanted to do. Then we headed over to my parents house to have dinner. Mom and I cooked steaks, tater tots, salad, and corn on the cob. I'm proud of the picture below because Rex finally figured out how to eat corn on the cob! And he loved it!

He's so cute! I love his little faces he makes!

After dinner we ate some chocolate chip cookies. Rex really enjoyed them. Miah played with him and started saying, "Can I have your cookies please? Please let me have your cookies?" and Rex just kept laughing and laughing. it was so cute! There is a video at the bottom of this cute interaction between them.

I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the Three Wise Men Gifts but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that. In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week.
