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.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
