Father's Day......


A Father's Day Re-cap.....
Our day began at 2:22 am - to the beat of the neighbors music and again at 4:15am and yet again at 5:20am - only this time our doors and windows were rattling to the beat of the music also. I then kindly proceeded to call the police in hopes of getting even just a couple hours of sleep before our children arose - but alas the first child greeted us at 5:57am and we were all up from there!
Thankfully we truly had a day of "nothing".....and Eric got to enjoy (hopefully) a Twins game on the TV while the rest of us napped.
We had a "crock-pot" dinner and a culvers treat followed by a nice Sunday evening drive.

Happy Father's Day Eric - We love you very much and are so thankful for the husband and father you are to us all!! Hope you had a great day - despite it all.......

A here is a re-cap in pictures.....



We took some time outside after naps to let the kids ride their bikes and play on the swing-set - Eli on one of the many riding toys that adorn our garage - unfortunately our children do not how to put them away in a proper place and today I backed over one of there most precious riding toys - the tricycle.........


Ema is pretty content being strapped into this car...I am sure it won't last a whole lot longer - she is on the move these days.....


Ana with her bike that she has learned to ride so well this summer......now we just need to teach her to turn corners just a tad bit slower and she will probably stop tipping over....



Ema is so funny in the grass - she does whatever she can to keep her feet off of it.......


This has become a favorite activity that I am not sure will ever get old for these three - they could be pushed on the swings for hours.....at what age do they finally learn to "pump" for themselves??



The kiddos and Eric on Father's Day.....


We let Ana have a crack at taking a picture....not too bad......


After dinner & ice cream we took a drive up to Pactola Reservoir......it was such a nice night.


Ana is hunting for rocks to throw in the lake....


Like father......like son........


Getting a lesson in "skipping" rocks....


Check out this form.....


And this tongue.......sticking your tongue out when you throw always makes the rocks go further......



We were hard pressed to convince these two it was time to leave.....but it was 8pm......
