I KNOW I AM BIASED, HOWEVER....

I really do think my kids have the best dad. And if you'd ask them, they would agree. Jason spends a lot of time with the kids, quality time. He takes the time to ride bikes and play baseball (a lot of baseball) and go fishing and there is usually a treat involved. What I appreciate the most, is how he incorporates so many life lessons while doing the fun things. Maybe it's about sharing, or how we treat others, or even his strong work ethic. Whatever it is, the kids will look back and appreciate what they learned from their dad and will want to emulate his example.

So, thank you Jason, we are lucky to have you!

Fathers Day Quote by: Jim Valvano


"Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again."

"One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be."

MAY WAS A WHIRLWIND

I have had every intention of blogging more frequently, in fact that has been one of my goals recently, but sleep trumps blogging, at least most of the time. May went by so fast and I was thinking that June would be much better because our schedules would lighten up, but so far that is not the case. Too many things to write about, so here are some highlights....

Preston and Grace have ended the bunk bed/sleepover. If you are wondering, it was Preston's decision. One night he decided he was going back to his room and he didn't look back. Grace was sad the first night but afterwards she adjusted well. Me? Well I'm still a little sad, but I will say they sleep better, less talking.

Stella can do the sign for milk. It's a good thing. I forgot to give her a bottle after lunch yesterday and Savanah told me Stella was signing for milk (sorry Stella). She also has four teeth on the top, all in the last week!

In one weekend - four dance recital performances, two baseball games, Preston's First Communion, and two parties...AND WE SURVIVED!

Savanah turned 13! We planned an extreme home makeover in her room. When she left for school, the transformation began and she was very surprised when she came home. It is a black and white theme with some orange bursts. Pictures to come.

GRACE ASKED....

if we could get out the hanghock, because it's almost warm out.

The what???

You know, the hanghock.
