Father's Day


"An Ode to Dad"




He lets us help him mow the lawn, and help when leaves need rakin'


He always shares his favorite foods, even if it's bacon!




He likes to build and fix things too, because he's very Strong!


He always plays piano, and sings us lots of songs.




Every Day our Dad is fun, we hug and like to play


Every night, we read our books, we hug and kiss and pray.




He is a very special Man, we Thank You, Lord above


for giving us this special Dad who we cherish, respect, and love!




HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY! WE LOVE YOU!

Girls Can Be Fun....

So.....we went to a girl's birthday party for a friend this weekend. ( oh, the torture for three boys!)We know a great couple who have three girls who are the same ages as our three boys. The oldest was turning 6! After a bit of hemming and hawing over having to go to a "princess party", and a bit of talking regarding not saying anything "not nice" about pink, princessy,or otherwise, we were happily on our way!


Needless to say, everyone(especially the boys) had a fantastic time! Observe.......


Swimming first

After some cake and presents and play til about 7pm, we were all partied out, and thankful for a great day,great weather, and Great friends!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA!!

Memorial Day!

Alright, I know, I know! I haven't blogged in a week! A lot has happened! Thursday I had a dear friend come to my house and do a Premier Jewelry party. This is a Christian rooted company, and a family friend is starting her own business selling it. It is beautiful and reasonably priced! After my party was done,I got to pick from $135 in free jewelry!! Woo hoo!
Then Friday we left for a camping weekend, which my Hunky Hubby posted about here. We had a great time! We tried out our camper for the very first time. The boys slept wonderfully in it, despite my fears of waking up before the birds!

We left the campsite Sunday eve, because on Monday, Jeff had to drive down to the shore to his Aunt's house to pick up a couch from them.

The picture doesn't really do it justice, but it is a nice tan leather that matches our new paint color in the living room much better than our old couch. (Which held on for ten years, and was a very hardy couch!) Here's a pic of what the old set looked like. grey plaid. We still have the chair, but eventually we'd like to get a nice recliner for that corner.

While Jeff was traveling, I took the boys to a Memorial Day parade, where we met up with some of their friends. They had a great time!

They liked these tractors. I parked on a side street right next to them. The boys look so small by them!

Here come the fire trucks! The best part was that they throw candy to the kids! Watching the kids scramble around for the candy when it hits the ground is pretty funny.

Here is Sean eating a Tootsie Roll.( One of the longer ones). Notice he is eating it like corn on the cob. I never thought of trying it that way.

Here are all the kids watching the parade, while Sean sits on the bench still working on his precious tootsie roll.

I'd say it was a great weekend for everyone!

Some New Reading Material

We went to the library and found some great new books! I think we grabbed about 6 or 7 today. One of them was called "I'm Mighty!"

This one is by the same author of the other book we love...."I Stink!" (see my prior post about that cool book here)This one is fun too. We were excited that we found it. The boys said, "It's I stink's friend!"
Two others we picked up were:



These were both very cute also. The boys liked the one where the llama had enough of shopping with his mom and threw a fit by throwing everything out of the shopping cart! Yes, it is very funny on paper. Lucky for them they haven't done that!

Here's a very rare picture of the two older ones reading together. I'll tell ya, when they fight, they fight! But when they are nice to each other it is very sweet. I was lucky to capture this moment.


Then there's Sean, who just kept himself busy trying to escape the camera. I got him, though! And what a smile!

Then they all decided to take off. Oh well, It was nice while it lasted!
