Father's Day

Brunch (really cool ice sculptures!) and a Car Show at the Keeter Center, Movie date to see The Three Stooges with Grammie and Grandaddy, and a visit to Nana and Papa's house...Our Father's Day was fun!

Happy Father's Day! (?)

Today is Father's Day!

Jason and Annie came home this afternoon from a special daddy/daughter weekend. They had a wonderful time, and I missed them both so much! I was thrilled that they came back early enough for us to celebrate at home with a nice dinner, dessert, and presents!


But of course, any event at our house isn't complete without some DRAMA, so...here we go!

First there was a bit of an altercation between Austin and Ellie, just after Austin fell against the playset ladder. Somehow in one of those events Austin took a pretty hard hit to his ribs. Later in the evening we were trying to decide if he might possibly need to see a doctor. Thankfully we think he's okay, but we were a little nervous.

Then Jason requested blueberry pie for his special Father's Day Dessert! I have to tell you, I felt like a bit of a pioneer woman as I made pie crust from scratch, and used blueberries we handpicked! It turned out delicious!!!


And then Austin got upset, and flung Annie's plate of pie across the room...poor daddy. He caught the brunt of it, blueberries all over him!


Yeah, there's nothing quite like cleaning blueberries out of carpet, off of chairs, floors, walls, curtains...fun stuff.

So exhausted, Jason and I put the kids to bed, and sat down to watch TV. Phew. Another Father's day done! And that's when I realized...we forgot to give J his presents! Oops! Oh well, he can wait another day I guess. Sorry sweetie, Happy Father's Day anyway!

And Happy Father's Day to my wonderful father, and father-in-law! Hopefully your days were a little less eventful!

yes, i'm still alive.

wow, 8 comments, maybe dixie's on to something with this whole "no posting" thing! no, seriously, i hated not to post, but life's been a bit insane for me lately. i'll quickly bring you up to speed.

first, a few days ago we had to have one of our dog's put to sleep. her name was abbie, and she was the first pet jason and i got together 10 years ago. so we are sad, but we're making it. ellie was sad also, and annie keeps talking about "when we go get her in puppy heaven". we are talking about getting a puppy, but not quite yet.

second, i've had some awful stomach bug that has come and gone and then came back with a vengence! it wasn't pretty, so i'll leave it at that. except to say that i think it's really gone now. let's hope!

third, i have been cleaning house (sorry celeste, i usually DO neglect it for blogging!), we had some friends over, and then we were hosting Father's Day lunch today.

and then, of course, there is all of the normal craziness! but don't worry, i'm back now! we had a wonderful father's day today. jason put on his coca-cola apron and grilled a TON of steaks for all the dad's and everyone else. some men might think that was too much work for him on father's day, but not jason! he loves to grill and use all his gadgets. so we grilled and visited and relaxed, and then after everyone left ,HE took the girls to the lake for a little bit! and left me at home alone with a sleeping baby and a quiet house! this is better than mother's day! it melts my heart to know that he wanted to spend this day with his girls. and it makes me so happy that he just loaded them up, and off they went!

Happy Father's day, to the man i have loved since i was 18. I love you more and more with each day and each child! (not that we need anymore!) You are a wonderful daddy to all 3 of our babies and a wonderful hubby to me!
