Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the AMAZING Fathers out there!! Especially the ones in my life!! I am the person I am today because of the fabulous family who raised me. My Dad has always supported me  & constantly pushed me to work harder and try for more. Even though at times it was hard, I can look back today and thank my Dad for a vast majority of my successes. The same can be said for my Step Dad. Being a step-parent is hard. Harder than I could have imagined, and yet more rewarding at the same time. Had I not had such great step parents, I would most certainly not be able to battle the ups and downs that come with raising someone elses child. I am blessed to have a step dad who always included and loved me as his own, while never pushing to replace my Dad. I love both of these men more than words can say!!
Me & the best Daddy in the world
#1 Step Dad!!!
I am equally blessed to have married such an amazing Father. These kids have no idea what an amazing man they have but they will look back and be so incredibly grateful.

John & his Mini's
Paw Paw putting away some lunch!


We started out the morning by taking John to breakfast at Village Inn.  It took a little longer than we'd planned (and by that I mean forever) leaving us not enough time to make it to church. On the bright side, it left me plenty of  time to visit with Paw Paw before lunch with Dad! He put away some serious food eating 3 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of fried chicken & french fries. For someone who fusses about dinner EVERY day...this was definitely a good thing!! After lunch with Dad & the gang, we headed over for an afternoon cook out & swimming at Mom's. Having a huge family, means on every holiday it's guaranteed we will be forced to rush around to at least 4-5 places and likely be forced to eat just as many times. Just the same...I would't trade any of them for the world!!

Survival.

By
5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
