Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s day to all those dads out there, but especially to Matt, my dad, and Matt’s dad, John.

Yes he is!  Happy Father’s day to an amazing father.  We love you!  Thank you for all that you do for us Matt.  You work so hard to be able to provide for us and allow us to do all that we do, have all that we have.  It brings me true joy to watch you interact and play with our boys.  I couldn’t love you more.  You are a great dad….think about all the great times we have ahead of us with these 4 fabulous boys (and one more).  My wish is that they turn out and grow up to be just like their dad. 

 

The 5 loves of my life.  Pretty handsome if I may say so.

After church we headed up with my family to the horse races at Canterbury.  I hadn’t been there in a long time.  It was a beautiful sunny day and we found a perfect spot in the shade. 

The father’s (well, one father to be soon!).

The kids really enjoyed picking horses to win and then cheering them on.  Ok, so did the adults!

Happy Father’s day to my dad also.  You have always been there for us, been involved with our lives, loved our boys and are so great with them, and I appreciate it all more than you know.  I am so glad you are able to enjoy retirement, no one deserves it more.  Love ya dad.

Spring Concert and Baby Reveal x2

 

Last night the boys had their spring concert.  One of my old teaching partners from Willow is retiring this year and her celebration was at the same time, so Matt did a great job of recording and taking pictures!  Super dad!  Mom and dad were also there to watch.  I was bummed to miss it, but got to watch it when I got home.  Plus, there was no way I would miss my good friend's retirement.  The boys will have many many more concerts.

This morning we all headed over to my parents bright and early for Nate and Diane’s gender reveal.  They had breakfast for  us and then we all got to pop a balloon.  Some of us popped balloons for the first baby, and the rest popped balloons for the second.  So fun!  Check out the last picture to see what they are having!  We couldn’t be more excited!

Science Museum & Waterpark of America

Friday we headed to the Science Museum with my parents and then stayed at the Waterpark of America.  Mattey, Kristin, and the girls and Natey and Diane met up with us Saturday morning to stay for the rest of the weekend. 

 

Watching a show on combustion.  They look pretty interested.

When we headed to the hotel, the boys were pretty pumped to head to the waterpark right away.

Look at this cute little diva!  She already has the pose down.  Saturday morning when everyone got there we all headed back down to the waterpark again.

We went back to the waterpark for more fun and then came back to the room for pizza, games, cupcakes, and some March Madness basketball.

Sunday morning we had our own little breakfast buffet and then it wouldn’t be a weekend without making a stop at the arcade.

We got home, unpacked, took bathes, and has some nice good ol’ family time  (sarcasm).  How sad is this picture!  Like father, like sons! J/K
