Happy Birthday, Daddy! (Flashback)

Ben's first birthday as Emily's "Daddy"...both so happy!

A Happy Birthday

Yesterday was Ben's birthday so Em and I had plans to take him out for dinner. While we waited for him to get home from work, we spent some time thinking and discussing where he might like to go. He arrived home and announced that he wanted TGI Fridays...we hadn't even given that a thought! But, it was his day and it did sound good!

Just so happens that last night at TGI's there was a magician...so he got dinner & a show (right at the table)! Under strict orders we kept quiet about his birthday so the magician geared his performance towards Em...she loved it and we had lots of fun, too.

It was nice to celebrate...he's a great husband and a wonderful father and really deserves to be celebrated!

And the fun continues...
Tonight is birthday part 2. His mom is cooking his annual birthday dinner at her house!

Twirlin' in the Rain

Must be I've forgotten what my mother taught me about coming in out of the rain...in fact so much so that I purposely went out in the rain and took my own daughter with me.

After several days of extreme heat, some cool rain began to fall from the sky...I decided to take advantage of nature's sprinkler and make a memory with my daughter....

Mommy: "Want to go run in the rain with me?"
Emmy: "YEAH! I'll do it!"

So off we went...

Emmy: "Twirl with me Mommy!"

So we twirled in the rain until we were dizzy (and wet)!

Emmy: "How 'bout we go get our pjs and snuggle."
Mommy: "YEAH! Let's go!"

Pjs...Snuggles...and Bedtime stories...A GREAT night! :)

Flip Flop

One of the best things about summer is FLIP FLOPS! They're the ultimate combo of bare feet & footwear...protection and freedom... Even better they're cheap enough to have a pair in all different colors!! Love 'em!

UNwanted Guest

So Saturday morning I noticed a very unwelcome, unwanted guest making himself at home...


in the canopy of my porch swing...I think it is 'bout time for an EVICTION!!
My hospitality only goes so far!!
