Father's Day weekend

-
I tried to get this post out before we left for vacation, but it didn't happen. But, I don't want the fathers and grandfathers to get overlooked, so here it is! Again, we are incredibly blessed to have our family live close, and to be able to see our fathers on their day.

We had Jason's family over Saturday night for Mexican food, per Papa's request.

Sunday morning, the kids and I made a crumb cake for Jason for breakfast and gave him his annual photo calendar. The kids made their cards for Jason this year. I asked them questions about their awesome daddy and they told me what they thought.
Here is a sample:
Why is Daddy a good Daddy? (Lucy) He loves me so much. What is Daddy's favorite thing to do? (Lucy) Getting home and eat and talk.
What is your favorite place to go with Daddy? (Walker) The zoo.
Why is your Daddy a good Daddy? (Walker) He's not a bad daddy. I like it when he wrestles with me. He likes to play with my toys with me.
LOVE YOU, Honey Daddy!

Sunday, we had a relaxing day at my Dad's. I wish I would have taken a picture of the table. We made lots of appetizers/finger foods and watched the US Open. It was a fun, casual day. I made meatballs and tomato sauce and had rolls for mini meatball subs, fried ravioli, potato skins and banana pudding.

Happy Father's Day!!

I am only as good a father as you help me to be. It's because of all the things you do each day that enable me to be the father I am. Thank you for this father's day and every other day of the year. -J

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
