I took the girl's out for a surprise date yesterday. First it was lunch at Tim's then we headed to watch Toy Story 3. They were so excited! It is so much fun taking kids to movies, I love to watch them react and interact with the show! It was pretty good, there was only one part that got B nervous and she couldn't watch, oh and we were warned about the toy monkey, so when he showed up we were ready to laugh instead of scream!! I had a lot of fun with my girl's yesterday, I hold fast to these times that they are young and want to hold my hand and be silly with me. I love this time, but also look forward to the future and what our relationship can be.

It is Father's Day and Gracie was the first one up, dressed and in the kitchen making Paul breakfast. I had to realize the noises I heard and headed down to help her out! They made him cards, B grew him some plants at school, Cici made him nuts and bolts and Jude colored a card and put car stickers on it. It is pretty cool to see them step up and and get creative and take it out of my hands! I am thankful to God that I have an incredible Dad that under Christ loves, serves and leads his family and I have married a man that does the same. Happy Father's day!

Guns and Deer

What does this have to do with communion?

I have no idea but I am going to find out on Sunday, I'll keep you posted!

On to other fun news, there is a mom deer that had triplets around our house. She is very protective so we need to be careful. At one point there were 3 fawns, but now there are two. They are very small and very spotted. I like them at this age, then they grow and become professional garden eaters and lawn poopers.

That didn't work!

Sometimes just wanting to share pictures with you guys is hard work! I want to protect my pictures here and I think the best way to do that is to watermark everything I put up. That is the simple solution that will require that can or worms to be opened again! Oh well.... enjoy the pictures... but please ask before stealing them?!

I am trying to find ways to add protected photos to my blog, so bear with me as I try some new things!

Carnival of Fun!

We go to a play group in town that is all free, in fact we have begun going on Thurs nights to play and they even feed us dinner! They had a "carnival" on Fri morning so I headed over there with B and J Man.

There was a bouncy castle

Cookie decorating

Face painting

Bubble blowing

and what carnival wouldn't be complete without a fishing pond!

At the same location, the city has opened a new park, so we had to check that out too.

This is a crazy fun swing that ALL our kids can go on at the same time! How fun!
