A Sweet Father's Day for a Sweet Father:)

Oh what a sweet daddy these 2 little men have!!!  I am so very thankful to have him as the example to these little boys.  The leadership and guidance and love and patience that Jonathan gives his children is a beautiful example to me and one that I pray one day our children will recognize, respect and desire to emulate.  God has gifted us with a hard working, loving, fun, active, and godly man to provide and care for us!  We are richly blessed!!!!

We spent our Father's Day going to church and then coming home for some yummy marinated steak, ranch potatoes and home-grown-straight from our very own garden broccoli!  Oh, yum:)

Jonny then did what any father would probably want to do on "his" day.....play softball:)

After softball we enjoyed some sweet cinnamon roll cake for dessert before heading off to the pool for some fun in the sun and water:)  Topping off the day with a Big Mac and fries for dinner! Yes, I'd say that this daddy is one special, worth it all dad:):)

A Trip to the Zoo

Wyatt has a huge fascination with animals.  He absolutely loves getting books from the library that are all about whales, dolphins, wild animals, zoos and aquariums.  He will sit and look at a big book filled with words as long as it has enough cool pictures of jelly fish and beluga whales:)  

There was a free day at our local zoo and we took advantage of it with some friends. 

 Wy could NOT stop talking about going to the zoo and seeing all the animals!! While we were there he would look at one exhibit and then ask what the next one was....over and over and over:)   

You can just barely see a male lion right behind him in the glass!!!!

 The one animal that he apparently really wanted to see was the hippos....but, sorry to say, our zoo does not have hippos. Which I had to continually remind him of this sad little fact:(  

It didn't have whales either, but it did have a fun little blue whale and blue dolphin that he could sit on:)

 

Enjoying watching the giraffes eat and gazelles graze:)

All in all it was a great day and one that he still is CONTINUALLY talking about:)

A New Member...

We are excited to add a new member to our family in early January.  The 7th of January is the expected arrival...but I always view a due date as totally myth:)  I don't want my expectations to get dashed if he/she decides to take longer! 

Welcome Sweet Sugar #3!!!!
