Father's Day

I hate his traveling.  I really really do!  He had to leave on Father's Day and he won't be back until Tuesday. We just got him back and he was here for two days before leaving again.

Anyway, moving on to happier things.  Last night, we decided to celebrate Father's Day at the lake with a little cook out and some fishing.  Shawn's parent's and siblings unfortunately couldn't make it, but we were there as well as Terry, Torren, and our friend Buck.

Nobody caught anything but everyone had fun trying.


Yes, we made the kids wear life jackets because the water there was really deep and I'm a huge worrier.  It's just better safe than sorry in my eyes.



And of course I nursed Rylie in style.


We grilled some chicken thighs and veggies, while Shawn, Torren, and Buck went into town and brought back pizza and chips.


The weather was amazing and the lake was gorgeous.  It was just nice to kick back and relax.


Poor Ben was the first to crash and he was so gosh darn cute.


This morning, the kids even slept in.  We must have worn them out.  After we all finally woke up, the kids and I came down stairs and made some cinnamon rolls and Father's Day cards.  We set up everything to eat outside and had a wonderful brunch.


Shortly after brunch though, the fun was over when Shawn and I came in to fold laundry and pack his suitcase.  Now he's gone and I'm left to figure out dinner.  We were supposed to be at my in-laws for dinner tonight, celebrating Father's Day for my father-in-law and my brother-in-law, who is about to become a father this year.  Instead, we're at home because my father-in-law is sick.  I just hope he gets better super quick and I believe we'll be eating Wendy's.

Thank you. I just hate that it feels like he's always gone. I know you understand that feeling right now... Even more than I do.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
