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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
