Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day was celebrated on three different days, since Grandpa was on call on Father's Day and Heather's family had plans on Father's Day evening, which is when it would have worked best for us to celebrate. It all worked out just fine though, since we had lots of fun celebrating each special dad!

We started off our celebrations on Friday, with Granddaddy. Since Heather was not feeling well, we had takeout at her house. The kids were a bit fussy, but the night ended well with everyone having fun with water rockets!

On Saturday, I started Carl's Father's Day celebration with date night. Carl and I went to dinner at Mojitos and  enjoyed a walk at the park. On Sunday, Carl got to sleep in and then we surprised him with his gifts. The rest of the day included storms, but Evan enjoyed movie date with Bonnie Mom and as a family we enjoyed watching Evan learn to play golf and playing games. Although it was nothing too exciting, it was just what Carl wanted and he said the day was just right.

We were finally able to celebrate Father's Day with Grandpa at the pool on Thursday. We all had a lot of fun, but I think Evan and Preston probably had the best time of all. Evan enjoyed getting thrown in the water by Grandpa, Teddy, and Daddy and Preston LOVED splashing in the baby pool. It was great to get together with everyone, though I spent so much time talking and playing, that I forgot to take any pictures! Oh well! We know we had a good time!


Father's Day with Granddaddy

Father's Day Weekend with Daddy

Evan LOVED getting a golf lesson from Daddy. (Evan ADORES his Daddy and wants to be just like him!)

Evan found this cute baby toad on Father's Day and he was so happy that he was able to catch it!

 

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

Evan has been asking to go to the pool ever since it closed last September, so of course we took him to the pool the day that it opened. Of course, he loved every second he was there, even though he was so cold that his lips turned blue! Thankfully, the weather warmed a bit by Monday, which made swimming much more enjoyable for Evan. (The water still felt cold to me and to Carl!)

When we were not at the pool, we spent a lot of time being outside. We went to Hays Kennedy Park and played on the playground and walked to see the river. Evan and Daddy also went on another hike to the creek to look for more fossils. (Preston and I started the hike with Daddy and Evan, but Preston got too tired and wanted to go home and go to sleep.)

Carl and I also took the boys to Abbey Road on the River. Both of the boys enjoyed listening to the music and eating snacks. Evan knows many Beatles songs and he sang along and danced at times, which was adorable. Evan also enjoyed playing with other children that were there. After a couple of hours, we took the boys to Grammy and Granddaddy's house and we went back to the festival. Carl and I enjoyed our overnight date and the boys had a blast with Grammy and Granddaddy, who spoiled them rotten!

Preston thinks it is so funny to wear sunglasses! He smiles SO big when you first put his sunglasses on!

Preston does not look too happy in this picture, but I promise that he was having fun eating his snack and listening to Beatles songs.

Evan was really happy with his giant pretzel! (He cracked us up when he put it on his face and told us he had a mask!)

Once again, Preston does not look to happy, but he really did have fun!

Carl and I really enjoyed hearing all the bands. Of course, the Beatles music was our favorite, but we also really liked hearing Herman's Hermits.

Brit Beat did an AWESOME show! I loved EVERY second!

After the show, I got my picture taken with The Beatles! =) (Brit Beat was so kind to stay after the show and take pictures with the fans! I wish the picture had turned out better, but it was dark and took it with the phone camera. It is good for memories though!)
