A Fun Date Night

Day 3: For the daddy of my children.  He's good at it, always has been.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Gratitude {11.1.12}

Day 1:  Thankful for my hubbie and his ability to do anything above 2nd grade math.

 

Las Vegas-The Pool

Nothing beats 110 degree dry heat but 11 acres of sand, 4 pools (including a wave pool and lazy river), and an ice cold margarita.

"I netted them, does that count?"-Chris

After many, many weekends of the neighborhood boys coming up fishless, Saturday was their day.  And even though Chris wasn't exactly the one to "catch" the fish per say, he did a pretty darn good job "netting" them and we all enjoyed a beautiful salmon cookout.

Fireplace Remodel-The Demo

This is what a hole in your wall/hardworking husband looks like.

Life Doesn't Get Any Better Than This...

Opening Night

Lake Padden is where we spent the opening day of fishing season.  No catch just of yet, but there are many family fun fishing days left in our future!

Happy New Year

This is what happens when you fall asleep on the couch well before 9:00pm!

Day 14: Eyes

These are a pair of EYES that are very special to my heart. I can see the world from these EYES. They are the EYES that I fell deeply in love with, the EYES that gave me wonderful love in return. The sparkle and the blue from these EYES is also shared with our girls. Thank God for these beautiful EYES!

"Doods" day table setting.

This morning the girls set the table "extra" special for daddy...including a gift certificate for a special snack and handmade cards sealed with extra hearts!!

Chris & his "camping hat"

The only thing Chris wanted for his birthday this year was a "camping hat" to match the girls' he bought earlier this spring. Being an engineer (and in Chris fashion) he had a few requirements; it must be waterproof, be able to float, made of Gortex material, rain, sun, and wind proof, and to match his Gortex coat we bought for him last year!

We decided to "jokingly" make his special hat instead and test out all the requirements. In the end it didn't quite meet inspection and so we indeed had to bring that embarrassing list to all the sport stores of B'ham!!

This, along with many other reasons is why we love our engineer Daddy!!

Happy Birthday Chris!!

Cinco de Mayo

My Three Amigo's!

December Daily {12.19.10}

This is how our Christmas bathroom is going (or not going)!!

Smokin' Hot

When Piper asked her Daddy why he didn't work at the pool anymore, his only reply was "because I'm not as smokin' hot as I used to be". Too bad I couldn't find his high school swim team photo!!

Father's Day Pizza!

Ingredients:

• 1 shopping list
• 2 trips to the grocery store
• 1 Daddy
• 1 Papa
• too much sauce
• not enough olives

Makes one fun family tradition for making the best pizza ever!!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

He makes me happy!

I can't believe I almost forgot why I am completely in love with my husband, but every once in awhile he reminds me!

This is the picture he emailed me late Sunday night from the airplane on his way to a business trip just "in case" I would forget about him and his beautiful grin!!!

My husband thinks he's a golf pro!

Today Chris was up extra early working on his golf swing in the backyard anticipating his fun filled day at the golf course. I tried to tell him that I have yet to find a course that the par is 120, but he didn't care he was just excited for a fun day of birdies, fairways, eagles, and bogey's!!!

"Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and write down five."~Paul Harvey

so glad...

...that Daddy's home!!!!

(Even if he is a little "scruffy" from his boys weekend!)
