Happy Father's Day!

So, I spent so much time trying to decide what to get Ryan for Father's Day. He has been so wonderful lately . . . he always is, but really has had to kick it up a notch in these last few months. Between me beginning my Arbonne business and needing to be away for shows or me working on homework or me working late, he's been a rock! How do you pick a gift for that?? Instead of buying a gift, I bought a day of family time. I booked a hotel about 30 minutes away and we hopped in the car. We began at the local parade and then headed to find the rides. I think Bennett is just like daddy . . . he loves crazy rides!! After dinner, we went for a walk around the lake--beautiful! Then, we had to stop at a park.

Daddy and Bennett climbed the TALLEST slide I have ever seen!!

Landon tried some climbing, too.

We had to find the ducks and geese because Bennett wanted to feed them his
graham crackers :-)

Then, we headed back to the hotel for swim time! It was so much fun because there was no one else in the pool area.

Both the boys enjoyed the water. Bennett practiced jumping in and Landon showed no fear--not sure if that's a good thing or not!

After a long and fun day together as a family, free of distractions, we curled up and found a favorite on TV--Cars. The boys who were both exhausted started bickering and needed to be separated. So, Landon laid down with Ryan and I was next to Bennett. It wasn't long before Ryan and Landon were sound asleep and Bennett followed shortly after.

I had so much fun spending time as a family! It was a great way to take some time just for the four of us! And it was a great way to tell a great dad that we love him! Thanks for all you do, Daddy!!! We love you!

Like My New Pillow???

My little Landon has become very interested in coloring lately. Prior to this, he took a brown marker and colored all over the couch cushions. I managed to get most of it out. So, a few days later, I was putting the boys' clothes away, came out, and found my sweetheart sitting on the couch with markers in hand. Upon closer observation, I found the red and blue on the pillow and my favorite fleece blanket. Wish I had leather . . .
