Annemarie’s 2nd Candy Birthday

Father's Day 2016

 Father's Day 2016~
For Father's Day 2016, I did good! I surprised Michael with a night AWAY at a hotel! We went out to dinner and actually had a real night of sleep, which is RARE when you have 3 kids and a toddler. Sarah & Paw Paw kept the kiddos and we returned to do cookie cake and presents with them.  Paw Paw is just an incredible man. I trust him, rely on him, and love him dearly.  He really knows my kids and loves my kids.  I'm so thankful for his presence in our lives.  He is a treasure.  My dad is up in Washington traveling today, so we just had a quick chat on the phone, but he is a large part of who I am today.  I'm so blessed to have these men in my life.  My children are equally as blessed.  Happy Father's Day!

My sweet kiddos~Father's Day pics

I had these pics taken as a surprise for Michael's Father's Day.  He ended up having to actually accompany to take the pictures because the location was changed to a street location not conducive to 3 kids; one of whom is a hard-to-wrangle toddler.  But he didn't SEE the pictures until Father's Day, so that is still a win! 
My all-America darlings---Noah (8), Jackson (5 1/2), and Annemarie (20 months) 

Annemarie Grace~ 20 months

I can hardly even handle the cuteness of my Annemarie Grace---20 months old!
Is there a cuter Texas toddler out there? I'd argue this is IT! She is every bit as fun, loving, and delicious as she appears in her pictures.  My sunshine.

Toddler selfies

What do you do when you've got a toddler at multiple baseball games in Texas summer heat? Ditch the boys for air in the car & take toddler selfies, of course!

     

Field day 2016

     This year Grammie came for field day which was an extra treat! It was hot, but the boys had fun!

Mother's Day 2016

       This Mother's Day, Grammie came for a visit. I tried to set up a pretty table because Grammie likes pretty things. I made her a flower pot decorated with pictures of the kids & she really seemed to like it. They went for a ride in the paddleboat which was fun to watch. 

Happy Mother's Day!
