Father's Day

I hope all the dads out there had a wonderful Father's Day!  We took my dad to brunch in the morning, the kids had tennis lessons at noon and then we went to celebrate with Shawn's dad for dinner.  The kids got Shawn a portable speaker system he wanted and a subscription to Runner's World magazine, but they also made him a couple of special things I wanted to share.

"I love Dad.  You are the greatest Dad ever.  I love you to pieces. 

You are just great.  You are my best Dad ever.  My heart is full of love to you Dad."

Is that not just too cute?  They love their Daddy so much and I'm pretty fond of him too! Thanks for being a great Dad honey - we love you so much!

This week

Last Sunday was the kids first tennis lesson. Shawn took them, so sorry, but no pictures. They both had a great time and Lauren even won one of the competitions. While the kids were doing tennis I got the honor of going with my sister and mom to look at wedding dressed for my sister. We had so much fun and she looked stunning and absolutely beautiful in every dress she tried on!

After tennis, Shawn took the kids to visit their cousins, so they had lots of fun. Then that night Lauren lost another tooth! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Painting Bird Houses

Last Thursday I was home sick with a bad sinus infection.  But the fun thing about being home sick is that I get to pick up the kids from summer camp!  When we got home from school they decided to paint some wooden bird houses we had while I made dinner.  They were so good and had so much fun painting the houses.  Here's a few pictures!

Love,

Rainbow

The other morning I was walking in our neighborhood and this huge rainbow was in the sky!

Right over our house!

It was huge - a full rainbow

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day weekend, we went up to the cabin on Saturday morning.  Now that Shawn has a new car (with 2 TVs/DVDs) it was quite the pleasant ride up there!  It was a hot weekend, but there was a nice breeze blowing, so it was nice sitting out on the front porch. 

The kids rode their cars a lot and played with the hose.  Mama Jane brought up a few cute inflatable toys that they had fun playing with.  Shawn found a water frog in the bathtub (better him than me!) and then we headed home on Sunday.  That afternoon we spent at the neighborhood pool.  I was surprised at how well the kids remembered their swimming.  We'll get them lessons again soon, but I think they are destined to be little fishies!

What a cutie!

These two were up to no good!

He just cracks me up - not sure what the Spiderman gloves were all about!

Trying to scare everyone! 

Lauren was trying to get away from the boys!

My sweet little niece Libby

Someone immediately crashed when we got home from the pool!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!

Love,

Jennifer
