Father's Day Update

While we were opening presents for Father's Day - my sister Julieanne brought out her gift for our dad. We have had a sugar cookie recipe in our family for years (since I can remember) that is delicious! She has taken it to a whole new level. She made a cookie bouquet for my mom on mother's day - and now this:





I keep telling her that she should sell them on etsy because I think people would buy them. What do you guys think? Would you buy them? If so - what do you think they would be worth?

I tried making some cake pops from Bakerella - learned a few things along the way. It's a trial run for a baby shower in a couple weeks. I will post how the real ones turn out - but they tasted super sweet!



Last - Tyler found this Dumbo costume and walked around all day in it. He was in heaven and VERY upset when I took him out of it and would not let him take it home.

Happy Father's Day

One day late -but none the less - Happy Father's Day to my loving husband and my own father! My dad is seriously the most awesome example of an amazing, charitable, giving, unselfish, creative, knowledgeable man. I hope my boys get some of his traits. :) As for my husband Brian - he is an awesome father to my three boys. He takes the older two fishing and to the park constantly. He gives them baths at night while I feed Cody and tells them creative make up stories (which they love). When they have bad dreams he is always there to say prayers with them to help them feel safe. He is not only a fun and loving father - but the spiritual leader of our home, which I am so grateful for. I love this man to pieces!

I can't believe I actually got one of all of them looking at the camera. They are HORRIBLE with taking photos - so I try not to take too many because it frustrates me to no end (being the mother and the photographer is tricky). This picture makes me melt and sums up everything to me. We brought them downstairs while playing with their cousins for a "quick photo." Tyler has one sock on and one sock off - because "it has yuckies on it." Brian loves his dad like no other - and I love how he is leaning in to him giving him a hug. Cody rocks! Although he is not smiling - he seriously is the best baby! (Thank goodness). Love that little guy!
