Happy Fathers' Day Everyone!!

This post is entirely devoted to Fathers on this great day. I love my husband more than words can express but I will spend eternity trying! I love all of the fathers and fathers in law in my life and I am forever thankful for all they have done to either raise me or my husband. Please enjoy the pics!

Wow Skye, such a great sister pic

Freddy Kruger

Pops' "I am so happy" smile

Mee-wow

priceless

Roarke LOVES playing with balloons!


Me in my luau get up

I really like this picture

And he loves the Lei

Ada has a serious shoe fetish and I know she didn't get it from me!!

Blueberry pie. We also had a homemade key lime pie which we didn't get a picture of as it was eaten way too fast! Any of you who know my mom know she is a master key lime pie maker so it was fantastic!!

We had steak AND lobster! What a meal!


These are the lobsters. I was so surprised that Ada actually ate them this time!! She also ate some edamame (soybeans) and corn as long as we let her dip them in BBQ sauce so...we let her of course! I also gave in and let her have a bite of pie, but after that she closed her mouth and turned her head and resolutely asked for her berries! I love that she eats good things!!

Awww, the one time where they aren't fighting!

The pie being made



Yeah ain't we cute...?

The decorations


Ada will actually let me put hair clips in her hair for a few hours which makes me so happy!
P.S.- we have a video of surprising Pop with his Fathers' Day extravaganza if you want to check it out!

Walking

Roarke is walking now (well he's been stumbling along for quite some time now but he's now at the stage where he's really doing it alone and without falling; he actually will choose to walk much more often!!). Ada loves playing in the sand and someone at church recently gave us a free turtle sandbox so we just had to go out and buy more sand! Ada loves it and now so does Roarke! This is Ada playing at the park near us before we had our own sandbox.

Posing for the camera

Roarke loves to chase Ada around; she doesn't like it when he catches her and tackles her to the ground though...


When Meemaw comes home and takes her shoes off, Ada will go find them and try them on!

She loves having her picture taken!


Roarke will stick anything in his mouth! We actually had to leave church early today (right after sacrament) as he was screaming bloody murder even though he had his taggie blanket!! When we got home I gave him some childrens' motrin and about 10 seconds later he was out cold! Poor little guy, he had a tough hour and a half of screaming so I'd be exhausted too!
Also, we have a new video up of Roarke walking around the kitchen so that's been uploaded to You tube! I know I used to have them all easily on the blog, but that gadget no longer works so if you want to watch our videos, click on the you tube link on the side of the page or go to You Tube and look up greenfighter3 and it'll bring up all of the videos.
Another note: Ada is having a party on June 26th at 10 am so if you want to come just let me know! We let her pick the decorations so she chose her favorite movie: Disneys' Princess and the Frog!!
