So much to celebrate this Fathers Day!

 We had a great fathers day weekend! It was eventful, relaxing, tiring, filling, and amazing... God is so good, last year Will was just getting into his big boy carseat, and was using an exersauser. He's grown so much! And the year before that we were on our babymoon!
















Friday I left work early and started on a project of some heavy duty cleaning to our floors. Our WHOLE first floor is hardwood and with a build up of cleaners from the years they have a film/haze on them I couldn't take anymore... It was a LONG project but I was excited to get started. Then I picked up Will after his nap and took him to a splash pad where he played for hours.
Saturday Luke was in a golf tournament all day, Will and I played and I finished the floors while Luke's step sister took him swimming (insert huge thank you!) Its just seriously amazing what one momma can get accomplished with both boys out of the house for a few hours!
these floors take a beating!

I knew, I just knew, Luke would be draggin Sunday morning.... but Will was up at 7 like clockwork and I wanted to spend the morning just us three. We went to cracker barrel (one of Luke's favorites we never go to) had a great breakfast the three of us, then starbucks in hard off to the playground to burn off a little energy.  We went home and showered dada with gifts two personally made cards, a framed picture of will with a sweet poem, and a travel fishing pole, {looks kinda like a pen!} to use on his upcoming golf trip to Michigan. Then he was off for a massage while Will and I layed down. Sunday afternoon we met at Luke's brothers for a bbq with their family and Luke's dad.
The day would of been complete if we could of seen my dad, but you can only fit so much in one day, and my parents are all about us not driving all around town on days like this {thank god}

After a long day my sweet sleepy boy took a book to bed {for the first time}and slept a sweet slumber dreaming of a perfect day with his perfect daddy.... as I watched him in the monitor, and listened to Luke mow outside I thanked my lucky stars {grandma ad} and thanked God as I rubbed my belly and counted my blessings.... that's right, it was a very special Fathers day for us indeed, with our sweet William and our new lil sweetpea on the way!

"Walk a little slower Daddy,"
said a child so small,
"I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true,
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

Showing Grandma Betty how we get mad


I figured I better post about Fathers Day and weekend before another weekend passes! I haven't had time to upload pics from our camera yet so any of these are from my phone. Luke only has one set of grandparents left and they haven't met Will yet, They live in Hutchinson KS where Luke lived when he was young and it is about 8 hours away. They were in town and we got to spend a lot of time with them which was great. I still am not accepting of what happened to my grandma ad this year, I mean I know it happened but I guess since I didn't make it to the services my heart is having a very hard time letting go. I think she is still there at her house cooking and thinking of us, which I guess is not so bad... I am just going to have a hard time going there and realizing I'm wrong.

Anywho... It just melted my heart to see Luke's grandparents interact and get to know lil William. Grandma Betty had ten children. Yes ten! Luke's dad is the oldest = LOTS of grandchildren and great grandchildren. You'd never know it by the way they were excited and fascinated with their sweet lil William. Thursday night they came over to our house to meet him and have pizza, Friday night we went to Luke's brothers Tim's for dinner. We left there about 9 so Will was in bed at 9:30, normal bed time is 7:30 or 8. This was the test to see if this would help him sleep later... if you call later 6:30 am. Not ready for that yet I guess. And then Sunday we went to Luke's dad's house for Fathers day. I am so glad we got to spend so much time with them, it was a great visit!

Monday we went to my mom and dads with my sister, Greg, Bennett, and my grandparents. We had homemade lasagna from Nana (YUM!) and the boys are getting SO cute and playing and interacting together more and more everyday!

I hope Luke had a good first Fathers Day, we made him a card complete with some pictures of William of course and a got him a new travel golf bag to use for when we go our of town. He is so excited and thinks this means he needs to plan some golf trips... ut ohh!

Saturday we took babysitter Jackie's two children Faith and Evan and went to the pool then back to our house to play, it is exhausting having three children, and two so close in age! But we were glad to be able to help them out! Will being silly with his great grandparents.
