Summer, Summer, Summertime....

I feel so bad this summer because Jake is a busy body and it is just so hot. He loves the park but we cannot go unless we are there at like 6:00 AM and that is not going to happen. So I have been taking him to the Mesa Childrens Museum, the mall an storytime to get some activities in. He loves them all...I think his new favorite is the germfest at the mall. Mike hates it but I think he will be better off being exposed. Here are som more photos from this month that I finally put on my computer!

Playing at the activity table....he just likes sitting on the chairs
Reading some books before storytime

Again...

So we took Jake to the mall this weekend and bought him his 1st Cherry Dipped Cone from DQ! Oh....I remember the day when I had mine. YUMMY! I couldn't deprive him of one because they are the best thing ever. Poor Mike was deprived of them when he was little and I had to introduce him to his first too. He loves them :) So here are some photos of Jake (they are pretty funny!)

1st try
I don't think I like it....
Never mind I love it!

Happy Fathers Day....

Happy Father's Day to the 3 special men in my life! Today is a great day to recognize 3 special men in my life that mean the world to me. Obviously there is one more but he is not a daddy yet...haha.

1. My hubby, he is amazing! But he knows this because I tell him all of the time! Today is not just a day for me to recognize him because I think I do it daily. But I do not share it with the world daily. So today I will tell you what an amazing hubby and daddy he is. Jake wants me to share that with you all too. When Jake sees his daddy come home from work he sees nothing but fun! He gets a big smile because Mike always sneaks in and hides from him. So it is all fun and games with daddy. And he loves that daddy puts him to bed and reads him stories every night (unless he is very cranky and wants his mommy) And Mike, takes care of me and Jake all the time and I love it. I love that he makes me feel like a princess and just loves me for me! I love that he cares what I think and does the small things that matter most. I am so happy I chose him to be with for the rest of my life because I couldn't imagine it being anyone else!
I love you honey...I mean diddy!

2. My Dad, I cannot even begin to tell you about his man. I will say he is an amazing father and he is always putting his family first. It isn't even a question in his mind when he has to choose between himself and others. I am so envious of this sometimes but that is what makes my dad who he is. He has always been there for me, whether it was a bad day or a flat tire HE IS ALWAYS there. He is a man who can do anything he sets his mind to and I mean ANYTHING.
I love you dad and I hope you have a wonderful day.

3. And last but not least....my favorite grandpa ever! I am so blessed to still have at least one grandfather alive and he is 80 and still-a-kickin! He has always been my favorite and I think I have always been his favorite until baby Jake came in to the world. My grandpa and I have been together for 50 years now and he has always been a wonderful grandfather. I love him dearly and I am so happy to still have him here to recognize him on this special day.

What are the odds of me having a photo from last fathers day of all of my favorite men!
