    Father’s Day Weekend + A Birthday

    This past weekend was busy in our house, but we’ve had so much fun the last couple of days. Thursday night we went to dinner for my mom’s birthday. Ben did pretty well and we got a table right next to where they make pizzas. Ben loved looking at the guys throwing the dough and they were so nice to interact with him. They smiled, gave him thumbs up, and made funny faces. I don’t think people realize how helpful/entertaining this can be to someone with a child. After dinner J and I decided to give the frozen yogurt place another try. After we got our yogurt we drove to…

I don’t really like french toast but J loves it so I make it for him and I’ve literally made it the past three mornings.  After breakfast we did some cleaning and got ready for the air show.

    Happy Mother’s Day!!!

    Happy mother’s day to all the wonderful moms, grandmas, great-grandmas, and many other women who fill the role of a mother everyday. I always loved mother’s day growing up. I loved being able to show my mom how special she was to me and to just spend time with her. Growing up, my mom would tell us that she never needed a gift, our gift could be just spending time with her. I always got my mom a gift but one year I decided to get her an EXTRA special gift. What was it?…. A trip to Hawaii! The pool at our hotel My mom! I wish I was able…
