Father's Day

This year, Dena decided to have a brunch for Dad, we met there and it was a beautiful morning to celebrate Father's Day. Good food and good people sure make loads of fun. In the 9 weeks, I sure have noticed a huge difference when we have family get togethers. It used to feel, like something we 'had to do'. Get there, do your 'time' and then go home. Everyone always seemed to be in a hurry to leave and move on with their life, but now....Now it is different. Everyone seems relaxed and in no hurry. Everyone genuinely seems to want to be there and it doesn't matter how long we are there, it just feels right.

Bailey and RaShay...aren't they so cute!!!!

Nobody can say he is camera shy...Gabe loves his picture taken.

This year Shaley's birthday fell on Fathers Day also, so we had double the reason's to celebrate. We ate hot dogs and the guys shot darts in Brady's garage. Shaley received a 'body art' tatoo set for her bday, and she thought it would be fun to give all the 'Dad's tatoo's' of their wives names on their arms. What a hoot that was. I think everyone ended up with some sort of tatoo somewhere.

Father's Day was a good day, a day to reflect all the Father's in my life. My husband, who is an awesome father to our children and who I love with all my heart, my Dad...who I love and cherrish very much...my step Dad Steve, who is always there when we need him...Hank, who we love very much and miss you lots....Grandpa Batchelor, who has lived a long full life, and is very tired....and my Heavenly Father, who has given me everything and who I owe everything to... Happy Fathers Day, I love you!

My garden's progress

We have had so much rain lately, I haven't had to chance to weed my garden, until yesterday....well barely. I finished weeding minutes before the downpour and the wind hit. These pictures were from right after it stopped. Everything is growing so well....except my carrots, I can't figure out why they didn't grow this year.

Gabe's First Dentist Appointment

Gabe had to go the Dentist to get 2 fillings in his 2 front teeth. He was so good, he climbed up in the chair and watched a movie while they got ready to work. Doc drilled his cavities without any shots!!!! I was so afraid for him, but he did not fuss at all. They filled it and sealed it with the blue light, and buffed it smooth. By this time he got a little worried and started crying for about 1 minute. I was so proud of him. He stood up and gave Doc a high five and ran out to ride the mechanical horse.

Now his teeth are all fixed, hopefully this will last, and they won't have to cap them or pull them later.
