Dairy Days Parade

This year we were all in the Meridian Dairy Day parade with Primary Health. It was hot and sticky and a long way to walk with a bunch of little kiddos. It was fun. The girls had a blast handing out cow slap bracelets, chapstick, hand sanitizer and band aid packs. Unfortunately, the marketing lady who ordered all the stuff had no clue how many people were going and by the end of the parade route everything was gone. I guess the moral of this story is this- if you are going to a parade- do NOT sit at the end of the route.... :)

my itty bitty pretties

Bonnie and I.. :)

we look like goofs in this picture...she grabbed my hand and we were laughing about holding hands...odd I guess..

2015- Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you daddys out there, but this particular post is a shout out to the love of my life- Louis. The best partner, friend, and dad anyone could ask for. Regardless of how busy he is, he always makes time for all of us. He is so selfless, strong, nurturing, kind and loving. The reasons can keep going. I could never find enough words to express my love and gratitude for him. Yesterday we had a wonderful day. We started the day off going out to breakfast. Then it was time for the girlies and Louis and Jason to head to Edwards downtown and watch Jurassic World. After that they came over to nana and papa's house and I made everyone dinner. The men opened their gifts and relaxed while they got waited on and pampered all day. It was the least I could do to thank them for all they do for me and the girlies every day!

everyone else looks good in all these pictures. I, however, look lame. I would totally cut myself out of the picture, but no luck digitally...

my dad requested a peach pie. the crusts got a little but more brown than I was hoping, but all else was good.

chicken marsala....keep these men happy

homemade rosemary focaccia. yummy!

San Francisco

Bella and Zoe went to San Francisco for a week with their dad. They had a blast and lucky for me I was getting frequent picture updates. Obviously I don't know all the details of all the fun stuff they did, but if these pictures are any indicator, I'd say they had loads of fun!!
