First Day of School

There were only a few tears shed on the first day of school. I held it together at drop off until Aiden started to well up. I knew we were heading for a disaster if I stuck around any longer so with a hug and a kiss Gary, Owen and I left. All the way to the car Owen was yelling where is Aiden? Mom, wait for Aiden! Broke my heart and really made me cry. Hoping that Thursday has less tears for everyone.

Just Like Daddy....

Gary has a love of magazines. It really doesn't matter what it's about he just loves them. Last night while Gary was laying in bed reading Aiden ran to his room for a book. He climbed up in bed next to Daddy and wanted to read too.



Peek a boo...

Working In The Yard

We have been trying to get as many things around the house done before our hands are full with a new little someone. Yesterday Gary and Aiden did a little work in the yard. There is a big hill on the front side of the house on the lake side. Gary has been digging some pretty big rocks out of the hill for awhile but decided to bring them all up yesterday.




Until now I have just been placing a few here and there in my perennial beds, but Gary's dad was here a weekend or two ago and started lining the edge of my flower beds with the rock. Looks like he's going to have to come back and work on the huge pile Gary dumped in the yard.






Aiden wanted to help daddy and went and got his wheel barrel from the garage.






Dang, don't you hate when the wheel barrel tips over? Daddy came and straightened him out and he was good to go again...



Aiden's load of rocks...



We also started another project yesterday. We want to put some wood ties around the swingset and put wood chips in so cutting the grass is a bit easier. The plan is also to add a big sand box to the one end. Once we started we noticed we didn't have enough wood ties. Maybe we can convince Papa and PapaMom to come out one weekend and give us a hand with this one...hint hint!

When Mom is away....

I ran to the store tonight to pick up a few things. I was gone a total of 30 minutes at most. When I got home there was a little surprise for me...

Father's Day

We had a very great Father's Day. Aiden gave Gary his present, which I just realized I didn't get a picture of. We went and visited with Gary's dad and gave him his gift and then headed over to my Uncle Doug and Aunt Lois's.

My Daddy


Gary was like a little kid, he loves fishing and spent most of the day with my cousin Adam fishing away. They each caught some nice looking bass.





David even caught a "huge" fish





David, Kyle and even Aiden enjoyed the slip and slide down the hill.






The end of the slip in slide started to become a mud hole...David didn't seem to care


To all the Dad's I hope you had a fantastic Father's Day
