I'm so glad when Daddy comes home...

...glad as I can be...

The squeals that come from these three when Dad walks in the door can be heard for miles.  He is their favorite playmate, best tickler, wrestler, body-slammer, and the reason why these kids love life... because Daddy makes it fun!

Happy Father's Day

"Fifty-nifty United States..."

Charlie had his patriotic concert at school and to say that it was impressive would be an understatement.  The music teacher is amazing.  He learned about 15 patriotic songs and each one had sign language to go with it.  He now knows all the "fifty-nifty" United States, all the US Presidents, and the names of famous inventors.  It was so adorable to see how much he loves to sing and how "into it" he was.  Way to go Charlie-boy.

Sweet grandma even came to partake in the patriotic night.

I left my heart in San Francisco.

My cousin Katie was getting married, so what a great excuse to take a little road trip to San Fran.  

We all met up a Fisherman's Warf and spent the day sightseeing and walking the streets.

Ghirardelli square and the best $5 chocolate chip cookie of my life.

Saw these two random street performers while waiting in line for the trolley.

Love was in the air...

 Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Hans & Katie Spect.  It was such a fun night celebrating this beautiful couple.  Katie has always been a funny, kind, and gorgeous person on the inside and out. I am so happy she met her match and found true love. 

The family.  (We missed you Steven and Melinda)

(A big thank you to Momoo and Dadoo for flying in from Vegas to take care of our kids.  We had such a fun weekend knowing that our kiddos were in good hands.)
