Dads Summer Surprise

I may have welcomed summer with my painted sign, but Josh one upped me and took Jill and his oldest daughter Jenny on a surprise trip to Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor. I packed Jill's bag while she was at school. He drove to OK to pick up Jenny and then they were off to welcome summer in their own way....

This was their view from the hotel window. Six flags was literally a hop, skip, and jump away.

The Batman ride that they all loved!

Hurricane harbor took up most of their Sunday and wore them completely out for the ride home. The long ride home!

This is Josh and the girls about to leave the water park. They had an awesome surprise. a great trip with dad. and many memories were made. I'm a day late on my fathers day tribute to him.....Josh....you are an amazing dad to your kids...well ....our kids. I feel that in all the obstacles you overcame in your life they are what made you the person you are today. you are the hardest working man i know to be able to provide for us in a way and be so unselfish about it. We have many fun times ahead of us as a family. i cant wait to see what "welcome summer" surprise you have in store for next year! :) We love you dad!!

I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now. "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires. Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
