Play, Play, Play

Yesterday I was going to drive the girls to the playground at Hinman Island, but when we drove by, it was way too busy, so I decided to take them to the one playground everyone seems to avoid: the hospital playground. This playground is not only covered, but also very fun and the girls loved it! And nobody was there, surprise, surprise!

We have 2 playgrounds left on our extravaganza before we start it all over again!

The Man that stole our hearts

A father should love his children, and seek to win their hearts. He should protect them, discipline them, and teach them about God. He should model how to walk with integrity and treat others with respect. He should call out his children to become responsible men and women who have lived their lives for what matters in eternity - Alex Kendrick, Courageous-

I love, love, love that movie. I believe all children need father figures in their lives, even if it isn't their own Dad. They need role models to guide them. My Dad taught me to work hard. He showed me how to fix the lawn mower when I broke it, so that next time I would know HOW to fix it, rather than find someone else to do it. He taught me how to raise livestock, how to change my oil in my car, how to drive a tractor, and many, many more things. My Grandpa taught me how to ride a bike and how to play spades.

My children are blessed with such a strong, caring father that plays with them, reads to them, and loves them unconditionally. He is the backbone of our family. And although he is far away right now, they still miss him more than ever. So here's what we've been doing Daddy, while you are away.

It was a bit "bright" inside the house....

So we went outside to play sidewalk chalk.....

And we ended up getting a little wet with the water guns!

We love you and miss you VERY much! Happy Father's Day!
