Father's Day


















What a great Father's Day weekend we had. It had been almost 6 weeks since I had seen my parents because of my mom's illness (She had open heart surgery then developed a staph infection; didn't want Blake to get sick) so the visit was long overdue. We drove down Friday night and stayed until Sunday. My parents really enjoyed Blake! My dad had him laughing to the point of crying. It was sooo funny!!!

On Saturday night we went to my brothers new house to eat dinner. Jeff and Deborah cooked an awesome meal. I am happy that my mom finally had the energy to get out of the house. She has had a very trying few months. I want to give a big THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU to my dad. He has taken very good care of my mother during this time. He now cooks, cleans and looks after her every need. This is a HUGE change for him. He is use to her waiting on him hand and foot.

I thought this picture of my parents and their grand kids was a great picture.

Blake also went swimming in their pool Saturday afternoon. Mom came outside and watched for a little while. Sitting up is still a little uncomfortable for her. Blake really enjoyed the pool.

As I mentioned I have not seen my parents in a while and I had not seen Luke and Breanna since then either. WOW how they are growing up. IT HURTS! Especially Luke. He is 12 and prefers his friends and girls over us....yes it breaks my heart but I can remember being his age. He is so cute! I really don't like this growing up stuff :(

This was also Jon's first Father's Day. Happy Father's Day Jon and Dad!!!

YUMMY!!!

Last Friday (May 30) Blake had his 4 month checkup and shots. Dr. Hale (his pediatrician) said it was time to start 'Big Boy' on cereal. So Blake and I went to Wal-Mart after the doctor's visit and bought him baby oatmeal and rice cereal. That night Jon and I gave him his first taste of real food. Of course he loved it!! You can tell by the mess on his face

I thought I would add a picture of little Jon pitching a fit. Too much like his daddy :)
