Mommy's off to Work

On the nights I work, Josh takes Riley on all kinds of Daddy adventures. Last night while I was at work, he took her to the park (they had lots of ice water with them since it was soooo hot and muggy last night) While at the park, Daddy was practicing his photography skills. He is doing so much better;) Of course every time he uses my camera I have to change all my settings back, but he has taken some pretty nice shots lately!

Happy Father's Day Part 2

Here are the pics I promised of the dads! Father's Day at our place is always Hawaiian-Style! And Riley made both Grandpa's do flips with her until they were all tired out!

Teddy Bear Twist

Teddy Bear Band

This weekend, we took a little break from cleaning for the Father's Day festivities to bring Riley up to the Teddy Bear Band in Arbor Lakes. Auntie Meggie was bored so she and Adrienne joined us. (Katie and Darin are up North for a wedding this weekend.)

Happy Father's Day!

Riley wanted to wish her Daddy a Happy Father's Day! I will add photos later today...after our Father's Day luau...of the Grandpa's and Great-Grandpa whom we also wish a very Happy Day, but I didn't want to re-post old photos. We love you Dad's!

Last of the Arboretum

My mom hates to have her picture taken, but I love to make her try:) We took a rest by this beautiful rose bush on Thursday and made Grandma pose for a few pics. The second picture is one of my mom's favorite roses. She likes the bi-colored blooms! The last rose is the "purple heart" rose. It looks more purple up close, but I had to post this picture. My grandpa Don would have liked this one!

TIGF- More for the Arboretum!

These pictures are for my dad! He always takes pictures when he goes to the Arboretum and sends them to me:) Today I am grateful for the Father Figures in our life. Especially my dad who is THE BEST! He was my coach and will always be my "Coach" and my Papa Panda! I love you Dad! And Riley loves her "Papa"!

I am also thankful for my Grandpa who just celebrated a birthday last week and now we celebrate as part of Father's Day! We have been very lucky with our grandpa's nine lives, he had a bad health summer last year, and I'm thankful we can celebrate all that he has done for us kids!

My Father-In-Law also had a bad heath summer last year, but he will be back in his happy place at Back to the 5o's this Father's Day weekend. We celebrate Josh's dad and Riley's Grandpa Mark too!

And last, but certainly not least, Riley and I celebrate our very own "Daddy" this weekend...Or as Riley will tell you, "My mommy calls Daddy, Josh!" He has been an amazing daddy and I love watching him play at the park, read stories and tickle his little girl! One of Riley's favorite stories only Daddy is allowed to read to her..."Puppies Are Like That" was Daddy's favorite book when he was a little boy, and now he reads it to Roo!

Happy Father's Day Dad's!
