Missing you Papa

Happy Birthday Papa....We miss you!

Happy Birthday to the BEST Papa in the whole world!!!

These pictures are from your last birthday!! Boy were we lucky to spend a lot of birthdays with you! Lord knows that this world is not the same without you with us, but I am sure there is one hell of a celebration going on in Heaven right now. It is a bit selfish of myself that I wish you were still with us here so we could celebrate with you, but I know you needed to go and are no longer in any pain. It is just sometimes I really wish you were here to give a hug, ask Addison what color her bow is and comment on her beautiful eyelashes, ask me if I am pregnant again, or pretend to steal Austen's drink and then tickle him. Please know you are missed every single day since you are gone and as I sit here and type this I have tears in my eyes knowing that you are with us to see everything that goes on in our life. You are here when something new happens and are smiling down on us every day! It is raining a lot today which only leads me to believe you are telling some pretty funny jokes up there which is making all the angels laugh so hard they are crying! Love you Papa! Happy Birthday!!!!

Welcome Raegan Lynn!!!

I was so blessed to meet our friends Megan and Tim's new baby girl Raegan Lynn!  She weighed 7lbs 10 oz and was 21.5 inches long. She has so much hair and such a good cuddler!!! I can't wait to see her again and Addison is excited to meet her as well!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day to two of the best Dad's in the whole world!!!

I am so blessed to have had an amazing Dad in my life. He was always there no matter what! I know that he will be always be there for my family just like when I was a little girl.

Thank you to Jay for being an amazing father to our two beautiful children. You are the perfect Dad for them! They are so blessed that you are their father and do so much to provide for us all. We love you Jay and hope you have a wonderful day!!!!

On this Father's Day my heart hurts a little as well, this is the first Father's Day that we do not have our amazing Papa with us. I know he is with us in spirit, but I so wish he would just walk thru the door! I can hear him say "Hi hon" and when I ask him how he is, he would say "Oh just wonderful! " Love you Papa and we hope u are having an AMAZING Father's Day in heaven! Addison and Austen talk about you all the time! We miss you sooo much!

Addison's last day of school

I should have posted this before Florida, but I am a little behind. Addison had a great year in kindergarten and we are so blessed that she had such an amazing teacher!!! I have posted some pictures from her last day!

Back to life, Back to Reality

We had an amazing trip to Florida this year! I think it was one of the hardest time to leave, we were all in tears. The kids had so much fun and loved the water. The weather could have been sunny every day, but we still got to do most of the things we wanted to do. Austen was excited to participate in everything Addison could do this year which made it lots of fun for all. My sister Katie and her boyfriend from Italy got to come too this year which was an added bonus for all. Here are a few of the MANY pictures we took.
