Father's Day Weekend (LONG)

We had so much fun this last weekend celebrating Father's Day.
Tim called off Friday morning so we started our celebrations early. This was actually the best idea ever because we avoided  the weekend/fathers day crowds.
We got the kids in the car and took them bowling!
This was Levi's first time ever. I apologize for the quality of the pictures, they were taken with my phone.

 Levi and Daddy! Can you believe they had shoes in his size?

Levi and Daddy again. They also had lightweight balls and a ramp to help little ones bowl. 

Lila just playing with toys and enjoying the fun lights. 

 Sarah (the reason you never see pictures of me is because Tim would have to take them, and unless I tell him to take them, he doesn't)
Check out our scores!! Levi did pretty good for his first time! 

We went out to eat for lunch, came home and put the kids down for nap, I did homework and Tim worked in the  backyard.

We also did gifts. Tim got some from me while the kids napped.
Last year for Father's Day I bought him a nice knife. He lost it a few months ago, so here's his new one.
Smith and Wesson's Military and Police Six. He loves it!


I also did the kids' pictures for Tim. We needed some updated ones anyway since Lila is growing. And Tim needed some cute ones for his desk.
I had seen a cute picture Idea on Pinterest where you put your little girl in your wedding dress that's obviously way too big for her. I did the same concept only instead of the wedding dress, Tim and I's hunting apparel. Tim dreams of the kids going hunting with him when they're older so I thought it was fitting.

(And yes, that's my 2 year old holding a .20 g shotgun)




OUR FAVORITE PICTURE OF LEVI


DUCK CALL!


 I have such beautiful children and I'm so grateful for them and the man that is their father. I love them so much.
Tim loved the pictures, the knife, and the time spent with the kids. The kids gift is usually the same until they're old enough to make him things.He got a new tie for church. It was pink and purple striped. Only fitting that he have a pink tie now that he has a little girl!

We also had cupcakes Saturday night, of which I'm pretty sure I ate 6 or 7.


In other news, we've started redoing our backyard. We're putting up a shed with a dog kennel. Building (and maybe planting this year?) a garden, and taking down the fence. The year will be SO MUCH BIGGER. We're pretty excited. We're taking progress pictures, but we'll wait until we're done and put it all together for before and after effect.

Levi is doing great, knows numbers, letters, animals, foods, etc. He also colors really well, picks out different colors and colors a specific thing. Its obviously not within the lines, but it's a concentrated area. I'm surprised because I've never really colored too much with him since we've moved to Indiana.

I also have a new found love for garage sales. When I find something I really want and like, I get really excited. Just recently a friend of mine from church had her yard sale and I went. I told Tim I wouldn't be long, maybe a few things for Lila. (my friend has a daughter about 3 months ahead of Lila)

I spent $25 and came home with the following:
  • A Thomas the Train Mountain set, an Island of Sodor Wash station, and it included 2 separate sets of tracks to go with them. 2 extra trains as well.
  • I also picked up about 5 or 6 shirts for Levi, as well as 2 pairs of tennis shoes and a pair of sandals. Tennis shoes are K-swiss and a pair of navy blue Chuck Taylor All Stars (hightops) I was ecstatic to find those in his size. 
  • As for Lila, I picked up 4 new dresses. A cute Calvin Klein satin brown dress with polka dots, a blue cotton sundress, a white play dress with multi-color polka dots, and a really cute white dress with hot pink and light pink butterflies. (Which happened to match the color's of Tim's new tie- needless to say she wore it to church on Sunday)
    I also picked up a cute white blanket with multi-colored polka dots on it. 
  • A great find that I made was a MOBY WRAP. I have a SlingPea and a Baby Bjorn carrier already, but I couldn't pass up a MOBY WRAP. And it was a chocolate brown, so gender neutral! Might I add.... those things sell for anywhere between $45 and $60
  • Last but not least, I bought myself some super cute clothes. Probably 12 shirts, 2 skirts, a dress, a sweater, and a belt. And I'd comfortably say it was well worth it because they were American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, etc.

    I'm pretty sure the only sour thing that happened this weekend (besides the fit Levi threw when we left the bowling alley) was when I went to feed the dogs Sunday morning and they shook muddy water all over me. So I ended up going to Church with a brown polka dot look on my maxi skirt that day. No biggie.

    Happy Father's Day to all the dads I know! Hope your weekend was as grand as ours!
