Saturday Dadurday

Sometimes you just need to celebrate Daddy.  So, today we enjoyed a little Saturday Dadurday...gifts included!

We took a little bit of the inspiration from this book...or at least the title of our day!

We were hiding from Daddy, waiting for the perfect moment to jump out and say...

SURPRISE!!!

 

Because every magical day needs a unicorn card...

I think Daddy liked his gifts

Then we headed down the street to play in the stream at our park!

We even got some wrestling time in with Daddy.

Then we tried to take photos...Sloane thought we were being silly!

We love you Daddy!

Then we took Daddy out for lunch...we decided to try the new Farmhouse Restaurant at the Breckenridge Brewery.  Sloane and I were on our best behavior (seriously, Mommy & Daddy couldn't believe it).

Cheers to an awesome Daddy!

Owen!

Aunt Helen, Uncle Rod, and Owen stopped by on their way home.  It's always awesome to see them.  Plus they bring great gifts, like the Lego - Hello Kitty.  Mommy and Daddy says that it's always important to take photos when family is together.  Maybe someday we can visit them soon.  

It's hard to get a picture of these two.  

At least everyone is looking at the camera.

It's great to spend time with Aunt Helen.  Oh, we like spending 

time with Owen and Uncle Rod also.  

Yeah Aunt Helen!

It's even harder to get all three of these to stay still for a picture.  

Look at me, I'm a monkey!

 Owen photo bomb!

Watch out Owen, don't get wet. 

You got wet.  

I don't even know what is going on here.  

I think she is washing her butt.  Hee, hee.  

Couple videos of the cousin band practicing. 

Happy Birthday America!

It was another 4th of July in the neighborhood again.  One day Daddy says that we should have a big party and invite all our friends.   Daddy even wants to get a bounce house next year.  We might have to partner up with Q's parents, and their annual party down the street. 

Daddy took us to see the fireworks the day before the big show.  

That's them under the tarp. 

We got to see God's own light show on top of the hill with this

beautiful sunset.  Looks like the mountains are on fire.    

Mommy and Daddy created a chalk art sidewalk activity for all the people

 visiting the fireworks to run through.   It takes a couple photos to get through it.  

Stomp like a dinosaur.  

Dance like a firework.  

Jump of the hole.  

Hop scotch.  

Meow like a cat.  

Slither like a snake.  

Hop like a bunny.

Walk the line,

God Bless America!

Walk like an Egyptian.  

Yeah America!

 Our annual 4th of July bounce house fun.  

Girl power with Quinn and Maggie.  

Fireworks videos.  

Way To Go Mommy!

Mommy finally ran her half marathon today.  She has been training for this race for the past couple months by going on long runs when ever she had the chance.  It might have been an excuse to get away from us for a while.  We were all proud of Mommy for running this race.  Daddy said that there was no way he would have been able to run it.  Mommy was a little nervous when we left her, but we knew she wouldn't have a problem.  We wished Mommy good luck and piled into the car to play at the park, eat donuts and cheer Mommy on.  We really liked the donuts.  The park was really cool, so time flew by, before we knew it Mommy was around the corner coming in.  

We got into our positions cheering on all the racers as we ate donuts.  I know kinda unfair.  We made the best posters, so good other dads were jealous.  We saw Mommy down the street and got really excited, we ran up to her and gave her hugs (Sloane wanted Mommy to hold her!).  We were so excited that we wanted to finish the race with her.   This wasn't the best idea, so Daddy ran as fast as he could for two blocks then we eventually caught up with Mommy at the finish line.

We asked Mommy if she won...she said "no", but we think she did!  

The most amazing part was that Mommy was ready to go onto our next adventure later that afternoon. 

We had to give Mommy love so she could win this race.  

Mommy gave us a thumbs up 

right before we drove away.  

Mommy at the starting line.  

Run fast Mommy!

Nom...Nom.  Nom

Just waiting for this race to start. 

While we were eating donuts, Mommy was enjoying the view, running alongside 2200 other runners!

We enjoyed a little play time at the park while we were waiting for Mommy.

I loved the tire swing the most.  

I was busy at work making a sign for Mommy.

I was working hard also.  

Practice cheering time.

Donut break.   

It was time for the real deal after our donut break to 

cheer Mommy on.
People laughed at my sign.  Hee Hee.

At home we tried on Mommy's race shirt...this is me showing Mommy how I'd run really fast...you can barely see me, I'm so fast!

Go Mommy Go!

Daddy's Day Weekend 2015

Happy Daddy's Day!

I love you Daddy

On the way to Lookout Mountain.  

There was a deer on the side of the road saying Hi, to us.  

Um Sayler, you're squishing me.  

Don't tell Sloaney what I'm doing to her.  

Sayler's Last Day of Preschool 2015

Today marked the last day of my first year of preschool!  Kind of a big accomplishment.  I've grown so much this year...Mommy says both in height and knowledge!  I've made lots of new friends at school and learned a lot (including Spanish - which I love teaching my family...they can't tell if I'm making
words up or not)!

 A little side by side comparison of my last and first day of preschool

(Mommy apologizes for the quality of the photos)

But, as you can see I've grown lots!  I've even re-thought my career path a little!
