Father's Day!


We celebrated this great man and all he does for our family.  We showered him with awesome things like post-it notes to show our appreciation. :)  Mike is such a great dad!  The kids just love him and love spending time with him. He's so patient and fun with them.  We love Dad!!!!!

Music Crazy

A few months ago, I realized how much music I have lost.  I love music and always have, but gradually over the years, it has disappeared in our home (I'm sure it has to do with the noise level. haha).  I decided I wanted to make an effort to have it around more often.  In the process I have discovered Amazon Prime Music.  If you are an Amazon Primer user, I'm a huge fan!  Tons of free music!  They don't have everything for free, but they have enough and all genre's to keep us entertained.  

Well, along the way, we have discovered Kidz Bop.  It's regular radio music remade for kids.  LOVE IT!  They clean up the words and even the messages making it totally clean for my little kiddos' ears. My kids are pretty crazy about it.  We now have music ALL. THE. TIME.  For the most part, I love it.  We have had plenty of dance parties, complete with some really awesome costumes.  It's helped clean the house, helped put kids to bed when we were not in our own beds, helped happy up some grouchy kids (and mom)...oh how the list goes on.  Since moving back to my piano, I have also been playing a lot again.  My skill is not near where it once was, but by playing some everyday, it's getting there, slowly but surely. I truly love music and am so grateful for the influence of good music and for my mom making me learn to play.

Batman

I should have cropped these, but I'm 2 months behind, so I'm not redoing it. Haha! Luke loves being batman.  He wears this outfit daily, often to bed. I don't care when he wears it out and about either.  It's adorable.  These pictures were taken at the beginning of June, but it's still a regular occurrence. 

Last week, we were cleaning and he was wearing his outfit.  I looked at him and said, "Com'on Luke!  It's time to help clean!"  He looked at me dumbfounded....."But Batman doesn't clean up.  He just kills all the bad guys. Sorry" :)
