Freddy the Frog

I April the kids went to the backyard to play. Geoff was mowing the lawn. In the middle of his mowing, he stopped, yelled at the kids to come here, and then showed them the frog that he had just found. The kids loved it. Everyday since then, they have been able to go outside to the side of the house and Freddy the Frog is there almost every time. He is our little pet. (and when I say our, I mean the kids). He is the best pet ever, as I have to do nothing to take care of him, but he is always there for the kids to play with. It is so fun to watch them pick him up and put him on the trampoline and scream in delight as he jumps around. Freddy has provided hours of entertainment for these kids. Again, best pet ever. :)

There was a morning in June, when the kids were out playing that I thought, I should take some pics of them with Freddy so they can remember him. So, for memory sake...

 Here is Freddy on Addie's shoulder.

 Camden chasing Freddy around the trampoline. He will never hold Freddy, just likes to watch him jump around.

 Brynlee, on the other hand LOVES Freddy and loves to hold him whenever she can. We have to watch her pretty closely though so she doesn't squeeze to hard.

 Macie letting Freddy jump around and loving it.

And Freddy just relaxing on Macie's foot. How the kids love Freddy and are so excited every time he decided to show up to say hi.

Father's Day 2014

Father's Day this year was a nice relaxed day. We all hung out and grabbed some pictures with dad. These pictures crack me up. The first I told everyone to look nice and happy.

 The next one I said, ok, now act how you always do when dad is on the couch... and this is what I got. So funny. Poor guy.

 And then this one, where everyone is acting like their true selves. I can't help but laugh.

Really though, our family is sooo very blessed to have such an amazing guy in our lives. He is the best father and dad and husband anyone could ever ask for. He is always so willing to go along with whatever crazy idea I might have, and whatever crazy idea the kids might have. He is always so willing and helpful and kind. The kids adore their dad, and everyday when he comes home, they come running to greet him. We love this man so much and are so grateful he is in our lives.
For Father's Day from the kids, we decided to take a picture of each kid with something they love about dad. Here is what they said:
