Father's Day

I could go on and on about what a fabulous Daddy my two sons have, but.....okay I will for a little bit.  Jerry ALWAYS puts his boys (and me) first!  He is an amazing father who is hands on and takes on every task.  When he gets home from work each day, the first thing that he does is hug Nathan and Griffin and typically ends up on the floor wrestling with them.  He reads to them, feeds them, bathes them, brushes their teeth, helps with potty necessities, plays with them, teaches them, cuddles them, rocks them, kisses their boo-boos, and loves them in uncomprehendingly!  Even though there are moments where they can try his nerves, he always ends up asking himself how he can improve and be a better dad.  One other gift that Jerry gives to his boys, is his love for me.  Jerry shows his sons that the love he and I share is important and sets the groundwork for the family we have.  As you can tell if you are reading this, I love my husband, and I love the Father that I have watched him become!  I chose right!

For Father's day the boys "helped" me make Jerry breakfast.  We then drove to Santa Barbara where we rode the carousel, walked on the pier and had lunch, went on a small boat ride where we saw dolphins, and ended the afternoon at Borders (one of Nathan's favorite places).  We had a nice day as a family!!

Yum Yum!

These days Griffin has quite the mind, and attitude, of his own.  He is becoming more and more curious, and he usually wants to do everything that his brother is doing...wash his hands at the sink, color, read, climb, swing, go on slides, play in the sand (eat the sand) etc.  He also likes to exert his independence when he eats, which he likes to do quite often!  One of his favorite things to eat, and wear, is yogurt.  Griffin will not allow us to feed him though, and it becomes an interesting activity to bare witness to.  The only way that he will learn better spoon control though is to practice.  So I move him to the tile floor, put on the bib, and let him have at it!
