Happy Father’s Day

June is a super busy month for this family. The 16th marked our 15th wedding anniversary… the 19th Father’s Day and the 24th my birthday. Not to mention the birthdays of 2 god children and my step mother all in the same month. Lots to celebrate. And this weekend we celebrated all things Daddy. Sunday started off as Ken wanted – sleeping in… then we had a leisurely time of showers, coffee and what have you before Ken and I went out without kids for a 45 min errand run. A snack, and then a bit of necessity shopping – stuff for dinner, cough syrup for the hacking minions, shampoo for newly purple hair (nope, not Ken’s). We also gave him his present: a duotang full of poetry, notes and art, as well as a paper airplane and some Star Wars themed cards made at ClubY. All that is missing is the photo we are going to get printed out from today and paste to the front of it. Nothing as fancy as the books I used to make him when we first married… but it is a start to getting the kids involved in that straight from the heart handmade process.IMG_20160619_142338

After more relaxing we headed off to the YMCA which was darn near a ghost town and spent a couple hours in the pool… waterslide was on for some… we brought the beach ball… AND Trinity got her pink wristband which allows her access to ALL of the pool! I don’t know who was more proud Trinity or Ken.IMG_20160619_160920

20160619_153017I admit it, once we got home and sorted out… because I have to sort our swim gear for the next day and the YMCA trip anyway… I hid in the bedroom to stitch and read while Ken and the kids (loudly) lived it up gaming in the basement.

Add in supper at home with the family and all in all, I think it was a good day.IMG_20160619_160949

Happy Father’s Day dear! We love you!!!20160619_113309_HDR

Say Hello To Sailor Moon and Other Pictorial Fun

May 4-5

Another weekend another busy 2 days! And I am most certainly NOT complaining! So starting with Saturday… it was a rather special day. FREE COMIC DAY! Oh and the 4th of May (May the Forth Be With You… har har Star Wars… Har Har). We lucked out and earlier in the week got a postcard from the Source (the best comic/gaming store in the state) with all the information.

Our adult bag… sounds awful, but they had kids and adults divided…

Getting to the back of the store

Busy

So we planned in advance and met up with a childhood friend of Ken’s recently in the process of moving back to Minnesota from New Mexico, Matt. His twins who are almost 4 are also in state but they were napping so he came solo.

Ok you can JUST see the side of Matt’s face sorry

They had free comics (of course), pop and chips… oh and people all over in cosplay… everyone from Santa to Batman to WonderWoman… oh and SAILOR MOON! So of course  Trinity had to have her picture taken with her!

Sailor Moon!

Iron Patriot

We took random pictures, shopped around… and got a boardgame for Ken and the kids to play… this one is a cooperative.

The kids’ stash (repeats but lots to enjoy)

Of course before we went there it was the first Saturday of the month AND Trinity’s first full month as a 5 year old we had Home Depot to enjoy first! No aprons to take home for Trinity but the guys will go earlier next month.

She DID get her first pin!

Plant Pot holders

Sunday was originally going to be Ken’s first soccer game of the beer league… BUT He ended up sick so I lucked out and got another Sunday out with Bree… Lily… AND Quinn!!! Perfect timing as Bree ended up with a car issue that meant she needed to go drop her car at the mechanics. So she was able to do that and have her inlaws drop her back at home while I hung out with the kids. As I am sure you can imagine I was NOT complaining.

My tiny charge

My able assistant

Of course this meant I was there with my CAMERA! Quinn is an avid photographer and photo subject when it comes to me and my camera. He helped me take a few… and also starred in a few himself.

Peach

Digger

Perry

And in balloon form

Add in tummy time images…

BABYYYYYYY

So many smiles today

Just general cuteness…

Babies love these bag sleepers but man do they ride up!

What a face

And a moment of milk drunk sleep…

Full tummy

It was a brilliant day… and with no car there was nothing to do but walk to the nearby DQ. Such a new thing for me… they only had hotdogs! Yummy though. So we packed the kids and the camera and headed out to enjoy the day.

In the carseat and ready to go into the stroller

Quite an interesting neighbourhood

The beauties themselves

Seriously a quirky neighbourhood… love this mailbox

We had a bath snuck in amongst the random fun… apparently sink washes are NOT fun, especially when mommy gets the idea of using the sprayer! Oops!

Seriously Aunty, put the camera down and SAVE ME

That left us the rest of the afternoon to hang out, visit, watch Perry the Platypus and take a boatload of pictures! There WILL be an overflow!!

Baby! Note the bracelet that was a gift from the nextdoor neighbours

Shhh you will just have to check back to see the rest
