Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best dad's in the world.. Rob, my dad, and Rob's Dad.

Today was a great day, I cooked a fabulous French Toast breakfast. Quite a feat considering I do not cook very often or well for that matter. In the afternoon, we took Greyson and Aidan to Wal-Mart to have their picture done. Greyson did beautifully, smiling on cue like a miniature Gisele Bundchen. Aidan, on the other hand, didn't do well at all. He didn't smile at all and hated every minute of sitting there in front of back drop after back drop. They tried to get us to buy the most expensive package and talk fast when they explain what all comes in it. Today was not one of Aidan's finer moments, so we're not going to spend three hundred dollars on portraits where he's crying in all of them. He perked right back up when we got to the McDonalds playland. :)

Later we hit Target and the mall. Daddy made out pretty good, adding some cool clothes to his wardrobe. I of course enjoyed my mocha chillata from Cinnabon. G&A had fun playing with all the other kids at the play area at the mall. We returned home late in the afternoon, played in the pool, and Rob grilled us some delicious steaks. Yum. All is right in the world...

This is our first posting in our new family blog..

Greyson and Aidan will be turning 18 months old on the 22nd. I can't believe how quickly they've grown up. Every day is a new experience with them. They have so much energy and keep up quite busy, but as we've always said, it's a labor of love. This picture was taken on Easter Sunday at my brother Max's house. Daddy is helping Greyson and Aidan count their loot and open some of the candy. We definitely had a great time at Max and Tanya's. The kids loved playing in their playroom and playing with Colton and Alison's cool toys.
