Dads Rule!

Happy Father's Day!

We had such a great day yesterday, celebrating Daddy. For the past couple of weeks Jessica has been working on her presents. She made a mug, cookies, and a crown that says "King for the Day" (Hank liked that part!). I went for an easier approach - on Saturday I took him to Lowes and told him to pick out some tools. Ya know, it's interesting, this is a guy who claims to not like shopping, but he looked like a kid in a candy store walking up and down those isles! He chose a socket wrench set, a wire stripper, and more wrenches. Sunday we made French toast for breakfast, ham and potato casserole for dinner and these delicious (and might I add, super cute!) brownies for dessert.

To all our Dads: We Love You!

Thanks! But I guess I better give credit where credit is due. I got the idea for the father's day cupcakes here:

Aloha!

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
