I did have a great day today, just lots and lots of things to be thankful for!
This morning was much of our normal routine, groceries, etc. But then after the boys went down for naptime...IT WAS ON! It was time to unleash my Father's Day present onto the world. It's a Honda HRR216VKA lawn mower, and I absolutely love it. Yesterday I got it all outfitted with my lawn striper and today,even though the yard really didn't need to be mowed AND it was 95+ degrees here, we got it on! Here's the proud Dad with my new ride and the finished product...that yard is PERFECT!
I couldn't believe how fun the mower was to run. It was unbeliveably fast, like, I was out of breath after walking with it for awhile. I liked it so much, I mowed the neighbor's yard too!! I'm sure Mr. Mike will be surprised when he gets back from camping this weekend.
After the boys finished their naps, it was onto my second favorite, the pool. Especially the pool with the diving board. Last year because of E, we didn't go to this pool, but now that he's able to sit and hang out in his floating boat, and Aidan is getting really good at swimming, I was able to steal a few minutes (an hour) to go and dive. Loved it. Can Openers, Flying Squirrels, Parachutes, and of course I had to try and did make my double flip. Awesome time.
For Dinner, Mommy made her famous maranara sauce and chicken parmasean. Plus, we tried Grammy T's Restaraunt recipe cookbook and made Olive Garden's salad dressing. It was pretty close, either way a great Italian salad!
Here's some highlights of the weekend:
Ethan is really starting to get fun around the house. He found one of Allie's toys the other night and she started going crazy for him to play with her. Check out the movie here:
And pics:
(story on this picture, Ethan had just pulled Allie's leg, she freaked out and threw the bear into the air, E can't get enough of her!)
And a couple shots of Mr. 1 year old on Saturday. Those eyes are something else. Daddy gussied him up with some gel too, looking good buddy!
Aidan has something he wants to show YOU! Remember back in March when we planted sunflowers??? Well, here they are now! Holy Moly! Over 6' tall! It has been so fun watching these things go. Aidan is the best gardener I know!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
That's all for tonight, I hope all the Dad's that read our blog had a special day! Thanks to Mommy for making my day so great....it was...it really was!
Have a great night,
Ty, Emmy, Aidan and Ethan

So glad that you had a great day! You deserve all the happiness a new Daddy can get. But the question is: Did you get a full nights sleep??? I sure hope so!
Thanks for the adorable movie and pics! Made my night...

Loved the picture with you and your new mower. You look totally in love and very proud of it. Have you noticed any cars driving by pointing at your yard? I would!!! Also, what do your boys think about you perfoming all your dives? I bet they were very impressed. I however, would be so sore! I did a back flip on the trampoline and I hurt for days after! Glad you had a special Father's Day.
