Daddy~Daughter~Dance (Valentine's 2015)

Last Friday night (Valentine's Eve), the girls got to attend their first Daddy/Daughter Dance hosted by our community Country Club. They were so very excited, and had been looking forward to it for WEEKS!! We took a few pictures beforehand, and they made my heart so very full. They are all so very beautiful (even Daddy!) :)

My triple blessings. They are so full of love today, and everyday!

We made our own corsages and boutonnières :)

Daddy's tiny dancers were ready to go cut a rug with their main man!!

Clairy didn't actually go to the dance since it was so late. She opted for a bubble-bath and lollipops. :) Still, she wanted a beautiful dress and corsage like her big sisters :)

Josh said that they CUT A RUG the entire night. Such a fun and special time for them!!

I truly hit the jackpot with this man. He's just simply the best husband and father. More than I could ever dream of. He sets the bar extremely high in showing his girls what a "real man" is. He talks the talk and walks the walk, and I know that Daddy will ALWAYS be our girls' first true love!!

Cheers to a Daddy's love!!!

February Frolics

Last Sunday was just the biggest TEASE of Spring ever!! We couldn't wait to get outside and enjoy the day. While it was really a day of "doing nothing," the day was too pretty not to share. :) We packed ourselves a picnic (equipped with bologna sandwiches and pizza rolls), and headed up to the Fairfield dam to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather!!!

Perfect day for a kite!! Real men fly Barbie kites!!

Teaching Clairy the kite tricks!!

She quickly got the hang of it all by herself!! Big girl :)

She flew that kite for over an hour. I might add that the kite was a gift from Mammie.....she continues to give us sweet memories :)

Such a B-E-A-Utiful day in the neighborhood!!

Meanwhile, the big girls would run and frolic with Henry. :)

Baby girl kept right on flying that kite!!!  :)

Spot the kite??

We also played a killer game of Frisbee :)

Here's what happens when I attempt to throw the Frisbee at the camera like the husband. I'm so athletic and graceful. And I have great aim.

A few photo-ops :)

My favorite glasses ever!! Seriously. I absolutely LOVE them.



Such a fun, perfect day with our little girlies.....and little dog :)

I bet the Heavens have skies like this :)

While he thinks he's soooo funny.....

Clairy thinks that he wants to play "getty-up horsie!!" HA!!!

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE!!!

Oh man....Daddy has that "little girl frolic" DOWN PAT!!! :)

After channeling our inner- Julie Andrews, we headed over to take our first family boat-ride of the year!!!

Henry found his new spot!!

Cruising....on a Sunday afternoon!!

The girls got a little chilly after a while, so Daddy cocooned them. So much for that shirt!!

Henry is king of the world!!

Not really.....he's actually the biggest bum ever.

He's a great little guard-dog, though!! "Don't fall in, Daddy!!"

Goodbye, water!! Until next time.....

That night, Josh and I were discussing what a great day we had, and we realized that we hadn't spent a dime all day long. A simple reminder for us that the best things in life are free!!

Cheers to all the beautiful days that the Lord has made!!
