Happy Father's Day

On father's day we went to church as a family and then went to the Santa Monica Pier.

Daddy and Nate on the ferris wheel

All the rides on the pier

The view was beautiful from the top of the ferris wheel, both of the boys really like being "up high" although mommy was a little scared (I am not normally afraid of heights but add two toddlers to the mix and you can make any ride frightening)

The boys playing some of the boardwalk games

We had a hard time with skee ball, they wanted to throw the balls instead of rolling them...

Daddy showing Nate

Benny and his Juee

Nate picked out a snake for his prize and Brian won Benny a dragon.

The boys both rode the carousel

Me and Benny

We stopped at Redondo Beach to play on the way home

Benny and his Aggie hat he has been wearing for over a week. He puts it on first thing in the morning and takes it off right before he goes to bed. He also love these shoes of Nate's that are one size too big but he insists on wearing them.

We had a wonderful father's day. Brian we love you!

Brian and I are so blessed to have such amazing Dad's as role models. I will be passing through Dallas on the way to a wedding on Thursday. My sister and I plan on celebrating Father's Day with my Dad then. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
