Our trip to Florida was wonderful! The plane trip was fine even though Addi did not sleep at all. On the way back they had open seats so Addi got to sit in her own sleep in her car seat which was much better than having to hold her. We would get up in the morning and go to the beach we could walk there from the house we stayed in. We would stay and play until it got to hot or the babies needed to go home then we would head home nap and eat lunch. The addition our house was in had a swimming pool so we would swim in the afternoon. In the evenings we would do different things one night my mom kept the babies and we went out and one night Justin and I went to eat together. It was beautiful the sand looks like snow...no oil or tar balls. It was wonderful someplace I would love to go back to I have more pictures and will post them when I upload them. In the mean time it has been back to life here. I was happy to see Sherman and Zoey and to be home. Justin is still super busy so we are just trying to find time to spend together.

Here is just a preview of what we have been up to this week ... paradise!!

We went to Amarillo this past week because Justins grandpa, Pops, passed away on Tuesday. Justin has the best grandparents and Justin would not be the man he is now if Pops had not been in his life. It was really nice to get to see the pictures of Pops and hear stories about him when he was younger. We hated the reason that we were there but it is one of the best times we have had together. It was nice to see everyone and spend time together. I hope Kenny having his grandkids there helped him. The picture of Addi and Kenny (J dad) two stepping is so sweet. I will be praying for everyone especially Grandma. We both loved Pops and he is missed. He was a great man and a great influence to Justin.

Justin has been looking crazy in some of his pictures because we count to three now for Addi and I guess J goes crazy hehe

We are a little behind...last weekend we went to the lake with the guys that are on Justins shift. It ended up not being to hot outside and Addi liked the water.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day Justin!!! We had a good day yesterday (we celebrated on Saturday). For the most part we were LAZY! Justin watched golf for awhile and I didn't do much either. On Friday, I made J his favorite dessert. It was with strawberry and cream cheese and whip cream so GOOD! J got an I-phone and he loved it. I want to tell J thank you for ALL that he does. He is an amazing husband/dad/person. Addi and I are so blessed to have him. I hope he had a great day!

Today we went to see my mom's new house and hang out with her for awhile. J has to work. Father's day are definitely better now that we have Addi but today is still hard for me. My Dad died almost 7 years ago and things are much better than they use to be but I still can't help to think about what it would be like today if my dad was here. I would love to see him with Addi. When my dad was sick and for about a year after he died was the hardest time in my life. People would tell me how proud my dad was of me. It was always amazing to me that at the worst time of my life and all the bad decisions I made that my dad still found a reason to feel proud of me. I understand more now that I have Addi. But I really wish he could see my life now. Who knows maybe he can....

These are some of my favorite pictures from today. How cute is Addi in her pigtails? I love them and she actually kept them in most of the day. Today we got to meet Blakely, Joni and Chris's new baby. She is so cute! I am so happy for them! Tomorrow we are going to celebrate Father's Day because J has to work on Sunday. This year I wanted to make it a good day. Last year did not go as I planned. J was golfing a couple of times a week last summer so I was going to get him a new golf bag but let him pick it out. Instead he took his clubs in and had them regriped. I also got him a book about what being a dad means...it stayed in his car until a couple of months ago and now it is in the floor in the garage...guess he didn't like it (Never mind reading it) so I tried harder this year!

Flooding

Today we had floods...real flooding. I did not notice the rain until about 5:45 this morning but just thought it was raining. Justin was at work and he had to start blocking intersections at 4 this morning so people would not pass by. I have never seen water like this it was POURING rain. J was suppose to have class but it was canceled so they could stay and help out. He was walking in water that was chest high. It was crazy cars my cars size had water past the windows! I feel bad for the people whose homes were damaged I don't think most people have flood insurance here...
