{this moment}

This moment happened a few weeks ago but I couldn't resist. I will be posting a few fun "this moments" leading up to Father's Day on June 17th. We love scheming and making plans for special days like Father's day!

Robert and William - both after a long day of work!

Oh Lovely Lady May

 Hi Everybody!  We have had an exciting start to our summer. Check out the pictures for details!!

William spends alot of time chillin' with Daddy in the garage.

as well as being held by Bobby.  He is a good motivation.  Bobby will get things done well and fast so he can go play with William.  He also, takes pride in telling everyone we meet that this is his little brudder!

William loves to chill in the center of attention.  Here he is in the middle of the food table when we were picnicking with my sisters.  Later that day he was snoozing on the island at my Mama's house.

 William's first swim at 3 1/2 weeks old. He loved it!

Joyce is quite the fish and spends the whole time on Robert's back like a barnacle.  She is very good at  keeping her head above water as he swims around.

My little fishy family!

Over Memorial weekend we all went down to the ranch with the Leon Schapers.  Bobby would wake up in the morning go grab this green helmet, because it is the only one that fits his mondo huge head, and wait for the boys to wake up and give him a ride. the only way you could get him  to leave is if you promised to go fishing.

The handsome hunter got a big one with one .22 shot!

Mama Lucy and her little chicks

I left William on the bed and went to get changed.  When I came back I found that he was now Joyce's little doll.. Thank goodness for guardian Angels.

Bobby and Daddy fishing.  All the other kids would be playing and he stayed right there and fished.  He finally did catch one, though.

Cute dirty face.

Lots of little Ranchy bathing beauties.

William chilling out helping us garden.

Bobby graduated form preschool last week.  Yay Bob!  they did a great little program with song and dance and then a party after.  A great memento was that they had all the kids sign each others white shirt. A great idea that store's easy

Snapshots of a Birthday Party!

Peter turned one and I still can't believe it. My little boy is not so little anymore! Here are a few pictures of the party we threw for him. If you want to read all about his birth you can click here.

Grandpa and Grandma Doll came all the way from Canada to visit, it was so special to see them!

Three generations of some good looking men!

This is about the best shot I got. He wasn't too sure of all the attention so Daddy held him for most of the birthday song.

Once he discovered what it really was he had no problem eating it!

This is all a little boy really wants to do on his big day.

This was round two of the party, we had an open house which meant friends and food ALL day! It was so fun. This is Hazel his little friend. She was born two months before Peter with the same lovely midwife. :)

MMM, mmmmm, cupcakes! That's all for now folks!

Happy Feast of St. Justin Martyr!

Prayer for today:

Saint Justin Martyr, pray that in our search for the Truth, God will open the gates of light for us the way God did for you and give us the wisdom no human being can give. Amen
