happy father's day

I couldn't be more thankful for Matthew.  He is the best Pops ever!  McLain is the luckiest boy in the world, not only does MC already have a ridiculous shoe collection, he also has 4 dogs and 2 turtles all thanks to his Pops!What more could a boy want? Watching the two of them together absolutely solidifies that God hand-picked Matt to be McLain's father.

I wanted to reminisce on the Pops that he's been....

pennys for pops and pennys for mc

right after mc was born, matt was taking picture after picture of the two of them. it is one of my favorite memories of that day. he asked me, "do you want to hold him?" and i didn't, not yet anyway. i just wanted to continue watching him be in awe of his son.

summer life

i have to say, our first week of summer vacation was a success! pops had to work, so we picked him up and headed to the closest park for a picnic.  mc saw his first movie, snow white and the huntsman. we went to taco thursday. we went to the splash park and watched all the big kids get wet.  if you have kiddos and have not been to the splash park, i highly recommend it! it's completely free and lots of fun. (it's located in dallas at skillman and church, right across from lake highlands h.s.) we went to the zoo. and just like his pops, mclain was most interested in the reptiles and amphibians.  i was also very interested in the r and a, but mainly because the exhibit was air conditioned. and then of course, we hung out at the pool. he doesn't enjoy it as much as his baths, but i imagine as the days get hotter and the water gets warmer he will probably change his mind. we even got invited to go kayaking at white rock lake, but unfortunately we were too exhausted.
