Father's

As it is Father's Day I am bound to say something about the Father's in my life. This is officially Trevan's first Father's Day and I am so proud of my wonderful husband. Trevan was a little upset, or maybe afraid when he found out he was going to be a father but ever since the day that our sweet Jude was born Trevan has been an amazing father. I will never forget the look in Trevan's eyes when he held Jude for the first time, its was so wonderful. Jude loves his Daddy and is always so excited when he comes home from work, he shows it by what Trevan calls "riverdancing" with his legs. I know Trevan will continue to grow into his role as a Father and he looks forward to many of baseball games and wrestling on the floor with his sweet Baby Jude.

I never had any doubts about his fathering skills because his own father, Roger, is so wonderful. I used to pray that Trevan would be a Dad like his and he his. Roger is the ideal Dad and husband for that matter. It is in his new role as Grandpa that Rog shines the most. Jude adores Rog and you can see it in any picture that has them both in it. I can't count how many times Rog will just take Jude from anyone who is holding him and snuggle and play with him. I cannot wait for Jude to get older so he can appreciate the Father figures in his life.

Now last but defiantly not least is my Dad Mike. I can't say too much bad about him because I am so much like him myself. Infact, one of my favorite things about me is my Dad. My Dad was a different Father than most but he was perfect for me. As a child no one could handle me but my Dad. He was always able to help things make sense for me and make me understand things, he could get through to me when no one else could. No one can make you laugh like my Dad and he is always there for you when you need him. I will always look up to him and look forward to taking care of him in his old age as he has requested.

Spencer Adams

As some of you may know, my husband is a little obessed with baseball, and for good reason. Trevan's Great-Grandfather's Spencer Adams was a professional baseball player in the 1920's. He played on 5 different teams and one of them was the New York Yankee's. In 1925 the Yankee's team had some very famous players on it including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. For Father's Day I found a bunch of these pictures and enlarged them and put them in frames. Trevan really loved it and I thought it would be cool to post some of these pictures. I mean who do you know that was a Pro-Baseball Player in the 1920's and had the oppurtunity to play wiht the original "greats". Pretty rare....

A Swimmer's Life For Me

Finally summer is here and we can swim. Swimming is my all time favorite past time and I am determined that it will be Jude's too. It's great because now I don't have to be alone when I go swimming and don't look quite as dorky because I have Peanut with me. We are quite the team!

High School Graduation

Trevan's little brother Brennan graduated from High School last week. As I sat and watched the festivites that take place with graduation I realized what a turning point in your life graduating from high school truly is. Overnight you go from being a child to and adult. Mandatory school is over for the rest of your life and you think that you are done learning. It seems like last week I was graduating from Lone Peak High but really it was 5 years ago, and I'm a Mom who blogs. I thought I knew everything then. I knew what I wanted from life, where I was going, and who I was going to marry and BOY WAS I WRONG. I mean I did get the basics down but life is not what you expect, in a lot of ways its better.

So here's to you Bubby, may your life be better than you expect.
