Bradyen can say Chandler!

Ever since Brayden was one, he has always called Chandler "Nagger" yeap...thats what he calls him! Chandlers baseball team has even cheered Chandler on by saying "Go Nagger"!! Nice Huh? We have tried everything to get him to stop, but its a habit! So recently- I challenged Brayden - that if he could say Chandler (naturally) for a week, He would get a transformer...he HE DID IT. Now he doesnt even remember Chandlers old name! Yipee!!

Here Chad told Bray to wipe off the breakfast table..and waiting there was his transformer!

Love, Melissa

Fathers Day

Fathers Day started with Breakfast in bed for Chad. Next, he got to open gifts!

He got an outdoor speaker, a flatscreen small TV, boxers, a homemade tye from Brayden, and his annual DAD photo and cards.

Next...he had to mow the lawn with a push mower we borrowed from a friend. He hasnt had to mow our lawn in 9 years! And he had to on Fathers day!

Because, Chad and I decided to have a Father's Day Cookout. I am so glad we did!

We all had a blast. It was a nice day celebrating with friends and most of all - Celebrating the amazing fathers. The kids seemed to have a good time too...they stayed very busy!

Here is a picture of the girls....the guys were off playing a competitive game of basketball...we let them...being that it was "their day"!

The big boys caught a fish! And here is a picture of some sleeping kids at 12am!

To Chad. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for all you are. Thank you for what you do for us, daily. You are our Rock, the pillar of this family. I RESPECT you - will all I am. The boys and I love you so much. We are so blessed to have you.

To My Dad. Today you gave me a scare. He had a scary accident (a fall) - so he had to stay home for the weekend...away from one of us- and had to care for himself. So to him, be careful...and I love you - you are the best- I am so grateful to have you.

Off to sleep...we are meeting friends to swim at 10am!

Love you all~melissa
