father's day


:: we celebrated ryan's first father's day with a summer fun packed weekend.  after tahoe, we drove straight to casa de awesome for a campout with the familia.  fancy steaks and epic sunsets.


:: my favorite part about camping is the morning.  waking up in a hot tent and camp stove breakfasts.  finn enjoyed waking up tante em by poking her face.  poor tante.


:: cards and presents.  ryan was a happy camper.  and finn was tuckered out.


:: we spent most the time in the pool  - finn was fan. and mama abernethy even arranged for a little camp craft!  that clever lass.


::  after our campout, it was home to shower and then off to casa de kool to watch the end of the us open and enjoy a little cookout.  i love pops' bbq.  finn couldn't get enough of great grandma phyllis and mimi even shared a bottle of rombauer with us!  it was a pretty fabulous way to end our weekend.


i am surrounded by smart, hilarious, kind and fun fathers every where i turn. my own, my father-in-law, my grandpas, and now, my mister.  finn and i are so lucky and grateful.

lately...

::  hannah had a birthday fiesta and finn met his twin, emma!



:: we have been spending most afternoons in our whale pool.  finn believes that the hose is the eighth wonder of the world.



::  dylan turned one!  and we all celebrated his big day in a goldfish wonderland.  it was perfect.  and apparently, finn enjoys the older girls.



::  there was even a photo booth.  could you just die?



::  we spend an afternoon with some of my favorite little people.  and their parents.  who are also amongst my favorite.  can you believe how these twins just keep getting bigger AND cuter?



::  papa treated finn to his first tractor ride.  he was so enthralled, he was speechless and expressionless.



::  mimi had a birthday!!  and even though it was her big day, finn got a present.  watch out!



::  finn had his first taste of spaghetti.  he thought it was alright but much preferred to play as if the sauce were paint.  finn's art play made for some awesome cleanup.



::  we headed up to tahoe for a spontaneous overnighter with the caldwell familia. 



::  it was everything you hope a tahoe trip will include: beach time, bbq, hot tubs, baby snuggles, adult beverages, fresh mountain air walks, pajama mornings, kids on decks...you know, heavenly.
