summer things & father's day

we have been having a lot of fun lately around here. this stage little bennet is in is so fun! she is so sweet, curious, determined, brave, a little stinker, and so happy right now. i am really loving watching her grow and learn new things. right now she is determined to climb up on everything. she also loves to take steps while you hold her hands. she REALLY wants to see what the cat food is all about and loves to explore the house (all the places she isn't suppose to go) even though it is a lot more tiring chasing her, this new stage has been a blast.

pete's 1st father's day was a great day. so glad he was home. he had a show on saturday in st louis so he got to see my family. he ended up getting home at 5am. so when bennet woke we got up quietly to play and make him breakfast in bed. which he loved if i do say so myself :) bennet went down for a nap while we got ready for church. pete and i haven't been to church in FOREVER! that is the funny thing...being in a christian band and on the road a ton and he very rarely is home on sunday to go to church himself. this was also bennet's 2nd time in the nursery. it was so nice to sit and be with pete and learn while knowing bennet was getting well taken care of and having fun playing with other babies. after church we picked up some tacos at his favorite taco stand. we all took a 3 hour nap then got indian food and a movie for a night in.

i love sharing these little moments with my family. with pete being gone a ton he tends to miss these special days a ton. it is really hard...on both of us. it def makes us really appreciate them. even though i love that he is doing what he always dreamed of (and loves to do) i do wonder what it would be like to have him home. no longer missing birthdays, holidays, or anniversaries.

it is now summer! even though i am def more a spring time girl i do love taken bennet out in her little pool. she loves it! next year we will def join the y so she can swim in a bigger place. for now though this little cheap thing does the trick. ha

I didn't even think of him not being there for Father's Day! So glad he was! :) She also looks great in her pool. He suit is super cute.

Also, when do you get to Disney again? We just extended our trip to 9/3 because we found better flight deals... I thought it was maybe not until the 8th or 9th, but I thought I'd double check just to be sure! It'd still be fun to see you there!
