All who know me well, have heard me ramble about my fiery love for my parents. They are full of sugar and spice... love the sugar, sometimes wish they would hold the spice. Wonderful examples of being each others best supporter. My Dadikins life have been filled with accomplishment, travel, bravery and sacrifice (he had seven kids after all). He is a man. A pipe leaks he reads a book and replaces it, children need nice sturdy bunk beds and he builds them; any reason to give jewelry to his woman and he is purchasing it, oh and he can save lives too. My dad worked three jobs to make sure his family was comfortable and that college was paid for. He is a fountain of knowledge. Any question you ask, he has an answer and 98.9% of the time he is correct. I don't know of a state or country my dad hasn't traveled to. Growing up with him as my dad gave me peace of mind and great confidence in him. I trust, respect and adore him. Thank you Dadikins for treating my mom with so much kindness and love. Congrats on your one job retirement Dad! Two more to go....
Having a little prince charming has been wonderful and strangely fitting for this girly girl. He is sweet, smell delicious, squishy and oh so much fun to kiss. Two boys in the house is not bad, just more room for my clothes, beauty products, shoes and handbags (couldn't just pick one). And i should add he is a delight to dress...
This is the first time Kev has mowed in 7 1/2 years... good form. Barek slept on the porch because he could not resist the mowers purr. Kev and I pulled weeds in our lava rock backyard for an hour and I feel it was not much of an improvement as all that was left was rocks and a few trees. blah. I took it upon myself to surprise Kev by fertilizing the lawn- apparently using the whole bag on a wee lawn is not better... so far the front yard is surviving my over zealous fertilizing frenzy. 
Bear loved the hot springs! He kept his eyes closed most of the time -enjoying sheer relaxation. He is 11 weeks today and already a little water babe, the ladies were all over him trying to get his attention. 
Barek was having a hard time falling asleep for his nap so I wrestled those crazy arms into a blanket and prince charming slept happily ever after...
