In regards to Fathers Day

I found this really cute article in Parenting magazine and thought I would share.

                                          
Reasons to Celebrate Dad

1.   Someone needs to deal with the "some assembly required" stuff.
2. Who else would dare face that black, fuzzy spider under the basement stairs?
3. His shaving cream comes in handy for rainy-day crafts.
4. He has an amazing ability to cheer up a cranky child merely by tossing him in the air.
5. He's happy to discuss the finer points of old Road Runner and Coyote cartoons with the kiddos.
6. No one else ever seems to know exactly where the bicycle-tire pump is.
7. He insists that you look even better than you did before you had kids. (and if he's lying, he does it really, really well.
8. Amazingly, macho man thought he is , he doesn't mind having his nails painted bright pink by an enthusiastic pre-school manicurist.
9. He doesn't make fun of you when you do yoga in the living room.  Well, most of the time.
10. Fatherhood looks sexier on him than you could have imagined.      

Cute quote I found from my friend


"Southern girls are Gods gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no women finer than one raised in the south.Once you go southern, may the good Lord help you, you never go back"- Kenny Chesney

Gotta love being a southern raised girl!

Adison Loves to Play

Our Little girl is very active.  She's always talking, yelling, playing, and running around the house.  She has discovered that she can climb and has managed to climb over her baby gates, which are pretty much useless to us now.  She has also figured out how to undo the baby locks on the cabinets.  Needless to say, my day with Adison is never boring:)
