Baseball, Bowling and Dad's

This father's day weekend was a busy and wet one. It all started with Austin's first All Star baseball game on Wednesday night. He was so excited and he did such a great job! He is number 22, which he chose. Austin and his Dad both love the number 2 for some reason.Here he is in all his catcher's gear!


Saturday we decided to go to Fat Cat's and bowl and eat some yummy pizza. We had a really good time. This is Dad teaching Austin the ropes of bowling.

Karlee was nervous about the whole thing. She figured it out and had a great time! She even came in 2nd place on the score board!

Look at that great form! Pro-bowler maybe?!?
The proud parents and BIG kids!
Karlee quite enjoyed the hand blower!


Friday of last week I got a phone call from my Mom saying that my Dad was at the emergency room. I was thinking "What?". As it turns out Dad was moving his company into a new building. In the process of unloading a truck, Dad was moving a filing cabinet out and it started to fall in one direction and my Dad lost his balance and fell into another direction. He fell on to the concrete from the tailgate of the moving truck and landed on his left hip. Well it turned out to be broken and he had surgery the following Saturday morning. If any of you know my Dad, he HATES to be idle. He is always busy doing something and I think this might come close to killing him. He has to stay home for 4 weeks to recover from surgery before going back to work. Poor guy! He is being a trooper though and taking it all in stride. We went to the hospital on Father's Day to spend some time with him and hopefully to cheer him up a bit. Here he is with Austin, Karlee and Emma.

My sister came a bit later than us and her kids brought some activities to keep themselves busy while we visited with Dad. Here is Karlee, Logan, Emma and Audrey quietly reading books and coloring. Good kids!


Dad even got up while we were there with his physical therapist and took a walk. It is amazing at how fast they want you to get moving after the surgery. Dad did well and I am sure he will do great in his recovery!
We also went to visit Jason's Mom to see how she was doing. If you recall Jason's Dad passed away last August. We like to check in on her around the holiday's so she doesn't get lonely. She is doing great and had even been outside weeding her vegetable garden last week in between rain storms.
It was a great holiday spent with a great Husband and Father, my Dad and family and Jace's Mom. We love all of the Dad's who have touched our lives!
