Father's Day and a Trip to the Cabin

We celebrated Father's Day with my Dad Saturday night. We were missing Carrie and Andres so we took this silly picture! Mom thought they were flying in that night, but about an hour before they were supposed to land, she found out they were not coming until Sunday. Senior moment for mom! Ha! Anyway, we had a great time celebrating Dad!  

 

 Sunday we had a relaxing morning and all the boys watched Karate Kid--second guessing that now with all the new karate moves they gained, but Joel loved every second of snuggle time with the boys! Then, we went to lunch to celebrate him!

 That afternoon the boys and I drove up to the cabin. I didn't have any plans for the boys this week, so we thought that it would be fun to go spend a few days with my parents. And as a bonus, Carrie and Rooney unexpectedly joined us! Carrie and Andres had another terrible week last week--they just cannot catch a break. Someone broke into their house in the middle of the night last Wednesday night and took all their electronics, wallets, and all their valuables, and even took Carrie's keys and took her car out for a joy ride, wrecked it, then parked it back in its spot, full of cigarette butts and drugs. Nice, huh. All while they were sleeping. They never even woke up. And even worse, Rooney was in the room right next to where they took everything...we just won't let our minds go there. Anyway, the good news out of all of that is that they immediately hopped on a plane flight HOME! Andres had to travel this week, so we are getting some extended Carrie and Rooney time!

My parents are having some landscaping work done in the yard and of course the bobcat was a huge hit!

 As was the dirt pile! White shirt was not a good choice!

 Ahhhhhh!

 Everything is a bat to Harrison...here he is in hitting position with a golf club. He is dangerous!

 Gator ride selfie!

 We went hiking one morning. It was just so hot though that we weren't out for long. So much for the mountains being cooler!

 Hudson's favorite part of the whole trip was watching the men work. He drove them crazy. They were so sweet to him and answered all of his 5,000 questions.

 Hudson was obsessed with Rooney too!

 She is the most perfect baby!

 Isn't she the cutest baby!?!?! I just LOVE the pigtails! And I think she loved country life! Maybe not all the sweating, but she loved being outside!

 Life in the fast lane!

Cousins!

 He fed her several bottles and was just so sweet.

 It was only 98 degrees, but the boys wanted s'mores so you do what you gotta do.

 They were good though! It was worth a little more sweat!

The boys became real firefighters and got to extinguish the fire with the hose, and loved every second of that!

We had a great few days! We were all sad to leave yesterday, but we've got more fun planned the next few weeks!
