daddy-O.

my daddio turned 54 yesterday!!!!:) And he is the best. Good day;) 

 sometimes he just can't smile. It's weird...and hilarious! He's passed this trait onto me - the only fault;) And I've deemed it - The Chucky Face;)

 dad and homer hanging out:)

i gotta say. My dad, for real, is the best. I know I annoy him with constant calls but seriously...I can't make a decision without his opinion! I just can't!!!!! And now that we've bought another fixer-upper...he's probably regretting ever having more than one kid;) But had he not had more than one...he would have never had me...which means he would have always had a gaping hole in his heart that Courts could not have filled - she's not the favorite;)

so basically....you're welcome dad. I'm happy to be here to make your life better;)

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

tidbits and kisses:)

we will be getting on an airplane in about 48 hours. Crossing the ocean. Going to another country for just over 3 weeks...by ourselves...without our family...BY.OURSELVES.

believe me...there are nerves.

to get my mind off of things I'm going to look back on a perfect day. A day I already miss...our Wedding:)

UP getting my makeup did prior to the Ceremony. An added expense, seeing as I forgot my entire make-up bag sitting at home:(

BUT it was a great treat and I have no regrets about that!

UP/DOWN the table set-up. Everything was quite simple...exactly what we wanted:)

UP we set-up our computer at the wedding dinner to play 'cocktail' tunes. I'm SO glad we did that:)

UP dad and mom. Pretty much adore this photo:)

i'm still patiently waiting for our professional photos. I'm actually not too anxious and I think the vacation has a little something to do with that:)

I can't wait to see what views she got!! I'll post those as soon as I can!!!

dad day.

yesterday was Father's DAYYYYYY!!! Probably my dad's most favorite day of the ENTIRE year. I like to think it has something to do with the 4 amazing, beautiful lives that he helped bring into the world and how proud he is of each of us (blah blah blah) but I thinkkkk it may have more to do with the fact that this is one of 3 days (birthday, fday, Christmas) a year that he gets to indulge in a shopping trip to all his favorite stores AND food on us:)

UP that went into my belly. And I'm almost sure my thighs immediately ate it up and will store it there FOR.EVERRRRRR!!!!

UP pigg and I on Father's Day:)

it was a great day and even though we are lucky enough to spend a lot of time together regardless of holiday's and special occasions...it's still a great day to see dad let loose and be a total giddy kid...or more of a giddy kid than usual:)

love you tons dad! I couldn't be prouder to call you my pa and I strive to make people laugh as much as you do:)

33 yearssssss:)

these 2 crazy kids have been together for 33...THIRTY THREE years!!! Now a days...that doesn't seem very common!

i'm going to try to avoid getting too sappy but not sure I will succeed.

i feel very lucky to have such incredible parents. For reallll. They are more than I could have ever hoped for and have passed on to me all the qualities that make ME...so freaking special;)

Happy Anniversary to the most wonderful couple I know... Jacob and I look up to you guys in so many ways:)
