Weekend FUN with a friend~ and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

This past weekend (Father's Day weekend) we watched our friend James while his mommy and daddy worked...

We had SO much fun! On Saturday we went building with Nana then to Michael's with Nana to make our Dads a key chain then home for some birthday prep for Peanut (the boys played while my mom helped me)

Peanut gets into the building as well!

Aren't they the cutest?

Then on Sunday (Father's Day) we watched him again... but today was special... not only because it was a day to celebrate our daddy but because we went to church. YES~ finally! We have been talking about it for some time but things have gotten in our way so we put our foot down and went! Our church of choice ~ Harvest Bible Chapel in Prescott Valley. It was AWESOME! The kids went to Sunday school (the boys) and Peanut went to nursery... they all had fun! The service was really great with a great message... well worth it! The boys made Dad mugs for the craft in Sunday school ~

After church I took Ry out to breakfast for Father's Day to IHOP... good company and ok food. But while we were there I got stopped in the bathroom by a lady who said she recognized me from church; I told her it was our first time and we talked for awhile. THEN when we went to pay our bill we were greeted by the hostess telling us that a gentleman came up and paid our bill but didn't want us to know who he was. REALLY this does happen! Supposedly the were sitting right behind us (not at all the lady I was talking to) all the man put on the receipt was "God Bless Happy Father's Day!" WOW! But what gets me is that while at church I had put tiding into the basket... for some reason I felt moved to do so (although we really didn't have the extra $ (whatever amount it was) to do so (especially since we were going out to breakfast) but I felt like I should) I truly believe because God gives to those who give that he spoke to us through this man who paid our bill. This was a great experience to show Ryan! I am excited... Ry wants to go again on Sunday!

BEST Daddy in the whole world! 

After church (after awhile of playing the Wii) we took the kids swimming... this was SOOOOO much fun and I must tell you that our Bubba is a fish! He can now swim UNDER water! And he is really excited to show you that! Here is a video of him swimming~

Peanut herself is ALSO a fish... out of water! I think that if she could live in water she would... she LOVES to swim! It doesn't matter how cold the water is you wouldn't know it from her! When you have both boys shivering she is just swinging her hands all around and trying to jump... LOVE her!

He was cold!

Later that night we had my parents and sister & Marshall over for ribs! Again fun! We did some backyard tree climbing! And Peanut did something SPECIAL as well but I will save that for Sunday's blog (gotta check back)
