Father's Day Weekend

Despite me being diagnosed with Strep throat on Friday, we headed down to my hometown for the weekend as Alex planned on finishing up his bbq pit.  Saturday, I hung out with my nieces, and Saturday night we went to a Thai food party.  This party was a kid's dream...moon bounce, trampoline, power toy trucks and a giant swing set. I'm still a kid at heart, so I joined in the bounce house and trampoline fun (thanks child birth for not allowing me to be a trampoline stud). Sunday, Turner and I gave Alex his homed card, and a gift card to the gun range. We finally got on the road around 6pm to head back to Austin, and listened to the first half of the Spurs game on the radio, and finished up the second half at home....whoo hoo! Go Spurs Go!






To New & Old

 I was lucky enough to celebrate Father's Day with Alex, as well as my good ole' Dad, Buck, and the rest of my family.  I gave my Dad a 2 lb. bag of Twizzlers (Thank you Sam's), and a Dobro music book. Alex's gift hasn't come in yet (yes, I'm a procrastinator), but I'll share it with you when it arrives.  Dads are more important than people give them credit for, and sadly today they are losing their role as the leaders in the family.  God created men and women VERY differently, and it was for a purpose. Men should step up to the role, and women should let them. If I had to think of the most important lesson my Dad taught me, it would be, "Always trust your instinct." Over my life this has served me well in so many ways, and I hope to pass it on to my future children.  



Here's to a future father, and the many adventures he will have with his son.  All Alex can talk about is at what age can our son use a power tool to help him build a tree house. I'm in for it, aren't I?
