Father's Day Weekend 2012

We had a great weekend! It was filled with family, food, running, and other favorites. I am better at taking pictures for keepsake since I post them. I value having pictures for our memories.

These pictures start with last Wednesday evening at our small group Bocce Ball game. Each family had a picnic dinner in the park.

Since I've been on the high chair search, our friends Rachael and Jimmy let us borrow their seat. So here's our current set up. Having two babies hungry at the same time sends me into a frenzy. It hits all of a sudden, and now I can feed both without having to hold one and seat one in the high chair. Thanks, Rachael!
Friday we went to Murfreesboro and had our own Allen reunion with Jordan's parents (Mimi and Geep) and Uncle Kyle, Aunt Courtney, Paxton, Caitlin and Blake. Slumber party!! It was so sweet to see how much Mac and Paisley are loved by their cousins. I can't believe we are the ones with babies! Crazy!

Bath time with Caitlin and Dada. 
Before we left Saturday morning, Mac and Paisley were surrounded with cousins :o) Not really sure about Blake's pose here... goof.
 Jordan and Kyle ran the RC Cola Moonpie race at the Bell Buckle festival, and we were there to cheer them across the finish line.
While Jordan and Kyle waited to get post race foods, Courtney and I ate a biscuit at a local cafe. Then we shopped at the different tents set up. This is my treasure: fresh kettle corn popcorn. I love love love it!! 
Everyone left for Nashville after the race, and I took Mac and Paisley to visit my cousin who was in town for the day. Leave it to my family to act so goofy and put a whipped topping container on my daughter's head...

 Look at this dog! It's a "medium" doxen, but he fits in a pocket right now. So sweet.
Sunday, Father's Day, we spent the morning in Nashville and headed home that afternoon. We stopped to visit with Nana and then Geep on our way out of town. 
I got stung by a stinking wasp. Jerk. The picture is of my "wound" and the rolled tobacco I used to make it stop hurting. I think it's a myth because it still hurt afterward. 
Don't judge me by my nice tan, folks. Ha!
Resting in the car. Mac got excited when he saw my phone. Big shock.

 Dinner for Father's Day!! Mac was busy eating his bread.
Happy Father's Day to my own dad! 
>>Insert a long overdue recent picture!<<

Happy Father's Day to you, Jordan! Thank you for being the wonderful, amazing Dad that you are to our kiddos :o) We are beyond blessed by you.

  1. Mac and Paisley are just so cute! Quick question...is the BOB you everyday stroller? If so do you find it easy to use in all situations. We currently have a City Mini which we love but have thought about selling and getting a BOB so we have more versatility with it. Curious to get input from another twin mom!

    1. We LOVE the BOB! It has become our main stroller- we use it more than not. If I'm running into Target or somewhere space could be tight, I use the Britax, but mostly I avoid those places. The BOB has been great for every occasion we've used it- holidays, picnics, parks, running, etc. The air filled tires allow us to go on all terrains- even gravel. Plus it is super spacious for them. I think it is SO worth every penny!
