Happy Father's Day, Happy Grandfather's Day!

Father's Day was such a fun day for Alex and I. We went to his Dad's house and joined his sister and her kids (in picture above), Alex's 2 brothers, and of course...his Dad! It is also his Dad's birthday this week, so we celebrated both. It was so funny because Alex's sister bought some "trick" candles for the birthday cake & we all couldn't wait to see his Dad struggle with blowing them out. She lit the candles & we watched in anticipation, his Dad blows them out, and they didn't re-light! His sister's face was so funny as she was more bummed out by them not working then his Dad was.

Our two neices were adorable as always! They dressed up in their Disney princess dresses & gave their Father's day gifts to their Dad. You could tell it really melted his heart.

All in all, the day continued to make Alex and I excited to become parents some day. I know Alex is going to be a great dad and I can't wait for him to have that opportunity.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. We love you!

Lightning McQueen!

My INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, PERFECT husband surprised me and took me to see my family out of state. We packed up the car after we both got home from work on a Friday and drove through the night to surprise my family for the weekend. It was one of those weeks where I just needed a big hug from my mom, to hear my sister's contagious laugh, and to be there in the morning when my nephew wakes up and gives me the kind of hug that makes any heart melt.

My nephew is arguably the most adorable little boy out there. He is almost 3 and worships the Disney movie, "Cars". He has every character car from the movie, some he has multiples of, and says "Liiiiightting McQueen" cuter than you can imagine. I just so happen to drive a red car and my nephew is convinced that it's the lifesize version of Lighting McQueen. In the picture about, Alex let him sit in the passenger seat of "Lighting McQueen" for a few minutes and I think my nephew's smile says it all. You would think he was at Disney World or something!

What would we do without family......
