Three birds...one stone

This weekend we had lots of reasons to celebrate Kev, three to be exact. So this post is dedicated to a great husband, an intense biker, and obviously a great dad.



Reason # 1: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
It has been 6 years since he hooked himself to this ball and chain. No complaints on my end (can't talk for Kev), I can't speak well enough about this man. What kind of romantic celebration was in store...a silent auction for the Scouts, with the kids.
Upside: Bid and won an awesome looking blueberry crisp. Downside: Yo Grabba Grabba Sophie grabbing hold and yanking it onto the church floor...upside down. Upside: It looked so good I ate it anyways, don't judge me.

Reason # 2: Bike Race
My kids have hope. Although their mother's physical abilities are a joke, Kev did a 45 mile bike race this weekend. He did awesome, and I'm trying to convince him to do it on a tandem bike with me next year, or better yet, pull me in the bike trailer.

Reason # 3: Father's Day
The girls love their dad. Given the option they would rather stay home with Kev than me. Whenever Ry is sick she always asks for her dad. I love it.

Also, I love my dad. I don't see him hardly enough with him living in Hong Kong, but he is there for me and I love him (I love you dad!).


So there I did it. Killed three birds with one stone (which is an awful saying) but you get the point.


The girls love their dad, and I'm willing them to inherit so many of his qualities.



Pre race. Go #1438! Did I mention he was the 6th biker to cross the finish line...I am in awe.





I love this smattering of pictures. I was trying to capture one of Kev and I in honor of our anniversary. Just like life though the kids wiggled their way into our moment...which made it a little gigglier.
