first haircut, father's day & other ramblings

Monday, Schmonday....here we are again! I've got nothing to complain about though because 1.) It's SUMMER. 2.) We're going to the beach this week! Woooohoo! I wanted to pop in and post a little update before we leave though :) We had a fun weekend in Abilene with our families!

--I had a hair appointment Saturday to get some fresh highlights, so Jaqs came along and got her first trim, too! I really didn't know how it was going to go, but she was such a good girl!! She just sat on my lap and munched away on her graham cracker. I was very proud of her, and her hair looks so cute! She, of course, didn't need much of a cut, just enough to get the scraggly ends off...it looks so cute! I've been going to Holly since I was TWELVE! She's the best!
--Baby girl has had a blast playing in Grammie & G-Pop's backyard. She mastered climbing up the steps and sliding down her slide on her own...such a big girl! I think she'll be outside most of the time we're away :)
--We celebrated our favorite guys Saturday evening when both mine & Rob's grandparents could join us and had a great time! Yummy food, gifts for our favorite guys, and quality time spent...that's what it's all about!

--We continued on celebrating Rob & my dad Sunday, and just had a fun day spent together.  I'm so thankful for these two and the dads (and now grandpas) they are. Jaqs and I are lucky girls to have them!
 --Jaqs made her first foot craft for part of G-Pop's gift, and I think it's safe to say it might have been one of his favorite gifts ;) There's not much sweeter than baby feets!
 --We had to do it big because G-Pop will have Jaqs by himself for the first couple days we're gone. How many grandpas do you know willing to do that? I think it's pretty great!
--I also want to wish my big brother the happiest of birthdays today! He became a daddy just a few weeks ago, and he's already rocking at it, but that's no surprise! I look up to him in so many ways...one of my very favorite people! He keeps us laughing, is one of the smartest people I know, and he rarely gets his feathers ruffled. He loves all of us unconditionally, and has always been a source of encouragement for me. 
I love you, KB!!

--I've got a few guest posts scheduled for this week, so I hope you'll check those out and show some love for the awesome mama's posting on my behalf! I'm so excited to do this for the first time!

--Hope you all have a wonderful week, and I'll see ya next week! Don't worry...I'll soak up some sun for you ;) Can't wait to park my hiney on the beach with my hubby and our besties!

a daddy's love

There's truly nothing like a daddy's love for his daughter is there?
It's such a special relationship. One that definitely shapes the way a girl views love, trust, and many other values, if you ask me. A daddy is a little girl's first love!
I'm blessed with the perfect-for-me father, and I'm so very thankful for him.
my dad and me - 1988
July 5, 2008
My dad is now Jaqsy girl's G-Pop, and it is the sweetest thing! He adores her with every ounce of his being...it's quite clear for anyone to see! I think he was made for this grandpa business :)
I knew Rob was going to make an excellent dad, but he's even better than I could have ever imagined. He just bursts with pride over our little angel...
just look at the adoration!
Watching their sweet little bond makes my heart swell and my eyes go misty.
I can't imagine anything better, really. Jaqs will learn so many things from her daddy...patience, what love is, and football, of course. Most importantly her daddy will show her what to expect from men and her husband. Not that her dad will let her date...ever ;)
true love
Rob has been so hands-on from day one, and I'm grateful for the way he just jumps in. He had never changed a diaper before Jaqs, but now he's diapering, burping, swaddling, lotioning, and accessorizing like a pro. He's so great at being a girl-dad!
bedtime stories
We celebrated father's day with Rob's grandparents while we were in Abilene last weekend, and Jaqs was giving Popo the biggest grins! He loved it. So special...I'm glad I have pictures!
 Unfortunately Rob lost his dad when he was just a baby, but I just know that he would be extremely proud of his son and the father that he's become.

Happy Father's Day Dad and Rob!! You both ROCK at being dad!!
