June 2015- Part 2

Happy Father's Day to a great man. It was a low key Sunday. We made paper awards with reasons we love and appreciate you. This was something we did for my mother on Mother's Day growing up, and now it has become a tradition in our family for Father's Day. Vance is especially forgiving and patient. I am lucky to have him!

Sometimes at the end of a stressful day, we just take a break and swing in the yard. One thing we love about our backyard is the space. When we moved in, we had a big fence. We took it down after a year, and it has made a great sledding hill and playing field:)

Enjoying Lick's ice cream in Excelsior at the Farmer's market. We usually go a few times each summer. Last summer, during one of our visits, Lauren fell in the 15 foot deep lake off this dock. She started sinking, and I jumped in after her and was able to get her above water. It was and still is a nightmare that I relive. It was a scary day. But anyway, this time she didn't fall in!

Sleeping Kate. Love those luscious cheeks and lips.
