Daddy Time

Since the beginning of the school year, it seems that our lives are tremendously busy. I honestly feel like we are never at home, which makes it tremendously hard to keep up with the "every day stuff of life". Phil has been working a lot of hours, and is therefore missing out on a lot of Daddy time at night. Which, by the way, makes it even more tremendously hard to keep up with the "every day stuff of life". He gets up every morning and cooks breakfast, and helps get the boys ready for school. Usually by the time he gets home at night though, the boys are in bed and I'm way to exhausted to carry on a conversation. He does try to get home at least a couple of nights a week in time to bath the boys and help get them in the bed. However, the past couple of weekends, he has been spending some very nice Daddy time with the boys. The boys love it, and so do I since I get some time alone, although my days at home have not been as productive as I would like for them to be.

Two weekends ago both boys got to spend some one-on-one time with Daddy. Saturday morning Daddy and Trey got up and went dove hunting. Saturday afternoon, Jesse and Daddy rode the tractor. ALL AFTERNOON! Sunday afternoon, Daddy took both boys dove hunting. They only got 3 birds, but the memories they made are far more precious. And. Daddy let Jesse shoot his 20 gauge. With a lot of help of course. Daddy held it up to Jesse's little shoulder and helped him pull the trigger. Jesse said it hurt, but just a little. I can't believe how big both my little men are getting!

This past weekend was our big wedding weekend! We spent Friday night at the rehearsal, and Saturday night at the wedding. Saturday afternoon though, was all about getting ready for the boys big fishing trip on Sunday! While Mama was running around getting ready for the wedding, the boys were at the warehouse working on Daddy's truck, at the house working on the boat, and at the grocery store getting the must have snacks for their fishing trip. They left well before the sun was up on Sunday morning, and didn't return until way past bed time! They all had a BLAST, and caught a ton of fish. Apparently, Jesse is quite the little fisherman, and Trey is all about netting the fish! And since hubby will use ANY excuse to hit the coast, I foresee many more trips in the future. I just hope that I can maybe be a little more productive myself next time.
