How lucky my babies are to enjoy the love of 4 grandpas...
who aren't afraid of being slobbered on...
I know it's customary for me to have brought Trenton breakfast in bed on Father's Day, but it didn't go down that way this year. He actually made some yummy breakfast and brought it up as I was getting Emma and Ben out of bed. We all plopped on Emma's bed and enjoyed the most delicious egg sandwiches together. This is especially meaningful to me because Trenton is kind of the "feeder" in our family. Don't get me wrong, I love to cook, but when it comes to day to day nutrition, Trenton is the man. He's gotten me through some pretty crappy times when food was the last thing on my mind. He'll get home from work and realize I hadn't eaten all day, and instead of offering to make me something which he knows I'll decline, he makes himself something delicious, sits next to me and takes a bite. Within minutes, we're sharing whatever treat he's made and I'm nutritionally satisfied. I love him.
And so do they...
There's nothing more attractive than a man who takes his responsibilities as a father so seriously that he prefers to be called Daddy.

While they were away, Trenton went boating with his brother and then we went to Estes Park with Shannon, Steve, Autum, and Matt. My dad put us up in his timeshare and we had fun just goofing around Estes. It rained most of the time, but no one seemed to care.
We went to this adorable Christmas shop that had everything you could think of...including Trenton's favorite- a lit wreathe made entirely of shotgun shells.
This is where he proposed, in a white lit, tree blanketed gazebo that was sprinkled with multi-colored rose petals.
In other news, Emma started swimming lessons last week. I've never seen her so excited about anything before. Her favorite part was the Little Mermaid goggles Aunt Shanny brought her. She wore them for several days straight. I had to be sure she wasn't wearing them at night so her eyes would have a chance to breathe.
Trenton has almost finished our deck. It's so much done that we were able to have Shannon and Steve over for dinner al fresco. I promise we'll finish it this week and I'll post pictures.
Love,
