our father's day weekend ...

in pictures!

i couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful men we have in our family!  they have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for all of us!  

xxoo

weekend in fredericksburg - warning picture overload

what a celebration weekend it was!

the oldest of the o'connell great grandchildren graduated high school.

and someone is starting her last year in her twenties...

even though this yummy cake only shows four candles

 (i'm not gonna lie there honestly are days i do feel that young).

  we had a great weekend together with family.

we tried swimming for the first time. 

but i think the water was a little too chilly.  football was the sport of choice.

on saturday night, my cousin threw an awesome graduation reception for her oldest son.

my sister's amazing cookies!

yep they taste as good as they look too!

we finally met the two new additions to the family, liam and riley.

and we all waited patiently to hold them. 

so so cute!

by the end of the night the littlest ones had their own party.

we realized we will be having high school graduations in this family, almost every year, from here on out! 

the clean up crew.

aren't they cute?

sunday morning we were able to go to mass together at st. marys.  mama and daddy's favorite of course.  then we went out to dinner to celebrate double birthday's!

mama's and jack's second cousin, landon's.

i sure missed our other birthday buddy on this weekend.

i couldn't decide if it was my crazy hormones, the fact that it's been two years since we have gotten to celebrate together, or that we were staying in his small town for the weekend. 

 but i think i basically just plain missed him.

we always will. but we have to know he is  c e l e b r a t i n g  more than us these days.

:)  

 little man was not feeling so well that day.  the hard playing he did the night before plus allergies was not a good combo. 

we headed home after lunch.  daddy was the good man to let the birthday girl and her baby boy both sleep the whole way.  then we slept some more when we got home.  jack, you are feeling much better after a few good nights sleep. we've got to get ready for the other busy summer weekends we have planned ahead. 

take me out to the ball game - daddy edition :)

yep .....it's your new favorite song.

you play "bball" everyday.

proud to yell "ah-tros" to the tv when you want to watch "bball"

you are making your dad...

 one. happy. daddy.

xxoo
