The Father's Day celebrations continued into Monday as we visited with Peeps to show him just how much he means to our family.
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani
This quote is held especially true in regards to my grandparents... they live their lives for their grandchildren... It is my hope that the boys will always remember the valuable lessons that they learn from their Nan & Peeps. All four are blessed... the boys for having such remarkable great-grandparents... and Nan & Peeps for having such amazing grandsons keeping them young.

Today we headed over to Lindsey's for a play date (oh and yea, a Mommy date too.) The boys... well, they were boys. Wrestling, screaming, fighting, sharing, hugs, kisses, tantrums... you name it, we experienced it. Oh but these two are very luck 3 year olds to have a best buddy from infanthood to grow up and share all these memories with. Thanks for having us over all day... and for the amazing mexican dinner... we had too much fun!
The Besties.
Boys, boys, boys.
Lindsey assisting in the walking process... and baby Connor all smiles.
Sharing, fighting, and wrestling... here's the proof.
Oh Auntie Lynda & Uncle Cody... I wore this special just for you!
After all that play...
A nap was just what the "Mommy's" ordered.

Ashley, Thank you so much for sharing this. The words meant so much to me! The pictures are the most precious ever! The words unconditional love stood out and so did the fact that I also lived my life for my child. Maybe, it was not so unusual. Maybe, it was actually a loving and normal way to be. God Bless You and your wonderful family!
from Linda
What beautiful pictures of the boys & your Nan and Peeps :-D
I loved the pics from your play date too! How fun!! I love the pics of the boys playing :-D
I am so excited for Sunday!!

Thanks Liz :) Can't wait til Sunday either!
Linda, it is unfortunate that more parents are not living up to that "unconditional love" aspect. We live our lives for our children as well, and cherish every second. Jon and I truly want to follow Nan & Peeps example for the way they have lived their lives with their child, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. They are an inspiration to Jon and I.
Thank you for the meaningful comment... it means a lot.
Wishing you and yours the best.
Great pics! Thanks for coming over and spending the day with us! We had a great time!
Awww I love those pictures. I loved the quote too. All grandparents should be like that. To bad that some cant be there for their own children and then their own grandchildren. But it is their lost not ours. I loved the shirt on Shawn. His Aunt Lynda and Uncle Cody must really love him to give him such a great shirt. LOL. LOve ya all and miss you a lot
