Playing favorites

As a full time mom to my two  boys I'd like to think its safe to say that I have always been their "favorite".  I can get away writing that because Chad isn't home at the moment to stop me.....  I'm with them from sun up to sun down and know what their little minds, tummies, and imaginations need at any given moment. 

However, that has all changed in the past couple of weeks.  Chad has been out of school between semesters and the boys have gone WILD! "Daddy gets to put me to bed....Daddy has to play with me.....I want to sit by Daddy....Daddy has to guess the answer....Only Daddy gets to play....I want to go with Daddy...." Yes, this is what I hear on a daily basis!

To be honest, it is actually kind of funny.  They follow him around as his shadow and  practically sit on him when he tries to take a break on the couch.   I think its been good for both of us and we have definitely had our laughs about who is the "favorite". Which I am now convinced that Daddy will always win that position. There is just something special about a Dad and his boys! Since these past 2 weeks have probably been our last 2 weeks for summer vacation  here are some pictures:
 Happy summer!

Wow! I'm so excited to see Brades with his little guy. I'm sure he'll be his favorite too. Daddy is Alyvia's fav that's for sure. I can't believe how much that little Talmage is changing. We can't wait to see you guys.
