FATHER'S DAY BLOOM STYLE!

So blessed to have this man not only as my husband and best friend but also as such an amazing father to our 3 kids :) We had a great father's day - Started of the day at church with such a wonderful message by Andy and Sandra Stanley - I love them both and they truly are amazing role models. Then nothing like a good bucket of KFC chicken and coleslaw on a hot summers day. Marcus planted his cucumber plants - since he will be making homemade pickles - well at least he is hoping to :) The afternoon was followed by watching some golf - sad that our Philly did not win, yes that is what we call Phil Mickelson at our home, but still loved watching it. Then Julia tended to daddy while Megan and I made an italian dinner with a homemade fruit triffle filled with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. We laughed at lot making this dessert since it was Megan and I's first time make homemade angel food cake - we now know how much it makes and how much it overflows! It truly was a great day and so glad we got to honor and bless our daddy a little.

BUCKLEY LOVE

I am so in love with our dog Buckley - he is honestly priceless! He has such a funny personality and always makes us laugh. I do love the way he patrols our house constantly from the mean, bad squirls. One day I hope he gets one and then laughs at them!!! He has been such a caretaker to Megan when she is not feeling good - almost reminds me of Nana from peter pan! In the not to far future, I hope that we can get him a little sister to play with, and yes I already have her name picked out - HONEYBELL BlOOM :)
