One of the Happiest Places On Earth

My apologies if you get tired of all the Jeep pictures I post...  Truth is that our Jeep is one of my happiest places on Earth.  It reminds me of when Richard and I were dating.  We fell in love on country back roads, just cruising around with the top down, sipping on Starbucks, and belting out some of our favorite songs. 

I remember being pregnant with Mason and imagining family Jeep rides, just as my family did when we were kids.

I remember this winter, driving to chemo, when Richard and I decided to trade the Tahoe in for yet another Jeep because we realized life was just too short to not make memories.  Yes, the Tahoe was extremely comfortable, but Jeeps are where memories made.  It took all of one day for Richard to make the switch (as you can see, I really had to twist his arm!! HA!).

And yesterday, as we celebrated Father's Day, I loved feeling the wind in my hair, the sun on my head, our kiddo laughing in the back and seeing my handsome husband lead our family down gravel roads, taking in the moment.  We still fall in love on our Jeep rides.  In love with each other.  In love with our family.  And in love with the life we have been given.


Speaking of Father's Day, I asked Mason a few questions about his Daddy on Father's Day. 

Q: What makes Dad happy?
A: Water

Q: What does Dad do when you aren't around?
A: He works and goes poop.

Q: What is Dad really good at?
A: Tying my shoes.

Q: What does Dad do for a job?
A: He works.

Q: How do you know your dad loves you?
A: Because he gets me fish.

Q: How old is Daddy?
A: 100

Spring 2015

Nannie giving Mason loves.
Mase's first trip to the dentist.  He did great!  And no cavities!
Easter 2015
It's time to play ball!
Julie and Mason visited the Halsey's in Florida.  We had a great time! 
I asked Mason if he wanted to sign up for golf lessons.  We ended up at the park to hit some balls around.  I'll take that as a yes.  Blessed that he has a daddy who worked all day and didn't think twice about packing up some clubs and driving across town to hit some balls.  
Mother's Day 2015
Mase and his buddy Liam
We've spent lots of time at the park with friends
Yay for family Jeep rides.  My favorite thing in the world! 
Mase loves family Jeep rides too 
Richard and Mase had guy time during one of my treatments.  They ended up with a $75 Build-A-Bear.
Mase & Mommy date.  Cruising around with the top down.  We had a kids golf clinic, played at the park, hit up the pool, then the son-cone shack, Miner Mikes, hit up another park, got a donut and then met Daddy for dinner.
