Burgess Family: Daddy’s Days Off…

Come Wednesday evening, Owen, Autumn and I are all really looking forward to the next two days. Why you ask? Because Thursday and Friday are Daddy’s Days Off, yay! Unfortunately we had a weekend of errands and grocery shopping planed but we did manage to sneak in some good ole family fun! Since the kiddos have been sick all week we tried not to plan too much in case they still weren’t feeling well. I'm happy to say that after a few days of antibiotics for Autumn’s ear infection she is feeling much like her old self. As for Owen I think he is just like Mommy and has the worst of the worst spring time allergies, but he is also much much better. As of now they both just have a light cough, which I am saying is because of how dry the air is. I think it has been well over 100 days since we have seen the slightest drop of rain. Anyway, back to the fun stuff….pictures. Warning, there are lots of pictures in this post, you are welcome grandparents!

We are planning a family vacation for the 4th of July to go up to Denver to visit some family/friends and to celebrate Autumn’s 1st Birthday a little early with Brandon’s side of the family. While we are there my Father-In-Law, Brandon and I are going to take the kids to a Rockies Baseball game and they will have 4th of July Fireworks. We are so excited! Brandon has been talking to Owen a lot about the game so he will be excited when the day comes. Owen constantly walks around the house singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, it is so adorable.

Here is Brandon and Owen watching a game while Mommy was busy and sister was napping. Brandon was teaching Owen all the info about baseball he will need to know for the big day! I love them they are so handsome!

After they watched a bit of the game Owen decided he wanted to go play baseball in the play room with Daddy…

His swing is actually getting really good. Time to move all T ball playing to the backyard only! And Please don’t worry, Autumn also got some one on one daddy time this weekend.

My kids adore their Da-Da, which happens to be Autumn’s word of choice lately. She babbles Da-Da all day long.

Well, Friday was a gorgeous day in ABQ with a high of 78 and minimal wind! We decided after Autumn took her late afternoon nap that we would go pick up some delicious KFC and head to the park for a dinner picnic. We took the kids to a park we had never been to and we had the entire park to ourselves. It was so much fun and both kids had an absolute blast! There is nothing I would rather do then spend every evening like this; nice weather, my beautiful family and a bucket of chicken. Can it get better?

All set up for some picnic fun!

I mashed up Autumn’s favorite since we all got to eat some delicious chicken. Avocado and Bananas are Autumn’s very favorite. The girl ate every last bite! O yeah, and some mashed potatoes Daddy gave her. What can I say, the girl loves to eat!
