father's day 1Hey Daddy!

Since it’s Father’s Day, I thought it would be a good idea to swipe Mom’s blog and give her readers some REAL material – like my thoughts on your awesomeness.

father's day 11You are awesome because you wake up early on Saturdays to make the greatest Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes for me (even though I know you’d rather be sleeping).

I love how you drive me to school every morning and we count how many school buses, police cars, trains, and motorcycles we see.

I’ve decided to emulate your passion for all things chocolate.

father's day 3You are the only reason I would ever spend an entire morning pulling weeds.

I just love our trips to the Guitar Center.  You are so patient to stand beside me and listen while I give the world’s longest most incredible drum solo.

If it weren’t for you, I would probably lose all of my teeth because you’re the only one in this house who remembers to have me brush them.

father's day 2This year you took me on my first, real train ride.  Greatest. Day. Ever.

You don’t mind that I leave my toys and snacks all over the backseat of your car.

Words cannot even begin to describe the way I feel when you let me play on your iPad.

scubaIt’s the best when you take out your scuba vests and gear and we pretend to scuba dive right there in our living room.

I love it when you read the Bible while we eat dinner.

Thank you for letting me help you grill things.

father's day 9There isn’t another person on this planet who could have cared for me better – or cleaned up my puke without also puking – when I got the stomach flu during our Disney trip this year.

I love that you always have replacement nightlight bulbs on-hand.

I’m so glad you introduced me to Dubstep.

father's day 6father's day 5Thanks, Dad, for always keeping me in line.

It’s my favorite when we have marathon-TV-watching afternoons of Curious George.

I love it that we are the ‘Zerbert Guys’ and that we have a secret handshake.

Thank you for letting me permanently borrow your slippers.

father's day 4

I always look for your car in the driveway when we get home from somewhere because you are my favorite person on the planet.

My little brother feels the same way.

Mom says I need to share and let him have a chance to tell you some great things, too.

father's day 7Daddy!

You know just how to wipe diaper ointment on my bum.

If it weren’t for you, my diaper pail would never get changed and I would probably suffocate in stink.

Thanks for letting me chow on your iPhone.father's day 8

You always know how to get me laughing.  I especially love the bit where you sneak around corners and pop out at me.

It’s the best when you make me bounce on the bed.

When you’re off at work, I crawl around the house visiting your guitar and piano and shoes by the front door (yum!) because I miss you so much.father's day 10

I know sometimes it seems like I’m not listening and that you have to tell me 800,000 times not to throw my food on the floor, but it’s getting into my core.

You are definitely the best at snuggling on the couch.

I love your name so much that I call everyone and everything I see ‘Dadda.’

Thanks for always praying for me and being such a steady rock for Mommy.  I think she’d be a mushy banana without you helping her out through all my crazy health drama.

Come to think of it, we’d ALL be mushy bananas without you.

And you know how I feel about bananas, so we’re sticking with you for forever.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!

Lots of Love,

Your Boys

*Note – I feel like a better name for this post would have been The Evolution of the Happy Hubby’s Hair* 🙂

  • I don’t typically overflow with parenting advice other than HUMILITY and REMAIN ON YOUR KNEES. But one thing I have found to be particularly helpful when raising our boys and working with preschoolers is what I like to call “The Circle Back.” ✨ Kids often express their anxiety, frustration or anger in big feelings or “tantrums.” There is no point in lecturing, preaching sermons, or reasoning with them when they are in this emotional place. ✨ The best we can do FIRST is help them calm down somehow. Be silly, if appropriate, redirect, listen to their favorite song, take a

  • Oh it’s just me, trying to be an influencer with a house behind me in need of a good pressure wash and some weed pulling. Also me trying to use my limited photo editing skills to blur out our house number - can you tell? I will joyfully live in the land of imperfection, though, because it points us all to the only One who truly is perfect and accomplished what the little garden flag behind me celebrates! Also also >> give me all the jumpsuits. This one is called The Welling Button Jumpsuit from @roolee. It’s like wearing jams

  • Favorite Moments from ✨Easter 2021✨ >> Easter basket scavenger hunt success at 6:00 am. Church was the fullest it’s been in over a year. Singing “He is Worthy” and the lights in the worship center brightening as the song reached the best part. Zion walking around with his new stuffed bunny, “Ribbit”, from Grammie. Sitting outside with family while the kids looked for eggs filled with chocolates and coins. Changing out of my Easter dress into a sweatshirt and leggings. Not sure if the kids only ate Easter candy for meals today. Getting a family photo! No one is picking

  • I forget the tooth fairy almost every time. I cut out the lunch box notes but forget to put them in the pails. I leave laundry in the washing machine until it needs to be washed again. I could have made the chicken and broccoli sheet pan recipe for dinner but ended up ordering pizza. Praise God that He fills in the gaps of all my good intentions. I don’t do everything perfectly but I can invite Him into everything. Instead of wallowing in my shortcomings, He says to acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He will make

  • Quite possibly the best thing about ✨Disney✨ was experiencing it through Zion’s eyes! Whenever he would get excited about something he could not wait to share his joy with others. A monorail would drive by and he would light up and say “choo choo!” Then he would run to each member of the family repeating “choo choo!” until we responded with the same excitement. Looking ahead to Easter and this made me think how the believer’s “choo choo” is the resurrection of Christ! Like Mary was instructed in the garden to “Go!” and tell others about what she saw, we

  • Jethro was playfully chasing Zion around the house, but somewhere along the way it started to scare Zion. As a result, Zion would run into the kitchen to find me saying, “I need up!” over and over so that I could lift him into my arms for safety and comfort. ✨ The whole scene played in my mind for the rest of the day as I thought of all the things that chase after me throughout the day to make me fearful, anxious, or despairing. Like Zion running to me, I can run to Jesus and say my own version
