Father's Day Weekend

The first two pictures are pre-Father's day weekend, but because they are of the boys I added them to this post.

 Dalton loves to be with his Daddy. He sure is blessed to have such a loving father. 

Dalton loves to play his Daddy's guitar! It is so neat to watch him strum along! 

Jed had one of his many expo/mini class/ week long meeting things the week before Father's Day. When Jed gets home from work he always takes his CAC card and puts it around Dalton's neck. Dalton really thought it was neat that Daddy put his temporary name tag on him. 

On special occasions Jed, Dalton and I go to my family's church. 

My very special grandpa loves it when we come, so we made sure to go for Father's Day. 

Here was last year's Father's Day picture.

On Father's Day we went to my Uncle Rick and Aunt Pam's house. They have a huge smoker and smoke pulled pork, baby back ribs, and brisket. We had lots of sides and yummy desserts. 

I saw these on Bakerella last year and then on my friend's blog too and my mom and I decided we had to make them! Oh boy, they took a long time to make! The bun is a cupcake, the hamburger is a brownie, the condiments are icing (the lettuce could have been coconut dyed green but Jed doesn't like coconut) and the french fries are sugar cookies. I wish I would have had extra red icing to make a bit of "ketchup" on the fries.

After eating, we enjoyed some time in the sprinklers. Dalton is a total water bug. He loves it! I can't believe how well he handles water in his face. 

This is the only picture of my dad from the weekend. Opps :O)

I am so grateful for a father who loves me so much. He has been an inspiration to me. He calls himself the luckiest unlucky man. I think he has it right. He has had so many heartaches and challenges in his life, but he is still here to enjoy life. I am thankful that he has been so (for the most part) willing to understand and accept who I am. I can only imagine how hard it would be to find out that you can't attend your only daughter's wedding. He is a great dad to my brother and me and also our spouses. Thanks Daddy! I love you!

Jed was heart broken that he lost his nice football on base during PT a few months ago. 

Since we are on a very modest gift budget I got him a new football. 

I had my brother pick it out and buy it for me since we only have one car. 

He was so surprised and excited to use it. 

Someone else takes after his daddy. 

  

This little guy is a football kind of guy and we love it!
