Father's Day

We had such a nice day celebrating all the Dad's in our world.  We went to Mass Saturday night so we were able to be lazy Sunday morning.  I got up and made a big breakfast and we enjoyed eating together.  Then we watched some Mickey Mouse.

Can you tell he was happy to be with his daddy?

Love these two so much.  I am so thankful that Barrett has Patrick as his Daddy.  Patrick works so hard to provide for our family so that I can work part time and enjoy this time with our baby.  He takes such good care of both of us.  We are so blessed.

For lunch we went to my parents.  It was just us there for a while.  Then my big brother came with his kids.  We played UNO.  It was so much fun.  As sad as it is that the kids are growing so fast, it's really fun too.  I love that they are old enough to play games.  UNO is a favorite.  Barrett was in rare form after all the little debbie cakes he ate. 

He will finally sit in this chair.  It's so funny watching him sit on anything.  He will turn around and walk backwards and just kinda fall into the chair.  We laughed and laughed at him.

When went straight to Patrick's parents for dinner.  It was delicious as usual.  Of course I didn't take any pictures.

Father's Day

We had a nice day to celebrate the dads in our lives.

First up was Patrick.  I took zero pictures of the morning opening presents and breakfast.  Patrick doesn't ask for many things but he'd asked for a cross necklace that matches the cross charm he got for me to mark Barrett's baptism.  So Barrett and I got it for him.  I think he was excited.  We also got him the stickygram Instagram magnets, for his locker at work.  He was excited.  I think his favorite gift was the fact that Barrett rolled over from back to belly for the first time.  He did it once at home and then several times at my parents house.

Barrett and I went to church and then to my parents for lunch.  It was just us and John and Hope for lunch.  We watched the race until Barrett started getting fussy.  Dad actually let Barrett watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  When we were little he never let us watch kid shows, ever.

(I told y'all I was obsessed with bubble suits)

Doesn't Ally look thrilled to be included.

I'm not sure what happened but I think it involved me ruining the pictures.

I love this picture of Patrick, his Daddy and Barrett.  They look so happy!

We had a fun day.  Barrett did really great.  I love that he's really a "schedule" baby, he likes to be on a schedule but he can be flexible.  It usually makes for a terrible Monday.  I call it "Monday morning detox"  after he's been held for every nap all weekend long.  So we've had an interesting day.  He went down right at 7:00 I'm hoping he sleeps all night.  

Happy Father's Day

Happy 1st Father's Day to the best husband and sweetest daddy around.

Watching you with Barrett has been one of the biggest joys for me.

These are two of my favorite pictures. 



We love you!  Thank you for being such a great daddy.

Father's Day 2011

This child melts my heart.  He loves Ally so much.  As you can tell by the look on her face, she tolerates him. 

We had a great Father's day celebrating the Dad's in our family.  I've always been a Daddy's girl.  I love spending time with him no matter the day. 

Porter and Harper helped me find the perfect spot for a photo session with their Daddy and Grandaddy.  Aren't they cute!

Daddy with his grandbabies.  We were missing Drew.  The kids weren't real excited about having their picture made.

Dad with his babies.  There really aren't any words to describe this photo.

My brother an his babies.  They were definitely over the photos by now.

I found this birds nest with an egg in it just sitting in a rocking chair on the porch.

We ended the afternoon with a friendly game of UNO.  I love that I can still sit with my brothers and sister and still play card games.  The kids are old enough to play too which makes it that much more fun.

After we left my parents we headed to see Patrick's Dad and mom.  We had a nice time there too. 

Father's Day

Sunday was spent like most others with my family!  We went to church and then had lunch.  John surprised us and came home Saturday afternoon but could stay long Sunday cause he had to go to work.  It was nice to see him for a little bit!  My big brother Patrick had to work so I didn't get to see him.  His family came by later!  My Patrick and I went to his parents for dinner!  I just love spending time with them.  It was such a nice day with family.  I love nothing more on a Sunday afternoon than to go to church then come home and just visit and enjoy family!  I didn't get many pictures from the day (probably because I wasn't there with the kiddos!) Here are the few I did get!

Daddy and Ally after lunch!

Me, Daddy, and John.  We decided we would get a photo of the three of us with Dad so my sister decided to go dry her hair. 

Sister apparently wasn't ready.

Finally the three of us looking at the camera.  Please excuse the fact that I look gross in all of these.

John and Daddy.

Happy Father's Day!

I love my daddy!  I've always been a daddy's girl and if you ask any of my brothers and sister who my daddy's favorite is they'll tell you it's me hands down, although he'd never admit it!  He always has big expectations for each of us and wants the best for us.  He has worked so hard over the years so we could be involved in anything we wanted.  We always manage to laugh so much when we're together.  That's not to say we don't fight sometimes because we do.  Mostly, we just enjoy every minute we're together!  I can count on Dad to tell me the truth about anything...an outfit, hairstyle, shoes, big purchases.  He'll tell you exactly what he thinks!  But that's one of the things I love about him.  He and I are the most alike (which is probably why I am his favorite!)  We both love people, football, parties, convertibles and a good margarita! 

I love this shot of my dad and his grand kids at Porter's birthday.  I love watching them together!

I love this one of my and my daddy before my wedding.  I have another one two of us right before he walked me down the aisle that is priceless.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!  I love you!  Thanks for being an awesome Daddy!

Ally has a pretty awesome daddy too!  She is a huge daddy's girl. 

Thank you Patrick for being a great dad to Ally! 

I know you will make a great daddy to an actual child one day!

Right now I think will just stick with this sweet baby!
