Happy Father's Day

This weekend was filled with lots of barbeques and lots of hugs and kisses to our dear sweet dads. We stayed home from camping, 2 trips to Davenport was in the agenda so we decided to stay home, plus we had some family things going on so we stayed home. It was the perfect weekend, the weather was awesome and we had some wonderful food.

Saturday afternoon, we went to Tom's aunt's house to celebrate Father's Day on Tom's side of the family. We brought our own meat, we brought brats, and a dish to pass. Tom made a new recipe, he watched Trisha Yearwood on the food network Saturday morning and said "that's what I'm making tonight". And that he did, he made 2 batches, one for Saturday night and one for Sunday night, it worked out good and they were delicious. I'm not a baked bean fan but these were good. Everyone seemed to like them as well. After dinner, we just hung around the patio, played with bubbles and enjoyed each others company. We had a fire as well, until it decided to rain for about 10 minutes, just enough to get everything wet and the fire to really smoke, so we packed up and headed home.

These are the only 2 pictures I got of the night, oops! Cooper enjoying his Teddy Grahams, eating of course.

Sunday, we had to make a quick trip to Davenport for an ultrasound, more to come on that later, but it was such a nice day, we decided to cool off at the pool. Grandma Linda watched Cooper while we were in Davenport, and when we got home, he had just eaten lunch and was about ready for a nap until I said "you want to go swimming?" He perked right up so we got ready, ran to Target quick, stopped and grabbed a couple of subs then hit the pool. By that time Cooper was sleeping in the car, so we snuggled for a while. He didn't take a very long nap, he was too excited to go swimming. He LOVED it! Again, this is the only picture I got and he looks scared to death, but really he enjoyed it. I had to load on the sunblock a couple of times, my boy has such pale skin. We can't wait to enjoy the Hendrick's pool in few short months!

After swimming, we got cleaned up and headed to Andy's house for hamburgers! This is where I got to enjoy Father's Day with dad! This Father's Day was extra special, we gave lots of extra hugs and kisses. Cooper made Grandpa a shirt with his hand prints, he made one for Grandpa Tom too, he did so good, like he's an ole pro. LOL

Dad and I getting our picture taken, kind of blurry, but oh well...

Cooper playing with Grandpa's cane, he loves this thing!

Eating snacks

Gavin pushing Cooper in his truck. These guys had so much fun!

And after supper, the boys were such a mess we gave them a bath together. Don't they look like twins? Gavin is about 3 months younger than Cooper, but they get along so good.

And saying goodbye to Grandpa, like I said, lots of hugs and kisses.

This Father's Day was very special because it may just be my last Father's Day with my dad, so I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could. We spent a few hours up there yesterday too. He is doing SO good, he looks good and has good energy. I heard he was going to play cards tomorrow at the Moose, so when that happens, it's a good day! Picking out a Father's Day card this year was so hard, I was crying just reading them, then when he opened it and was reading it out loud, I was crying again, as was he and mom! He just means so much to me, thinking about all the things that he's done for me and he's ALWAYS there, no matter what. I am trying to cherish every day I have left with him because I know one day, he's not going to be here. So I take a lot of pictures and I'm trying to get more and more video's. He is just so special to me, as is my mother! I love them both more than they ever know!
