Father's Day

Paul's first official Father's Day!!  

Well it was Father's Weekend, actually, because my family started it off on Saturday with some fishing at The Cove at Herriman Springs.  It was a great day for it and the area was beautiful.  

We started off with a little BBQ - dogs, pasta, lots and lots of veggies.  We were going to play some V-Ball and Spike Ball but we got carried away with the fishing...as evidenced below.

My dad with Asher:

Bronsynn hoping to lucky with the ducky: 

My mom - so willing to laugh at herself and never takes herself too seriously.  I love her!: 

Me and my baby boy - love him: 

The three of us getting ready for our fishing adventure: 

Grandma and Asher: 

I didn't get any fishing in between having fun shooting everyone and then trying to get my stubborn baby to sleep (he doesn't fall asleep easily unless at home and I didn't feel like subjecting all those innocent fishers to my baby's crying that surely wouldn't have stopped in such a scenario).  But I still had a great time even if I didn't catch one of those fugly catfish.   Yuck!!

Bronsynn has a few modeling bones in her.  She just sat on a rock and did her thing and I just shot away.  So fun!!

I have tonz more but this one was one of my favoritest because we had just heard another fisher cuss from across the pond:

The fish and the ducks were really fun to 'catch' ...ha ha ha:

These boys asked me to take their pictures after I took a really sick shot of a fish one of them caught.  I had so much fun and the boy in the red was super serious and was a great little 'subject'.  I have more on facebook, too.

I seriously have an amazing father.  My whole life he has worked hard, sacrificing so much for his family, always doing whatever it took to provide for us especially during the hard times during lay-offs.  I admire everything about him and have so many cherished memories, many of them from my 4-H and rodeo days where he spent all weekend towing me around to race.  He's an amazing man who does everything for his wife and kids!  Love him!":

And now I have another Father to celebrate on this day... my wonderful husband.  It has been such an amazing journey these past 8.5 years and most especially the last 10 months where we have watched our son and reveled in being his parents.  He is such a fun dad - Asher lights up when he comes home from work and loves to chase after him.  Watching Paul be a father is special to me and I love my boys more than I have words to express!

Father's Day morning, I made Paul a Spinach Quiche and laid out Asher's little project.  Paul has been working non-stop since the beginning of April (and that's not counting tax season since the beginning of January) and he has run himself into the ground.  He is such a hard-working man, too and I am so lucky to have him and I know our boy will come to know the same thing.  So we gave him a gift certificate for some R&R at Massage Envy.  

After church, Paul's family came over and we spent the night having another BBQ, watching Asher play in his pool, catching the NBA Finals, relaxing on the patio and enjoying rootbeer floats!  Such a wonderful day - I'm so glad to have been surrounded by family all weekend!
