Happy Fathers Day

Jason came home Friday evening from a long week in Canada. Maddy and I did surprisingly well while he was gone. She was happy to see her dad though. We walked down town Friday night for dinner and stopped to play on the slides on the way home. It was a lot of fun. We then went over to the Schmidts house for a campfire and Maddy stayed up to enjoy it. I don't know if she was so excited her dad was home or what but we didn't finally get her down until 11. Saturday morning the guys went golfing as part of their father's day gifts. Their tee time was at 7 am so it was an early morning for them and unfortunately for me as well since Maddy decided to wake up at 6 am. After golfing we all met for an early father's day lunch. The kids all wore their new Salty Dog tees from the Abbotts so we had to get some pictures.

Maddy, Ben, and Kendal

This was actually the first time all nine of us have been out together since Ben was born. The kids where all great. Maddy was a mess...she had spaghetti sauce all over her face and in her hair.


Kendal, on the other hand, was clean and as cute as can be as usual. She is just so much more delicate and girly compare to Maddy. Maddy is definitely going to be a tom boy.


Saturday night we figured it was time to start brushing Maddy's teeth. She has 10 teeth now and is eating all sorts of things so the time has come. I tried using the finger brush, but let me just say I will never do that again. She bit my finger so many times that it still hurts. We are going to have to get her a tooth brush instead.


Yesterday was father's day so we of course went out to eat again to celebrate. Jason wore his new t-shirt that Maddy made him. It says, "Best Dad Hands Down" with her hand prints on it. (Super cute)


After lunch we went grocery shopping for Maddy's big party coming up this weekend. On the way home she was so exhausted she fell asleep in the car drinking her juice.


Once awake from her nap, Maddy felt rejuvenated and ready to help me vacuum and steam clean the carpet.


Well the big anticipated weekend has almost arrived...Maddy's First Birthday Party. We are really looking forward to the celebration with lots of family and friends. It should be a lot of fun and we have a lot planned. Stay tuned ...
