Happy Father's Day

Sunday we actually got Jason out of the basement for a little bit to take him out for breakfast for Father's Day.

Here's Maddy at breakfast counting the jelly

We even went to church together before Jason went back to work. Funny story from church...we were in the second pew from the front with no one sitting in front of us and Maddy decided she didn't want to behave this week. She just wanted to be loud and obnoxious. Anyway, at one point she was playing with her sunscreen and wanted to put some of the lotion on her butt. Jason said no and tried taking the lotion away from her, so she started yelling, "Butt hurts" and grabbing her cheeks. I was so embarrassed so I took her out of church for awhile to get her mind off of it. We will never sit in the front ever again.

After naps, we went over to hang out over at the Schmidts. We had a wonderful barbeque dinner, played some yard games, and then the guys watched golf. It was a nice relaxing father's day. Jason got to have some time to himself, yet he still had time to hang with his girls.

Here's a cute picture of Hayden from the barbeque

Father's day is always hard for me now that I live so far away from my dad. Most of the people who know me know how much I love and respect my dad. He was always the #1 man in my life and some may argue that he still is. So it's really tough for me not to be with him on father's day to show him how much I love and appreciate him. A phone call just doesn't seem to be enough. I know some day Maddy will feel the same way about Jason. He is a great father and I see a lot of my dad's same good fatherly qualities in him, so if Maddy is anything like me she will truly adore him.
