Father's Day Fun - 171/365

Father's Day today!

Jim was going to head over to Squaw Creek to golf with his Dad, Uncle Frank and Sean today! They got out to the course and got started. Suddenly it was a monsoon. They could barely see where they were going and the golf course was starting to flood. After a few holes trying to deal with that, they decided to just head back to the clubhouse. They were having a band on the patio, so they just hung out, had a few beers, snacks and listened to music. They ended up having a good time!

While they were off doing that, Nana, Papa, Reagan, and I headed down to a picnic on the farm. Nana and Papa got stuffed chicken breasts, sides and salads from Stonebridge to bring down. It was YUMMY! We had a nice visit. Reagan always likes to go exploring their property, so we had fun.

This evening, we all met back at the house and then headed out to see Inside Out. It was suck a great movie. We all just loved it. I did cry a little bit, too! Disney/Pixar did it again! ♥

The guys at the course.

Reagan, Papa and Great Grandad!

Movie night!

 

 

Father's Day - 167/365

Today was Father's Day! 

Reagan slept a bit late today, since she never napped yesterday! When she finally got up, I had her carry her presents to daddy. 

 She was a great little shopper. She got him an overnight adventure to see the Cleveland Gladiators, last home game in July. She painted him a picture, too. 

She also got him a little paper weight that you can put a picture in and record a message. Then, when you push the button down, it plays it back! She did GREAT recording and said, "Love you, dada!" right on cue! We added a picture and it was done! He loved it!

Last year, I did a three picture, long frame where Reagan was holding a letter in each photo. When you put it all together, it spelled "DAD". Jim loved it and has had it hanging in his office ever since. This year, we figured we'd update the pictures for him! It came out so great! 

 After present time, daddy got ready to head out and play golf with his dad! It wasn't the perfect day for golf. It rained a little off and on, but they said they didn't get too wet.They played golf at Candywood and had lunch at Avalon. 

While they were doing that, I ran a few errands with Reagan and nana. We got back and went out to play on the play set for a few minutes. Nana braved the tube slide. She skinned her knee but loved it...LOL!

When the boys were done golfing, Greg stopped over to get his little present from Reagan. She painted him a picture and gave him a framed picture of her and papa. He loved his presents!

Greg hadn't seen the play set yet, so he tried that out! He even took a ride on the blue slide, Reagan loved it! 

After he headed back home, we tried to get Reagan to take a nap. It did not go well! She was in her "no nap/no quiet time" mode. She RAN around the crib singing songs. I went up a couple times to tell her, "it's NAP time". I would leave and she would cry for 10 minutes and the cycle would start over! Ay, yi, yi. 

When "nap" time was over, Jim took Reagan and Brinkley around the block while I finished up some stuff. 

When they got back, we got dressed and headed to the Phoenix for the second time this weekend! YUMMY! We had a really nice time! 

All in all, Jimmy said he had a perfect Father's Day! 

That makes me so happy because he is such an awesome daddy to Reagan and Brinkley! We are all so lucky to have him in our lives. We really are blessed! 

As Reagan said all day, "Happy Father's Day, DADA!" Thank you for all you do! WE LOVE YOU! The photo of the day is Jim with his kids...

The next is Jim with his dad and Reagan with her Daddy and Papa....

Finally, here is Jim's new "DAD" pictures...

 

Father's Day Picnic - 166/365

It's father's day weekend! 

We were going to kick if off with a father's day picnic at my mom and dad's this afternoon. 

This morning though, we decided to go back out to White House Fruit Farms and do a little more strawberry picking. Jim wanted to see Reagan in action and the strawberries are absolutely to die for. We can't get enough! 

We got out to the farm right around 9:00 and it was packed, again! They must have had some pretty good crowds, because we were all the way on the other side of the fields this time. The berries were HUGE on that side! It was almost like three strawberries grew together into one super berry! It was amazing! We had fun and filled up our basket rather quickly, so we were on our way. 

We headed home and played on the play set a little bit. Jim and I finally got up enough courage to try the tube slide. We found that if you curl up in a ball, you go down super fast. It shoots you right out on the ground. It's so fun! LOL! We're having just as much fun as Reagan! 

We finally had to go in, get ready and head over to Nana and Papa's for the party. Papa grilled up some tasty chicken and steak. And my mom got some yummy sides from Cafe Capri. For dessert, Jenny made an awesome chocolate cake with Irish Cream syrup to drizzle on top! Whoa boy! 

It was a really great afternoon with everyone. Reagan had a great time playing with Dexter and Brinkley. She even got to hit the coaster. Her favorite part seemed to be helping her daddy, papa, and great grandad open their presents. She pulled tiny little squares off and threw them away before continuing on. It was too funny! 

We finished up with some bubble blowing before we went home. 

 When we got home this evening, Jim took Reagan down to the pond to feed the fish, while I walked around and watered and pruned a few flowers. 

We of course, got some more playtime on the play set, too! 

Super great day with family! 

The photo of the day is Reagan with her daddy, papa and great grandad...and me with my dad and grandpa.

 The next is Jim and Reagan picking strawberries....

And finally, this was just to cute not to remember...Reagan giving Dexter some cuddles...
