Father's Day 2014

Ryan's first Father's Day (three years ago) was spent taking our first baby home. It was a bitter sweet day, not only was it Ryan's first Father's Day without his Dad but we were so excited to go home as a family of three. I remembering smiling to myself when I realized that would be the day Nolan would come home. It was extra special. It's funny how things work out the way they do.

This year, Nolan's birthday did not fall on Father's Day or the same weekend as it has for the past two year so we had a lazy, laid back Sunday! Ryan got to sleep in, lay on the couch, watched sports, played outside with the kids, ran a few errands and enjoyed the nice weather. He deserved every minute of it...even though he kept referring to Father's DAY as Father's Day WEEKEND:) We ended the day with a nice dinner at my parent's house!

Cheesey moment before they unveiled the gift!

 

Since it was Father's Day WEEKEND, here are a few more pics from our fun family weekend together!

 

We went to Hyvee for the first time. I think Nolan had too much fun with the shopping cart and we went home with a few more things than planned!

 

 

First trip to ice deli for the summer.

 

 

Waiting on the porch for the boys to get ready so we decided to have a little photo shoot! She cracks me up, loves taking pictures...and that smile!

 

 

We had some time to pass before a store opened on Sunday so we made a pit stop at Stake n Shake for an early lunch.

 

 

The kids LOVE milkshakes! A "special treat" they call it.

 

Thanks to Ryan for all the things that you do for our family and for the wonderful Father you are! Our kids absolutely adore you and I love seeing parts of you in both Nolan and Nora. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!
