Happy Father's Day

Grandpa, Grumps and Daddy~

Here's wishing the three Dad's closest to our hearts a very Happy Father's Day!  Without you, we wouldn't be who we are today, so thank you.

Below is a collection of photos that I have taken from my phone.  I don't always carry my camera with me. However, a lot of times I find some of my best pictures are taken when I have to whip out my phone for a photo.

Mowing down a cheeseburger....just like Daddy!

First ever pigtails!!!

 My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."  "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.  "We're raising boys."  ~Harmon Killebrew

That one was for you Grumps!

 I kow all three of you are loving her with the football.  The girl has skills!

 Any man can be a father.  It takes someone special to be a dad.  ~Author Unknown

Happy Father's Day!  Love, Mike, Tiffany & Peyton

All Inclusive Update

Summer is just getting started and so is the summer fun.  It is hot as heck outside but that doesn't stop us from getting outside and making the most of a sunny day.  Peyton received an early birthday present from her Great Granny.....a shiny, red tricycle. 

 She was making sure Daddy had the instructions, which of course, he didn't need.  :)

And he really didn't need the instructions because he had a helper.

 She's just a little too short for it yet, so I took her for a spin.

 Next, we were off to Liam's first birthday party!  He turned ONE on Tuesday but we celebrated on Saturday at an awesome baseball party.

 His Mom, Krystal, really outdid herself.  There were hotdogs, soft pretzels, nachos and even chocolate dipped oreos made to look like baseballs (Peyton's favorite).

 It's always a good time with the Hassen's but Saturday was an extra special day and we were so thankful to share the son's first birthday with them.  Next we will be celebrating the birth of their new baby in July.  Can't wait!

Liam got a pick up truck for his birthday and as you can see his first passenger was his girlfriend Peyton.  These two are quite a pair!

Happy Birthday Buddy!  And Happy Hump Day everyone else!

Refueling

Our Sunday isn't even over yet and I feel refueled.  We have spent the weekend relaxing and spending time just the three of us.  It is a nice change from the busy pace we have been running for the past few weeks.  We kicked off the morning with Belgian waffles.  I let Peyton help make the batter and she seemed to enjoy it.  She was stirring and tasting like a mad woman!

This afternoon she spent time in the yard keeping cool with the garden hose.

These last two pictures are from yesterday.  I put her hair in her very first ponytail.  It was so cute!  She looked like a little kid running around the yard.  A baby no more...she turns TWO in 18 days!

Happy Sunday!

The end

Almost a week later and I am finally posting the remainder of the Memorial Weekend pictures.  On Monday we kept it low key and headed across the street for a BBQ with our best neighbors Brad, Bev and their family.  Peyton enjoyed some more kid time, as well as, a splashing good time in the pool.

 I like this picture of Peyton and neighbor Brad (that's what we call him).  She was having a blast being scooted around the pool in the little boat.  She was steering like she knew what she was doing.

She borrowed the goggles but I think she needs her own pair now. 

Happy Saturday!
