Dad’s Day

Father’s Day has always been a little hard for me….but now that my husband is a dad, it has really brought new meaning to the day. I’m so thankful for this man that I get to do life with.  
My husband spent his Father’s Day weekend demonstrating the kind of amazing man he is….he mowed our lawn and my mom’s, worked in the yard, drove our family (all day) to Indiana for a graduation party where he spent the entire time chasing Hudson around, snuggled both of us on the couch, kissed boo boos, wiped a certain someone’s snotty nose, played catch, watched Cars and Toy Story 3, read stories, and did countless other things for his family. 

We celebrated him by going out to eat at one of our favorite places….Five Guys! This was Hudson’s first time there…and it was a hit!

Hudson was pretty in love with his grilled cheese and wasn’t too excited about sharing with daddy.
 His “cheeeese” face.
Real men run through sprinklers.
Happy Father’s Day!

    I am SO jealous of your 5guysin! They use peanut oil there so I basically can't even set foot in one… But I've heard they're good. Like really really good.

    So happy Jon had such a good Father's Day weekend!

    Hudson's cheese face is the cutest thing ever. Love that you guys had a great weekend celebrating your sweet hubby. We are very lucky girls to have found husbands who are such good men, and such great daddies to our boys!
