Happy Father's Day!

For Father's Day, my day was spent with the two of the greatest fathers that I know, my dad and David! After we picked up Nico, we had the intent on going to a nice breakfast, but Nico adamantly wanted to go to McDonalds. David really didn't mind and said sure, what the heck.

Nico and I went all out this year and got David a new Xbox video game console! He joked that I have outdone myself and am cleared from any responsibilities or gift giving for the next few Father's Days too! (The irony here is that, on occasion, I have complained about his Xbox playing and now am enabling him further. What?!) I also made the picture art on the right, with a movie quote from The Hangover that we often jokingly say about ourselves. It reads, "And we're the 3 best friends that anyone could have."

We hung around the house for the remainder of the day until it was time to meet up with my parents for dinner at Texas Land & Cattle. This was about the best picture we could get out of the 10+ other attempts.

I am so appreciative of everything that my dad has done for me and continues to do! He's simply the best, and I am glad that I am finally at a point in my life where I can understand and really embrace that. Thanks for the patience, the constant interest in my schooling and activities, long days at the softball field, fun vacations and activities, and being my #1 fan.

I'm not sure how David continues to stay sane with being a stay at home dad to a strong willed toddler. Nico has had just about the most fulfilling and fun childhood so far that I can imagine a kid having, and a big part of that is because of the opportunities and quality time that David gives him! He is so easygoing, patient, and always puts Nico first with new experiences and keeping him active. The house is clean, meals are on the table, and we have a happy home. Thanks for being an awesome dad (and husband too.)

And a Happy Father's Day, in particular to two other favs: Dave and my grandpa!
