Father’s Day

Devin enjoyed his very first Father’s Day this year. Devin is such a cute dad. He loves Sam so much. He does a great job taking care of him. He lets me have breakIMG_3637s when I need them. When Selena came into town, Devin took care of Sam from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. so I could spend the entire day with her. 

 

To celebrate Father’s Day, we went over to my parents’ house, which was pretty uneventful because my dad was recovering from appendicitis.  Here is my mom with her two grandsons.

It is so great that my and Devin’s parents now live a mile apart. It makes for easy travel on holidays. After my parents’ house, we partied it up at the Barrys. There was food, laughter, fun, and blood. (Oaklee had a little accident upstairs).

IMG_3645 After dinner we went around and told happy memories of John. Me, Brooklynn, and Anya didn’t remember any of the memories (probably because we weren’t around), but we laughed just the same. Then we complimented John, which he just loved! Then we told things about each father. Here’s what each of us said:

Brenda remembered one time when she was overwhelmed with a church project. No one showed up to help her decorate for an event. She called John in tears, who then arranged for a troupe of men to come and help out with the decorating.

Scottee loves that Brian plays with the kids in the mornings so she can sleep in.

Mindy loves Ryan’s testimony. He also lets her sleep in. (Devin are you reading this????

I love how Devin always wants me to have the best in everything (especially soap:)

Anya loves Adam’s testimony.

Alli was taking a nap at the time, but Scottee said that Alli loves that Greg plays with Bastian.

Treslee had a story about how one time she thought Rich was going to be mad about something, but he didn’t even care. Rich is slow to anger.

The End.
