Father's Day Weekend!

Happy Father's Day Brad! I thought that I would share a little bit about why I love Brad. He is a wonderful father. Ryder absolutely loves him. Sometimes in the morning when Brad leaves, Ryder will get his jacket, walk over by the door and hold his arms up like he wants to go too. Brad takes such good care of us. He makes sure that we have everything we need. Brad lets me be unreasonable. It seems like when we talk about things like shopping, money, plans, etc., I am almost always pretty unreasonable. I know I should stop, but it is a hard habit to break. Brad is always pretty nice about stuff. He usually just smiles this smile that seems to say, okay but you are crazy. Brad is always making plans for the future, calculating and mapping things out. Sometimes I get annoyed, but I know he is working hard for us. Brad will strike up a conversation with just about anyone. It doesn't matter where he is or what he is doing. He is just really friendly. These are my two boys! I love them more than anything. Happy Father's Day!
Our weekend was kind of crazy. We went down to Las Vegas to watch Kylee play softball. She is really good! (I didn't get any of this ability, in case you were wondering.) She hit a homerun while we were there. It was really fun to see her play. We only got to see one whole game because it was blazing hot! It felt kind of like a blowdryer in your face. I had a hard time sitting in it, I don't know how Kylee played softball in it. This is Ryder and Kylee. Ryder loves his Aunt Kylee. He gets excited when he sees her. It is so cute to see him play with her. Kylee always gets the most hugs from Ryder.

This is Ryder driving one of those bucking cars at the mall in Las Vegas. He really likes steering wheels. Brad and I actually spent quite a bit of time shopping. Brad was a pretty good sport. I think he thought it would add on some casino time.
We can't leave our wonderful fathers out on Father's Day! This is Ryder with Grandpa Hales. He always comes to visit us and Ryder always puts a smile on Grandpa's face. Ryder loves him. Clifford is always saying that he can't wait to pick Ryder up in the truck to get a treat at Fast Gas and help him run errands. Clifford does stuff for us all of the time too. We appreciate him so much! I really don't know where we would be without him. Brad learns so much from him. Brad is working at Hales & Warner so he gets to spend a lot of time with his Dad.
This is Ryder with Grandpa Bufton. My Mom taught him to say "grandpa" today. He still doesn't say mama, but grandpa he can say. My Dad was a huge help to us this year when I was in school. We had a lot of days when we didn't have babysitter and my Dad tended Ryder quite a bit. Ryder loves him. He gives him whatever he wants all the time. I think that Ryder knows he just has to point at something when he is with Grandpa, and it is his.
Ryder at IHOP in Las Vegas! He is pretty happy sitting between Grandma and Grandpa. He likes to be the center of attention. You can't see, but Kylee and her friends were sitting across from them. I swear he was flirting with them. He gets that from his Dad.
