Father's Day!

We had a great Father's Day weekend! On Saturday we spent most of the day working outside and building our fire pit for Brian's Fathers day gift.

We had hot dogs and marshmallows in our fire pit Saturday night and didn't think hard enough about giving Wesley a roasting stick and a few minutes later he flipped it out of the fire pit and burned Nora's lip. She freaked out and had a pretty bad blister for a while, but we're glad it wasn't her eye! :)

Funny boys and girls!

Of course we had to bring Brian breakfast in bed, and Wesley thought he needed to join him!

After church Brian took a little rest with Scooter.

For dinner I made ribs for the first time and they were pretty delicious.

For dessert, fruit pizza. Yum!

Brian often reads to the kids on Sunday evening.

We went on a nice nature walk a few miles from our house and it was beautiful! We'll definitely be going back there soon. We saw 4 turtles and lots of flowers and bugs.

Nora brought Teddy along in the stroller but Wesley wanted to push him so Nora was nice enough to let him do it most of the way.

Sophie brings along her nature sketch book and take notes and does sketches of the plants, bugs and animals she sees.

My pretty girls.

It was a fun Fathers Day and so wonderful to celebrate the amazing dad that Brian is. He is pretty much the perfect father to these four and I'm so grateful they have a dad who is so involved in their lives. He is patient and funny and everything a good dad should be.
