Rick's First Father's Day & a Birthday

We had a really good weekend and I think Rick really enjoyed his first fathers day. We went to church Sunday morning and assumed our now regular seat in the back of the church so we can quickly exit when we have issues. This Sunday, Vivian was REALLY LOUD during one hymn - drowning out the whole joint and was able to be heard at the front. It was pretty cute (particularly when Preacher Kevin blamed baby Ethan for all the noise - poor boy). She also demolished Rick's carnation that he wore for being a father. After church we had a cookout for Rick and for my dad. Rick worked hard to pack in as much Vivian time as he could and we had a blast.

Here they are after church. Vivian now has more hair than Rick.
As my father reminded us this weekend - it is not every day you realize you are an amateur barber - this is special (I did most of the work - hey, its what Rick wanted).

Here they are pool side in Vivian's new wading pool. It is pretty cute and she seems to enjoy it almost as much as her father.

After the pool, it was off to Grandma & Pop's farm for a little 4-Wheeler riding - the fact that she does not hold on concerns me a bit, of course they were going very slow.

It was also a birthday weekend at our house - I am older now and we had some cake. It was really fun. Mom, Dad, Ashby, Rick, and Vivian helped me celebrate a little bit early. Vivian was so taken with the whole cake and candles thing. After I blew out the candles she swiped some icing off of the cake and ate it. She should be ready for October.

All and all it was a good time and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I think Rick enjoyed all his cool gifts (even though he got impatient waiting for me to finish the picture book at Walmart). Hope you had a happy father's day, Rick.
