When I got married, I honestly didn't really think about what kind of dad Jordan would be. I was just so in love with him, and I knew he was perfect for me. But thinking about him as a father seemed SO far down the road (it wasn't), and it didn't really even cross my mind. Haha!
Luckily for me (and our kids), he is the most amazing dad in the world. He's the favorite parent, hands down.
Jordan has never been afraid to change a diaper, wash dishes, do laundry, or get down on the floor and play with kids after a long day of work. He has literally coached a soccer game while holding a baby, and he has made dinner on the grill while playing baseball in the front yard. He is the absolute best.

Here are some photos from our Father's Day celebrations this year!
We had a big, yummy french toast breakfast (Jordan's favorite!), went to church, wrangled four children, and then headed home to relax and let the kiddos run wild. Because little guys just do not like sitting still at church! Haha.
Then we ended the day with s'mores and a giant Reeses Peanut butter poke cake...which holy cow. SO GOOD!
It was such a fun day to celebrate our number one guy.

We loved hanging at home after church. We grilled some hot dogs, made s'mores, and just enjoyed time together as a family outside!
The perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, in my book.

Time to eat!! We set up on the porch and ate picnic style, and it was perfect.
Nothing says Summer like eating grilled hot dogs outside!

| ^Sweetest Brights, eating a well balanced meal of pretzels, hot dogs, and raisins. Haha^ |

S'mores time!!
I'm pretty sure the kids ate fourteen marshmallows a piece.
But hey, you're only a kid once, right?

Then we topped off our s'mores with some CAKE! Because Father's Day!
It was my first time making it, and it was sooooo yummy!
Happy Father's Day, Jordan!
We love you more than you know.
