Father's Day Weekend by the Pool!

We spent our entire weekend outside in the water!  

We made plans with Chad's side of the family to celebrate Father's Day together on Saturday afternoon, swimming and enjoying a little Mexican fiesta together in celebration of Michael, Chad, and Lonnie (who was actually at home sleeping, he works the 3rd shift for the police department)!  Rae Lynn didn't end up swimming, but was sweet enough to capture some fun pictures from our day, thank you!

The biggest highlight from Saturday had to be Lola learning how to swim with her floaties! She definitely has her mama's blood in her and likes her water warm and I think that it was finally nice enough for her to get in there and do it!  She was so proud and kept calling herself a mermaid, it was adorable!

 Her excitement for herself ended up rubbing off on everyone!

My mother-in-law in two rare photos (she hates her picture taken, but Rae got two of my favorite pictures ever of her)!

The yummy food!  The seven layer bean dip is always a family favorite!  I can never remember how to make it, so I added the recipe that we use with the picture so I won't forget for next time!

Cousins:  Michelle, Gage, Mason, Saige

Sisterly love!

The squirters were popular with the Durham girls and I found out just how good of aim my niece Michelle had!

Cheesin' it up with the kids!

Daddy gave back rides to both kiddos!

JUMP!!!

Chad and I played a quick game of catch!

 Getting thrown across the pool is always exciting!

A great day as a family by the pool!

This morning when everyone was awake, we took Chad to breakfast at Cracker Barrel, where he opened up his singing Father's Day card that held a picture of a Phoenix Suns Basketball hoop for the pool!  We went and picked it up after breakfast, installed it, and enjoyed yet another afternoon in the water!  Only this time, everyone was shootin' hoops!

 A great weekend together for sure!
Happy Father's Day Chad, we love you BIG!

I wasn't with my dad for Father's Day, but I made sure to leave him a funny card on the counter before I left on Friday!  I love you dad and hope you had a good day today and didn't work too hard!

This post made me realize (sadly, for the 1st time) that I didn't capture a SINGLE picture from our Father's Day!? I think I've been UN motivated to blog while you were gone....but now that you're back, I need to step it up! haaa

Great pics- good to see YOU in some of them, since you're usually behind the camera. : )
That was a perfect gift for him- Happy Father's Day, Tad!
