What a great Father's Day weekend we had! On Saturday, Adalyn and I did the 5K Ronald Run with Katie, Jeff, and Gabby on the "All for Ellie" team. I must say, it was a great day, with great friends, and for a great cause! Thanks for inviting us guys!!

After the race, Adalyn and I came home and worked on her "masterpiece" craft for Daddy for Father's Day! She was so into doing the "craft" that she got a little upset when we were done! It turned out great! She kept saying, "Daddy is going to love it!!" She was so right!!

I had planned on us getting up early Sunday morning, making Father's Day breakfast, going to church, hanging out, visiting the Dad's, etc. Well, when you have a 2 year old, things never seem to quite work the way you have planned. Adalyn is at the "I'm scared" stage and everything and anything at nap time or bedtime scares her. Saturday night was one of those nights. She was in bed with us, which she never sleeps with us, pretty much all night-yikes!! Between her and Jay hogging the bed, I had about an inch of bed to sleep on, so that means-I didn't sleep!! So needless to say, when I got up on Sunday, I had a major headache and my body was stiff!! Jay said that since it was "his" day he decided that he wanted his fav breakfast food from BK and wanted to take Adalyn fishing in the pond. I was Super glad, because I was able to stretch out on the couch and I got out of making breakfast-sorry honey!! Adalyn couldn't wait to give the masterpiece to Daddy so she ran into the living room to give Jay his masterpiece and said, "Happy Mother's Day, Daddy!!" Too Funny!! Finally she got it down pat to "Father's Day!"

After Jay and Adalyn spent the morning together we went over to visit Jay's dad and then over to my dad's for a cookout. Monday evening we took my stepdad out for dinner! Lots of great dads in this family! I love you all very much! Thanks so much Jay for being the best dad, husband, and friend! Your wonderful!

Love ya-
Angela and Adalyn

Party Foul! This is what happens when you drink too much!

Kari has officially joined the 30's Club with the rest of us-yeah!! Her wonderful husband, Steve planned a surprise 30th party for her downtown at the Claddagh on Saturday night. I really do think she was surprised! We had a great time there eating, drinking, doing shots, and chatting! After that we hit up, Have a Nice Day for a "Happy, Happy" Bowl, more drinks, shots, chatting, and of course booty shakin'!! We then decided to chill out for a bit at Nicky Blane's. After what seemed to be a 10 mile walk-really I think it was like 4 blocks, we arrived to have one of my fav's, a pomegranate martini!! The chillin' was starting to make us a little tired so off we went back to Have a Nice Day to shake it some more! We had such a great time helping Kari celebrate her 30th birthday! We are some wild people, I think 30 is the new 20!!
