The Lawson Family...: Jarrod's First Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of the daddy's out there. I hope you all had a wonderful day! Jarrod really seemed to enjoy his. It started out with him sleeping in while I took care of Bo and got him down for his morning nap. While he was napping I made breakfast for Jarrod and I. I made a great breakfast casserole and monkey bread. It was delicious, if I do say so myself! Once breakfast was ready and Bo had woken up, I had Jarrod go in the next room while I brought out his gifts and some balloons I had gotten. I bought him some new shirts for work from Banana Republic, they actually had XXL in the store, which is very rare so I had to snatch them up! Bo gave him a "Hello Smokey" book for them to read at night. It's a book that follows Smokey, the Univ of TN mascot, through campus and to a football game! Then the best gift was a poem that I had found about a child following his daddy's footprints. I printed it out and put Bo's footprints on the bottom. It turned out SO cute! It really touched him and I think it was his favorite gift. He also received many cards from family, even some of them were filled with little surprises too!

After Bo's nap we loaded up and headed to the neighborhood pool. I am sick I forgot my camera but I'll try to give you a description...We bought Bo a float for him to sit in that has a shade on top. He's not sitting up on his own yet so while he was in it we had to hold his hands to keep him sitting up. However...he quickly learned that he could lean back and relax! After about 15 mintues of playing with mom and dad, I looked up and noticed his eyes were getting heavier and heavier and heavier. Next thing we know he's out! He totally had the look of "this is the life" all over his adorable little face! He slept in his float for almost an hour!!!!!! It was perfect mom was able to get some sun, while Bo stayed in the shade floating and snoozing!

Then it was home for a bath, Bo & Daddy watched a little US Open, then the whole family took a nap! Jarrod's day ended with lasagna for dinner (his favorite meal) and one of my favorite desserts that includes ice cream sandwiches, cool whip, and m&ms! Needless to say we'll be on serious diets after this weekend! But you only have your first Father's Day once! I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for and more importantly the most amazing father! He works so hard and give us 110% in everything he does. I am so blessed and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for blessing me with such an amazing husband! Happy Father's Day honey, we love you!
