Belated Father's Day post

This is a little late getting posted, but wanted to share a little bit of Mike's first Father's Day. Last year on Fathers Day was when we revealed to our families that we were expecting little Ryan. So, we had a mini-celebration with just Mike and me last year. However, this year was technically Mike's first Father's Day. Ryan and I (okay, really just me this year) made breakfast in bed for Mike of French toast, bacon, and grapes. We also let Mike order the new iPhone for his Father's Day gift. But we wanted to get something for him to be able to open that morning, so Ryan and I picked out a new pair of sunglasses to replace the ones Mike lost at the Ranger's game and a new pair of swim trunks since he's had only one pair for the last couple of years. I think Mike was pleased with his gifts and we're still waiting for that iPhone (should be here soon). He seemed to enjoy relaxing in bed and Ryan even slept in a little bit that Sunday so he didn't get Mike up too early. After breakfast we got ready for church and then came home for lunch. I offered to take Mike out for lunch, but he said eating at home was fine. In the evening we went with my family to Concerts in the Garden in Fort Worth to see the "Big Bands" show. I love going out to the gardens every summer and having a picnic and enjoying a show. Also, it wasn't nearly as hot as I imagined it would be since there was a really nice breeze going on, but Ryan didn't do so well at it. I think it was a mixture of the heat, being tired (since it started around 7:30 which is typically the start of his bedtime routine), and the loud music. Ryan seems to love music in general, but we were sitting pretty close to the speakers and even moved back to try to get away from the loud noise. Overall, at a little after 9pm we called it quits and loaded up for home. It was sad to not be able to stay for the fireworks, but Mike and I actually got to see them after we picked up our car at my Aunt's house and headed home. I think the Concert in the Gardens will be more fun next year once Ryan is a little bit older and hopefully can sleep through some of the noise if he gets tired. Oh well, it was a busy day and we were glad to spend some time with just the three of us and some time with the rest of the family. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from the Gardens (I don't think anyone took any), but I do have some from Father's Day morning. Enjoy!
Happy Father's Day- Daddy!

My two sweet boys!

What a nice Father's Day. The breakfast you made looks yummy! Caden doesn't do well if we're out too late at night either. He really likes his sleep and sleeping in his bed. You may even be able to find a babysitter next year that way he can go to bed early (his normal time) and you can stay out later if you want. Ryan is such a cutie!
