Whew! Saturday was a BUSY day! We had a birthday party, 2 graduation parties, and my dad's retirement dinner...and we had so much fun celebrating with friends and family.
 |
| Our day started by giving Brynn a bath...gotta look cute for her boyfriend's birthday party! |
 |
| Erin's little boy Frankie turned 1! The party was so cute and the decorations were adorable...he even had a matching bib and hat embroidered with his name. |
 |
| Brynn wore the cutest little Ralph Lauren party dress (thanks Aunt Erika and Ebby Lee!) |
 |
| Aunt Kelly and Uncle Jared were at the party...Kelly had a LOT of fun snuggling with little Brynn! |
In the afternoon we went to 2 graduation parties. Ryan teaches the senior boys class in our church's youth department, so this has been a busy couple of weeks with all of them having graduation parties. Then that night Pamaw watched Brynn so Ryan and I could go to my dad's retirement dinner. He worked 32 years delivering packages for UPS and I am so proud of him and excited for him in this new phase of life.

| HAPPY RETIREMENT DAD! |
 |
| This cake had the best icing ever! It tasted like the can of chocolate frosting you buy at the store...not like normal chocolate icing. |
 |
| My parents at the retirement dinner. |
 |
| Some of dad's friends from work...They don't have anything fancy...just get together at a restaurant, eat together, and tell funny/special stories about the person who is retiring. I liked hearing people talk about how my dad always had a good attitude and a smile on his face, even when the job was tough and the weather was bad (delivering packages in the pouring rain or ice or 100 degrees would NOT be fun)! Something I am so glad to have learned from my dad is to make the best of any situation, try to have a good attitude, and work hard. I LOVE YOU DAD! |

| My dad LOVES football and works as the "Chain Gang" crew chief for the SEMO Redhawks football team (that is the group that measures the yards and keeps up with the down markers). We got him an autographed Redhawks Football helmet. SEMO had their best year this past season and their coach (who signed the helmet) was the National Coach of the Year for SEMO's division. He was SO EXCITED about it! |
