Happy Birthday DAN!!!

Dan had a birthday, shout hooray!

Dan turned 28 on Friday. Dan and I celebrated by going to a wedding, Jack spending the evening with Grandma and Grandpa. However, we had lots of time to celebrate on Saturday because Dan had the day off! He went fishing in the morning, played with us in the afternoon, and went to a friends house for a delicious cookout/outside play and movie at night. We're pretty lucky to have such a great dad/husband!

5 things we love about Dan:
1. He is very funny! Always making us laugh and smile.
2. He loves to play- video games, computer games, and board games. He even likes chasing games with Jack around the house, which is very fun to watch.
3. He works hard. Even when Jack and I have a day off, Dan is out working.
4. He likes to grill out for us- Jacks favorite? Hot dogs or bratwurst, maybe even steak.
5. He is very thoughtful- on Saturday he brought something home for me (on his birthday fishing trip-oh yeah, with no fish) AND last night while I was in the grocery store he quickly/secretly went over to the gas station and filled my car with gas. He likes to surprise me once in a while.

Of course we love lots of other things too!
Like, that he went with us to pick up this little kid picnic table from the GHETTO last week. Jack loves it! It still sits in our kitchen for him to play, read, eat, whatever.
This is Jack playing at our friend's house. He loved the water toys, but didn't quite get the water guns. He was just so excited!!!



This is one of our "bad ideas" as parents. Now, whenever we go to the car Jack wants to go in the front door and sit in our seat. It is actually really irritating when we are in a hurry. Will he ever forget how much fun pretending is???


Notice when I ask him to say "mama" he says "dada" every time. But then when I ask him to say "dada", he will sometimes say "papa." :)
