Happy Father's Day!!


Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there. I especially want to wish a Happy Father's Day to the best dad I know, Eric. He is so great with Jarem. The priest gave an amazing homily at church tonight. He talked about being grateful for all the fathers in our lives. He also talked about a father not only being there and stimulating his son through playing ball together and quality time. But also encouraging your son and teaching him about God, prayer and leading a Christian life. It made me smile so much because although Eric and I can't wait to see what sports Jarem might like to play, we also can't wait to hear him pray and talk to God. We feel so incredibly blessed everyday that we have shared with this little baby boy. He's such a reminder of God's amazing power. We truly are blessed.

Eric spent his first Father's Day doing something pretty typical for dads, golfing! He hadn't been in over four years so he leaped at the chance to get to play. He had SO MUCH FUN out there in the sun. (Plus, it was free which is definitely an added bonus.) He played at this amazing course in Encanterra. They also hosted a brunch in the clubhouse so my mom, Jarem and I joined him halfway through the course for lunch. Then he went back to finish the last couple holes of golf and wrap up his golfing excursion. The evening we went to church and then came back home for dinner. Karen, Uriel and Raf joined us for dinner and Eric BBQ'd some burgers for us all. YUMMY! Overall it was an awesome day and Eric has definitely enjoyed his first Father's Day. Right now he's talking to his dad on the phone, holding Jarem and has a huge smile on his face. I guess life doesn't get much better than this...

These are just a few random pictures from this week.
Holding his head up all on his own and sitting like a big boy. SO HANDSOME!
Guitar Hero ROCK STAR in training. He can't wait to jam with the big boys.

Catching a quick nap with daddy on the couch. I wonder if they're both dreaming about me.
FUNNIEST PICTURE! It was cute until Jarem decided to punch Grammy. Not really, but doesn't it look like he's punching her?!? Poor Grammy.
Jarem with his Godfather, Uncle Dale. Too cute...
