First, we kicked off our weekend with a date night out just the two of us. Some sweet friends from church, Alan and Melody, offered to keep her for us so we could go out. We were thrilled! We ended up at Fish City Grill in Firewheel Mall. Brian loves their fish tacos and I stumbled upon an amazing Cobb Salad (tomatoes, eggs, avocado, bacon bits, ranch, yummy!). We stuffed ourselves too full to enjoy any yogurt which is what I was really craving=( Oh well.....I guess there is always next time.
While we were out, they sent us a picture of Natalie....
I think she was in good hands.
Saturday was spent hanging out at the house (I ran some errands without child in tow), and selling Brian's Jeep. Finally! Now we have some money to start fixing up our backyard. More on that later! That evening Chik-fil-A was hosting a 'Daddy/Daughter Date Night.' Brian and 2 other friends signed up with all their daughters for 5:30. Since the Chik-fil-A in our town was all booked they had to drive a bit further but it was no big deal. The funny thing was that the invitation told them to meet at the Wal-Mart parking lot where a LIMO would pick them up and drive them a half-mile to Chik-fil-A. How funny is that?! I have never even been in a limo, and now Natalie has=)
They felt a little rushed at dinner because Brian was trying to feed NJ, eat his own dinner and deal with a child that really should have had another nap before going, if you know what I mean (we were dealing with Jeep drama and didn't get her down). He said overall it was fun, and he was glad they went, but it definitely wasn't relaxing. They ordered their own food, but did receive a free slice of cheesecake, a goody bag with some coupons, and a framed copy of their picture with the Chik-fil-A cow! I was really impressed. Brian said NJ was the youngest one there followed closely by her friend, Bailey.

Daddy and Natalie's 1st Date on Father's Day weekend. Aren't they pretty?!
Aaron and Lyla
Well, this was also Father's Day weekend so today we celebrated Brian's 1st! Natalie and I worked diligently on a project at about 8 pm last night that I could have completed the previous two weeks with no problem. However, I never do anything early. It just isn't like me! So I told Brian to stay away, we were working on a project.
It's kind of hard to read in this picture. Father's Day is at the top, her footprints in the middle, and her initials with the year at the bottom. We surprised him by putting it in the landscaping this morning. Brian loves to landscape and has spent many, many, many hours perfecting his work so this was the perfect idea! Thank you Dad and Hobby Lobby for helping me come up with the idea at the last minute.
We love this daddy!
