Happy Father's Day Adam!

So grateful for their "Dada", my sweetheart, and our best friend + protector. And I enjoyed every second making him this video of memories with him from the past little while (October 2015 - June 2016)...we love you Adam!

Yesterday was a great day. I hope Adam felt special, loved, and knows just how much Brooks, Ava, and I appreciate what an incredible father he is.  He is our provider and protector...we love him to the moon! :)

the luckiest...

Our two little ones sure are lucky and beyond blessed to have Adam for their father. One of the first, of many, things I fell in love with while dating Adam was his desire to be a father. From hearing about and seeing his relationship with his parents I knew he'd be a wonderful Dad...and boy has he come through. :) Watching his relationship with Brooks and Ava grow daily is incredible.  This man of mine is meant for fatherhood. And I thank my Heavenly Father for bringing him into my life. So grateful we're in this parenthood gig together...forever. :)  

Happy Father's Day Adam!!

And Happy Fathers Day to both of our Dads! They are strong men with the softest hearts. So blessed to have them in our lives.

#1 Dad

Happy [belated] Father's Day to our main man Adam!!!

He is the man of my dreams...the dreams of having a family with a

God loving,

devoted,

involved,

intimate,

forgiving,

funny,

encouraging

father.

I couldn't ask for a better dad for Brooks and our future children :)

I woke up a bit early to make him breakfast...vanilla french toast, scrambled eggs, oatmeal topped with fresh blueberries, and pineapple-orange juice.

And of course, that sweet daddy-o shared with his little boy :)

And at church in Young Women's one of the leaders brought some sweet treats and darling tags to make creative little gifts for everyone's dads :)

I chose the SUGAR DADDY sucker...beyond being the sugar daddy of our family and working so hard to provide for us monetarily, Adam works so hard to provide for Brooks and I on an emotional level. He expresses his love in word and in deed...how blessed we are to have him in our lives :)

Dear Adam,

You're sleeping right now, so I figured I'd squeeze in writing you a letter on this sweet Father's Day :)

We got back from Lake Powell late last night...thank you (and Eli) for driving us safely home :) It was a vacation that'll go down in history for sure!!! Aside from the fantastic houseboat, cool water and hot sun, paddle boarding, eating great food, and sleeping under the stars...my favorite part was watching you interact with our beautiful little boy. (hence the photos in this post...it was hard to just pick a few!)

You are SUCH a great father to Brooks. Little B and I are both so blessed to have you in our lives! Thank you for your tenderness with him...yet I can't get enough of seeing you two wrestle or have tickle-fests, you make him laugh like no one else. I love you forever sweetheart!

Happy Father's Day!!

You foreva lova,

Haley

Father's Day + iBaby

Happy 1st Father's Day Adam!!

We started the morning w/ breakfast in bed :)

Then came the gooooooood stuff...Adam is quite the Mac/Apple fan, and he has been stoked (to put it lightly) about the new iPhone4 that's coming out tomorrow. (he's the cutest iNerd;) His, and my, favorite feature is that there is VIDEO CALLING, that they call "face time", how fantastic is that?? We talked about getting us both one...but they're pretty spendy :( So it was a no-go for a while...and whenever Adam brought it up I'd remind him about the $$$ factor...when really I was just counting down the days 'til Father's day so I could do this:

...surprise him with his own little iBaby to hold him over 'til Thursday when he could get his new iPhone!!

Both my boys were quite the happy campers!!!! :D

(And we're excited for our camping adventure tomorrow as we wait in line at the Apple Store in Salt Lake, lawn chairs & sack lunches in-tow...wish us luck!)

We then got dressed and headed out to church

...but 1st, a little self-timer family portrait :)

Then we came home and enjoyed a sweet Sunday afternoon together...followed by a much needed nap, for all 3 of us ;)

* He stands so tall with those strong legs! *

Adam is meant to be a father...

He's absolutely adorable with Brooks...watching them together takes my breath away. I'm so grateful for a husband who is an amazing help-meet to me as a mother, and who truly holds his role as a father close to his heart.

We love you sweetheart/Daddy!!

Haley & Brooks
