We didn't celebrate big this year, but Jacen's Sunday School teachers are fantastic, and he got to give some stuff to Daddy from Sunday School.

 

 Jacen and I went to Story Time at the Library the week before Father's Day.  After story time, they decorated picture frames and colors pictures for Daddy :)

6-8-13 Jacen Bowling for the First Time

Thank you Braylen for inviting him to Main Event for your birthday!!!!  He had a blast :)

The boys preferred watching the balls and trying to push them back down :)

T-Ball Practices

Some of our friends in our Sunday School class started a T-Ball team that plays in the summer in the LCAA league.  Monday (6-3-13) was the first practice.  Jacen wasn't too sure and had to be convinced by Kristin to go back out on the field.  He was tired, hungry, and hot in addition to having his 4 year old shots that morning.  Oops!!  Thank you Kristin!
