Father's Day 2016

We started the day celebrating Brian with donuts!

Jackson and Lincoln are so lucky to have such a loving, supporting, involved, hands on, fun dad!

He is the best partner to have in life and raising our boys! His love is endless and he spoils each one of us!

We love him and are so thankful for all he does!

Brian even let Jackson and me have a date to see James and the Giant Peach on Father's Day. We grilled steak for dinner, and then headed out to the ponds to fish. We at least had to do his favorite thing on  Father's Day!!

It was so beautiful out there, and we even saw a rainbow! So peaceful!

We caught mostly little ones in the beginning.

Excitement for a bigger fish!

And we ended the night with Jackson catching a huge large mouth bass!!

What a special evening!

God is amazing!
