I hope all the Father’s out there have a great day, but especially first time Daddy’s!
Happy First Father’s Day Sweetheart.
Thank you for being the best Daddy my girl could ask for.
Honestly I should have put my cordless mouse in her hand rather then the remotes. They just happen to be on the couch, sorry I’m lazy Honey.
We got Waldo a new shirt for Father’s day.
Memaw (my grandma) sent me a couple of pictures and I wanted to share.
This is baby me and Memaw
Baby me
This is a picture of baby Waldo. His parents sent it to us when Lily was newly born.
Lily
Not the best picture of Lily, but we never got that traditional hospital photo so its the best I could do for now.
I was waiting to post about Memorial Day because my friend was suppose to be uploading more pictures. Oh well I’ll just post those some other time. I need to get this out of my head before I forget about it.
On Sunday we had lots of help cleaning our old house. I was in charge of Lily (like usual) so I was very little help. Waldo and our friends did a great job, if it weren’t for the spiders and the smallness of the place I would have reconsidered moving.
After cleaning was all done we went to another friends house and had a little bar-b-q. Let me just say that its so nice having chefs for friends. We had amazing spicy chicken and steak sandwiches. And of course all the sides.
But really its about the pictures. So without further ado…
This is my friend *Jack (I forgot to ask if I could use real names so I’m using nicknames, I did remember to ask if it was ok to post the pictures, Yay me). I took what I think is a much better picture but he made me swear to use this one.
Jack is a chef at one of the local famous restaurants. He made mean steak sandwiches (I hear, I don’t eat steak).
This is Big Mac. He is a chef at the golf course restaurant.
He made the amazing chicken.
This is my man (Waldo). He cooks for us but for a living he is a geek.
This is B and R. B works with Jack and R is Jack’s girlfriend.
Here’s Jack’s dog Apollo
Chicken. Yum!

After the grass was mowed we needed to eat so what do we decided to do? Break out the brand spanking new bar-b-q grill. We hadn’t even taken it out of the box yet, so Waldo spent like 20 minutes putting the thing together.
Who knew the thing has so many parts?
(Sorry for the blurry photos, its hard to stand still and take a good picture when you have a wiggly infant in your arms)
All done. Its a thing of beauty, or something like that.
We used lump charcoal which I didn’t get a picture of and a charcoal chimney. Which were both my suggestion, Waldo was against them at first. I mean what’s more manly then briquettes and lighter fluid? Nothing that’s what! But I won because I had Alton Brown on my side. We even watched the grilling episode of Good Eats before we started.
Waldo was very impressed with the chimney. It heats up the charcoal in like 15-20 minutes and its ready to go. Of course I was in the house nursing Lily so I didn’t get a picture of the hot coals in the chimney.
These burgers were great, they were seasoned with salt, pepper and little garlic flakes.
Our side dish
Cut grass, yummy food and hanging out as a family. It was a great family day.
This weekend we had planned to finish moving out of the old place and cleaning it. Unfortunately Waldo had to work on Saturday so packing and moving got pushed back to Sunday. We decided to take advantage of the time we had to spare on Saturday and Waldo did some grown up manly Daddy stuff.
First he mowed the back yard. It needed it much more then the front.
We just bought the mower so he had to do a few test runs to get the right weed grass height.
nope too low
While he adjusted the mower Lily and I looked around the yard and found these cute tiny flowers.
Here are the three test runs Waldo did. I believe he went with the second height.
And here is the finished yard.
