The Nuffer Nest

Every year Jim's birthday falls right around Father's Day and I feel bad that he gets all his "special" days at once. I try really hard to have 2 separate celebrations, so this weekend was all about Daddy! Saturday we had a birthday party for Daddy.  We had yummy bbq and a delicious cheesecake since he isn't fond of cake.  Then we opened presents.  Here are all of Daddy's birthday and Father's Day presents!  He made out like a bandet this year because not only did he get all of these gifts, he's also making his own smoker with a friend this weekend.  Lucky Daddy! The boys had to help Daddy open all of his gifts.  There were just too many for Daddy to open all by himself. I took Jackson to the Dollar Store and let him pick out some gifts for Daddy.  For Daddy's birthday Jackson picked out peppermint candies to give Daddy and some playdough for Austin to give Daddy.

Here's Big Poppa waiting for his turn to get a haircut. His hair was getting really long!

May's ideal:  I would not seek to force  people  to live up to my ideals but rather love them inot doing the thing that is right. This is another personal month for me, but there is are a few people who are not living the ideals they (and I) know to be true.  However, I love them very much and they are still outstanding people and I love them regardless.  That's all I will say about this month because it is personal.  June's ideal is: I would live with the masses and help to solve their problems that their earth life may be happy.
