Father's Day 2014

We started Father's Day off with breakfast-pancakes to be exact! 

After breakfast Jon opened his gifts-we got him a new t-shirt (as seen in the picture on this post), a box of cards (that Cooper picked out), and tickets to see Manning & the Broncos play in Cincy for Monday Night Football-thanks to my most favorite customer ever.

Then, we packed a lunch and headed to the zoo for the day!

We called this little Meerkat "Reggie" since he's laying just like Reg.

The chimp exhibit is open!!

And what do ya know? Chimps LOVE babies!! This guy was just staring at Cooper.

Two of my three boys :)

After we went through the exhibits we changed Cooper into his swimming trunks and took him to the little splash pad. Cooper is quite a cling these days and he isn't a big water bug so we thought he would try it, then peace out. Boy were we wrong! 

He put his face in one fountain, the preceded to run around like a mad man to hit the different water fountains. Oh and he hugged a little girl who had Dora on her swimsuit. DORA!! (I can't stand Dora. Can I just say that?) Splash pad time was awesome and clearly wore him out-but just like every other child, mine couldn't leave without throwing the epic tantrum. "NO MAMA WATER!! PEAS MAMA!!" 

I fixed the tantrum with dry clothes, a snack, and some water. #motheroftheyear

Cooper slept 90% of the way home, then he and I took a 1.5 hour nap on the couch after we got back. I'm telling you-it was GLORIOUS.

After nap time, we did a bit of shopping and ordered pizza (Jon's choice of dinner-we all love pizza AND I don't have to cook? SCORE!!!). Our favorite shopping purchase was a little attachment for our hose that has different water fountains-ala Splash Pad at the zoo. Woop woop!!

Cooper, Reg, and I are so lucky to have Jon as the man of the house! He's wonderful, a great husband, and a great dad to our boys. I couldn't ask for more!
