shout out to Kade


I guess I should start by explaining why the father of my children is wearing a clown wig.  My mom wanted a family picture and she said "it doesn't have to be professional, it can even be a little silly."  Well, apparently what she said and what I thought were two totally different ideas, so this is not the picture that she went with.  But I happen to love this picture, I think that it really says who Kade is.  He is a nut!  It took no amount of begging or pleading for him to don that wig.  Part of that could be because that guy will do almost anything that ask and secondly he is just wacky like that.

So back to the real reason for this post,  I have been stressing since Mother's Day about Father's Day.  Kade went all out for my mother's day dinner and I felt a huge amount of pressure to reciprocate.  I thought maybe what I would lack in quality I would make up for in quantity.  So it started on Friday night when I set up a babysitter and took him to dinner followed by a movie.  It was the A-Team,  trust me that was all for him, I had no desire to see the A-Team (luckily it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated).  Sunday morning I made him biscuits and gravy because the guy loves biscuits and gravy!  Then for dinner it was steak, corn and salad because he loves steak and corn and because salad is a must.  Now I have to confess that he actually grilled the steak and the corn because I really never go near the grill (it scares me!!)  Then for dessert I made him a coconut cream cake because he loves coconut cream cake!  Now I know that the sum total of all that I did, still did not compare to the dinner that he made for me but  I tried and one of the things that makes Kade so amazing is that he appreciated all of it and not once did he rub his delicious dinner in my face.    Thanks Kade for being a great husband to me and a great father to our kids,  we love you.

Sweetest post ever Amy! It sounds to me like you did a lot more than Kade did for Mother's Day. Perhaps he owes you now (grin) I know for sure that Kade is wonderful in every way, but he is super lucky to have you especially knowing that you are grateful to have him and all that he does.

Kade is such a great guy! We had nearly the same thing for dinner, minus the fabulous sounding cake.
