THE LACEYS: FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

Vacation Bible School was over on Thursday so on Friday morning Elle and I hopped in the car to drive to Hattiesburg. CeCe fell and hurt her back a couple weeks ago so we went down to check on her and spend the night. She is in a lot of pain but she was a trooper and went to Ed's with us for a burger and spent time with Elle while she rested on the couch and I ran to Target! It was a low key visit, There isn't a whole lot to do for poor CeCe. She just needs to rest.

Walker and Kenny had guy time while we were gone! Friday morning Kenny joined Walker at PDO for Donuts for Dad to celebrate Father's Day. He made Kenny a card and a neck tie to wear and the enjoyed donuts together before Kenny left so Walker could have his day at school. After school he picked Walker up and the spent the afternoon at the pool. Saturday morning Elle and I woke up and hung around with CeCe for a little bit and then I took Elle out for breakfast before we got on the road. She wanted pancakes so I took her to IHOP. She had not been before and chose the cupcake pancakes that had lots of sprinkles in them! Walker and Kenny went to the club for breakfast and then swam until the afternoon when we got home!

Doing some reading while we waited on our breakfast.

Happy with her cupcake pancakes.

Loved having some one on one time with my girl.

Saturday evening we went over to Robby and Foley's house with the kids to play, eat dinner and watch the Mississippi State ball game. I haven't really said anything in the blog but the Bulldog Baseball team has made it to the College World Series against all the odds! I am writing this on a Thursday and we have one two games and have to win one more and we go to the championship! We are so happy for the team and having lots of fun watching and cheering along! Walker has worn the shirt he has on in the picture below for both wins so now he has to wear it for every game!

Sunday morning was Father's Day and we were so excited to celebrate Kenny. I woke up and made a big breakfast and then everyone slept in which is so unusual around our house. I intentionally let Kenny sleep in but Elle slept almost to 9 which is just unheard of and Walker slept really late. So I gave Kenny his breakfast in bed with a big mimosa and cup of coffee. Walker ate with me in the kitchen while Elle slept and then he joined them for a cup of milk. Elle eventually woke up and ate herself and we let Kenny open his cards and gifts from all of us. We got him some golf shoes he had mentioned wanting, a massage and then I surprised him with a gift that I had been holding on to since April. I bid on and won a Dak Prescott signed Mississippi State helmet back during Super Bulldog Weekend and hid it away to surprise him. He knew I bid on it but thought I didn't win. So it was a big surprise and he loved it! It now sits on a shelf in his office and looks so pretty!

After breakfast and gifts we all went to church where I taught Sunday School. We didn't do a lesson this week and just worked on doing a Father's Day craft. After Sunday School Elle rang the church bell with Kenny and Audrey and Ella and Jack in honor of Father's Day and we went to service where Elle sang a song from VBS with all the other kids that were there. After church we went to the Country Club for lunch and Kenny was pumped because they had these enormous turkey legs. Kenny loves a smoked turkey leg. Me, not so much! But Kenny yes! So he had one there but he joked that he couldn't really eat it the way he wanted to which was to pick it up and eat it so I snuck him one home for his Father's Day dinner. He ate it up that night along with a good IPA. Happy Father's Day to Kenny!
