Dedication/Father's Day

June 19, 2011 was Father’s Day and Parent/Child Dedication at church. I’ve wanted to do the parent/child dedication for a while and I’m so glad we finally got the opportunity. I just pray and hope that we can raise Jaxson to know God and to have morals and values. Today's world is tough and the temptations are awful. I worry that I won't tell him or warn him about certain things enough. And then there are always the "what ifs" What if he hangs out with the wrong crowd? What if he is a little rebel child? Our family and friends came to witness and support us and we were so glad they were there. I believe that it will take all of us as a team to raise Jaxson to be all that he can be and to help him prosper in this world. Jaxson did so good on stage and got a few little goodies. The church gave him a little blue Bible, he got 2 adorable picture frames, bubbles and a new pair of flip flops. A boy can never have too many shoes! Who said girls get to have all the fun! Speaking of shoes, Jaxson thinks he should be able to pick out his own shoes. This morning we had a battle because he picked out the navy blue Keds to wear but they didn’t match his outfit. I wanted him to wear the brown sandals. “Jaxson, you need to wear these shoes because they match. NO” I know I know…pick your battles but a) he’s almost 17 months and b) he’s a boy…just wear the shoes I pick out!  

After church we went back to our house for pizza with the family. I’m so glad we were able to spend Father’s day with our Daddy’s. I love my Daddy and have always and will always be a “Daddy’s girl.” He’s always been an excellent provider, caregiver, Daddy, Mr. Fix It, my personal mechanic…he’s got it all! I know that Emmett was glad to get to spend time with his Dad on Father’s Day as well. Emmett is such a WONDERFUL Dada to our Jaxson Cole. He’s always calm & collected and doesn’t get upset easily. Forgetful and pretty much useless when it comes to house work…yes he is definitely that but we love him anyway! Hey, you can’t have it all!
