For Father's day we wanted Taber to be the king of the weekend, so we did the things "King Taber" loves best. Mainly BBQ, Grilling, playing with his kiddos, running and food.
We kicked it off with a trip to the the Rockin' Rib Fest on Friday night where we sampled the finest BBQ'd ribs in all of New Hampshire. If you know my husband and his obsession for BBQ sauce you would understand that Rib Fest to Taber is like Disneyland for kids. He was truly in his happiest place on earth : )
I didn't mind the ribs either, Taber has really started to wear off on me : )
Cam's 2 little chompers aren't quite ready for ribs but I'm sure he'll be drenching his meat in BBQ sauce like his Dad as soon as he's able.
The girls loved the Ribfest and wore themselves out on all the bounce houses.
Then we indulged in some homemade birthday cake ice cream with buttercream frosting swirls. Best ice cream ever.
Happy Daddy and his 3 little Rigglets.
We couldn't go home without a bag of kettle corn the size of a child. Definitely another successful year at the Rockin' Rib Fest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday started with a 10 mile long run for the Tabster and a 6 miler for me.
Then he spent the morning swimming with the kiddos and jumping on the tramp.
The kids thought it was quite the treat to play outside with Daddy
Cam was out there too (Don't want him to look back at these books when he's older and wonder where he was during all the fun ; )
Unfortunately mommy was not out there enjoying the fun. I guess I caught Teya's raging fever from last week and it kept me sidelined for the rest of the weekend.
I had big plans to pamper king Taber on Father's day but he was the one pampering me in my sickened pathetic state.
And that is why he has totally earned cool Dad (and husband) status.
I did drag myself out of bed to make him German pancakes but then I crawled back in while he took the kids to church and I took a 3 hour nap.
After my nap I was feeling much better and I helped him get some good man food together to grill up for dinner.
Steak tips, corn on the cob, red potatoes and asparagus all fired up on the grill.
Despite my inconvenient illness it was a great weekend and I feel very lucky and grateful that my kids have such an awesome Daddy and for my wonderful Father and Father-in-law too!

Haha, yeah my eye...I was trying to be all dramatic and look sick, I guess it worked ; )
Oh my goodness...I am drooling over all of the food in that post. What are you trying to do to me, Becca??! I agree with Naomi...little Cam has the biggest, cutest smile EVER! Looks like Taber had a pretty great weekend, even though you were sick. I am glad you are feeling better!
I agree with the other commenters - when did little Cam man start doing the hugest smiles ever?! He is so adorable! I think I need to hold him. Whyyyyy do we not live next to each other? Especially because we would come play in your pool and let you guys grill us delicious food. You are so awesome to do all that fun stuff for Father's Day weekend - whenever I see all the stuff you do for Taber it makes me want to be a better wife.
P.S. I am also sorry you were sick, but I really loved your dramatic sick picture.
Oh yeah...that looks like good times. Man red meat is good. Happy Father's Day Taber...u r a great example of a loving father.
Mmmmmm...BBQ.
