This past weekend we had a cookout, and Bre brought her friend Adam (who had just gotten himself a mohawk for an '80's-themed party). After our burgers and sides and Sophie's Incredible Orange Edible, Mike decided everyone would enjoy a game of Ladder Ball (also called Monkey Ball), so outside we went…
Here's Adam, looking fierce, focused, and ready to dominate:
But he'd better watch out for Soph, who has her dad as her partner…
During warmups, Bre whacked herself in the top of the head…
And while she recovered, Mike got ready for his big move…
There he goes!
Bre's up…
An excited spectator…
And an excited player…
When the game was over, the winners congratulated each other…
…Although Mike took the lion's share of the congratulatory cheers…
When Mike and his lowly teammate started to do their victory dance again, Bre decided she would rather pretend she was on their team the whole time…
…Than admit to losing.
Sabrina had to leave for work before the games began, so she and her dad went at it the next day…
And if you thought MIKE was bad when it came to winning, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Adam, if you never come back to the Stewart House, I will understand.

I love posts with your husband and kids. It is so wonderful to see a father who loves his children so much! My father didn’t much care for me so scenes like this are especially heartwarming for me.
