Some of my favorite pics from the past few weeks. Aubrey has so much sass, it’s incredible. (at Kettering, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrXisZLOFF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Saugatuck was pretty good to us, all things considered. Beach days, ice cream, boat rides, and family… (at Saugatuck, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrXDwqrXff/?utm_medium=tumblr

I told her I used to have my lip pierced like that during my emo phase. 😂 #emosnotdead https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHz5_ZL6qS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pretty epic weekend. Celebrated Lindsey’s birthday with drinks at @tendermercydyt and dinner at @suenodyt and I can’t rave enough about those two spots. Gladly hosted an awesome neighborhood party complete with cornhole tournament, flip cup, shots of fireball and the UFC fight. Capped the weekend off with a quick trip to the Dayton air show. If you look close at the pic you can see the F-18 Super Hornet break the sound barrier. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRNYm4JLdn8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Kids loved the fireworks. I got a good ruck event in with friends. Barely got hit with any fireworks. 🤙🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAX-93CHP3/?utm_medium=tumblr

This one deserved a post of its own… Aubrey made this at preschool on her last day since Father’s Day was after school ended. I’m so lucky I get to be your dad, kid. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQY-5kvLzfd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Father’s Day. I’m very grateful to be surrounded by great examples of great fathers. It gives me an ideal to strive for. Being a father has been the most epic journey I’ve ever been on. Thank you, Aubrey & Porter, for letting me be your dad. Lindsey asked me the other day what the most memorable moment of being a father was… and without a doubt it was the moment I saw Aubrey’s sweet screaming face. Full of life, innocence, potential, hopes, dreams… it all flashed in my mind in an instant. “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles was playing in my head when I saw her, I couldn’t even get the words “it’s a girl” out of my mouth. I was wrecked. That moment is the moment I became a father, sorry Porter… the song that I heard when you were born was “Gangsta’s Paradise.” I’ve been incredibly lucky in life. And blessed with these amazing kids. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXUjt8LJQ6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Trying to convince Porter I can throw a rock clear across the pond. He wasn’t buying it. (at Lincoln Park Pond, Kettering, OH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQO5jAQLKQc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Took Porter to find a dead fish, terrorize some ducks, and I almost had to fight a goose. The kid is fearless. (at Lincoln Park Pond, Kettering, OH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQO16NoLJge/?utm_medium=tumblr

Two back to back GORUCK events. Carrying weight and covering a wild amount of distance with my favorite ruck club people. Minimal sleep. Then Murph. But this, this was the highlight of my weekend... he handled it like a champ. And Aubrey was rooting him on. Even if she was exhausted from swimming.

Had the pleasure of knocking out Murph today with the 5:30 crew. Got a picture of most of them. It was a good way to start an amazing day. (at CrossFit SkyFall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPj0uDCrNLf/?utm_medium=tumblr
