Father's Day


I was really proud of myself this Father's Day.  I really wanted to do something creative with the help of the girls since they are actually starting to get old enough to participate in the gift giving.  My first idea I had had for a while.  Bonus was when Paul mentioned he needed an updated picture for his work desk. I saw this on Pinterest back when I first joined and thought it was super cute.  Turns out I have just enough kids to make it work.




I found a picture frame that holds 3 5x7 photos and printed out one of each of them.



Cute, no?


Okay for whatever reason the next gift I made (with Morgan and Rylee's help) I apparently didn't get a picture of.  I will and I'll have to add it later.  I got this idea off of Pinterest also and knew Paul would love it. So do the girls.


This idea is genius and super easy to make.  I bought a plain white T-shirt and some fabric markers.  On her blog she has 4 pieces of paper you can print off that combine to make the race track/town and you can trace it right on!  

Since it is Father's Day I probably shouldn't talk about myself the whole time.  I have to say I really couldn't do this whole parenting thing without Paul. When I say that I don't just mean any husband/father/male.  I specifically mean Paul.  He does just as much if not more than me with the girls.  He plays with them, he bathes them, he feeds them, he changes their diapers, he sings to them, I really could go on and on and on.  I think the faces of those little girls above show how much we all love Daddy!

6/19/11: Happy Father's Day!




These kids are becoming harder to take pictures of at the same time. With summer here it seems we never have any weekend free anymore and this one was no exception.  We had a busy day yesterday and today was Father's Day.  We did our usual and headed up to my Grandpa's house to spend the afternoon.

Morgan and Rylee colored some pictures for Daddy while he went to the store for donuts. In an unusual twist the girls were absolutely glued to him all morning and wanted him to do everything for them. He wasn't complaining.  We spent some time with family at my grandparents and then headed to Applebees for a Father's Day dinner where the fabulous Asher (Ashley) waited on us.  All in all it was a great day.

On a side note, Paul is the absolute best, most helpful father there is.  He is completely hands on and I'd be lying if I said we were 50/50 because he definitely does more than his share.  The girls adore him and while I know he (we) both would like a boy some day he is absolutely smitten with his daddy's girls.  I couldn't ask for a better partner or father and I hope he knows how much we love and appreciate him!

Happy Father's Day Paul!  We love you!
