Celebrating Father's

Our father's day celebration with gifts for Brian actually happened on Thursday. We have to do things a little different around here, if you haven't figured that out yet!! Of course, the girls are gone this weekend, but they didn't want to miss out on showing their love and appreciation to Brian so we had ourselves a little party Thursday night while we were all together! We went out for mexican food with my mom and dad and Chad and Trina and came back to our house and opened gifts. Today, Jake had a baseball game in the morning and he and Brian were back by noon and the rest of my family came over for lunch to honor our dad! We had a nice time together....as always! Love my husband for being such a great dad, love my dad for being a great dad, and I love my father-in-law for being a great dad to both Brian and I....just wish he wasn't so far a way so we could spend some time with him!! Hope everyone had a great day!



Daisy reading her card with her daddy....

Jake giving his dad a couple new golfing shirts...

The girls made their own cards for Brian....


Kelsey insisted on getting Brian a pair of Crocs....she succeeded and got a pair for herself, oh yea....and the rest of the family!!

Chad and Trina got dad a shrimp cage for when we go boating...YEA!!!

I made my dad a collage and wrote him a poem....I worked pretty hard on it so I was pretty excited to give it to him....

I made him read it out loud...

This was the poem I wrote.....

A Dad to four of us you will be
For two of us, you had to set free
A Pa Pa to four
That’s a guarantee
Will there be more?
We will have to wait and see

You have opened your heart to the ones we love
Looking to the Lord above
You have taken our burdens through the years
Drying our eyes as we shed our tears
Always lifting our heads up high
While praying for wings to fly

You have had to plead silence
Even when it’s been tough
But your wisdom and guidance
Has brought us through the rough
You always know the right thing to say
We know we can count on you day after day

A Dad like you is hard to find
Your humor is one of a kind
So on this day and those to come
Please know we have so much fun
Someone special you will always be
And we really want you to see
That our love for you we have vowed
And hope that we will always make you proud

Happy Father’s Day!
