Father's week

I know it would have made sense for me to post about Father's day last week but we needed an entire week to really celebrate.

We began the celebration on Sunday (father's day) by making Gary breakfast in bed. It consisted of homemade mac-n-cheese and toast with homemade strawberry jam. Gary is not very conventional when it comes to breakfast. He's more of a leftover sloppy joe kind of guy than a pop tart. So he was thrilled with this meal. As you can see, Boston ate as much as Gary did.

We gave him a new white shirt and a new temple bag. He was able to use both on Friday.

We went to church and then Gary had to go to work. Not much of a Father's day so we decided to drag it out.

On Wednesday, he was able to go on a daddy daughter date with Kennedy and Scottlynn. What a lucky guy to have TWO dates! They played lots of games. The girls favorite was having him lay on his back with a cone in his mouth while they tried to fill it with chocolate pudding. They blobbed it all over his face and one blob went straight in his nose. He's been smelling chocolate ever since.

On Friday we went to the park and ate pizza. The kids had fun climbing trees and being lifted in and out by their big daddy!

We finished off the week by going swimming! Granny (grandma Halley) came along and took a couple of pictures. As you can see, Boston had a blast! The other kids had fun too but they were mostly on the bigger slides.

Gary is a great father. He loves to play with the kids. Even before he had kids he would rather watch a cartoon than any other show. I guess he is such a great dad because he is still a kid at heart. I have been tremendously blessed to have such a great father for my children and he is a fabulous husband too.

Happy Father's Day!
