5 year old soccer can get rough sometimes! He's had so many comments about his eye, some that were nice and others that should not have ever been said. A few people have told him how tough he looks. He looked in the mirror today and reminded me that he is pretty tough.
Dillan cannot get over the fact that Daddy gets to have Father's Day and his birthday only a couple weeks apart! He reminded me that MY birthday wasn't close to Mother's Day and HIS birthday is so far away from Christmas! We're working on learning about GIVing gifts not GETting.
So Daddy took us to eat Rosa's for dinner last night, even though it's all the way across town and then some. He then took us for milkshakes afterward. Leah cracked us up at the restaurant. She couldn't keep her eyes off the 9 or so pinatas hanging from the ceiling over the salsa bar and kept pointing them out to us. I'm not sure if it was because she thought they were full of candy or because whenever the air from the vents hit one of them, they would move slightly.
This morning it would have been nice for Daddy to get breakfast in bed, but with 8:30 church, it just doesn't happen. But we had a few fun things for him.
Dillan had made a cute card at school nearly a week ago. He was so excited to give it to him, and had left it in the car all week. Every time he found it he would remind me that it was for Daddy and I would remind him not to lose it. Amazingly enough, he made it and remembered to get it out of the car last night.
We took Daddy's suit to the cleaners (since he'd been talking about doing it for months) as a little surprise for him. And musn't forget the tie the kids helped me put together:
It was a big hit at church. He told everyone that he gets one every year. Usually there's some theme to it. This one was christened the "silly" tie.
It was the least we could do for the best, most silliest Daddy in the world!
He works so hard to take care of our family. Even with work, being Ward Mission Leader, and school (only ONE class left!!!), he always has time to play and do fun things with us! He is Leah's prince charming, Dillan's sidekick, and treats Mommy like his queen.
We love you Daddy!
And Happy Father's Day to the best Dad/Grandpa in the world!
So many things I love about my Dad. Here are a few:
- He's funny. He doesn't take himself too seriously and laughs at himself.
- He's smart. He was always willing to help me with my homework, college applications, last minute school projects. Chris thinks he is the smartest person out there. Although I didn't always think so, I'm starting to agree more with Chris.
- He works hard. No matter what it is he's doing.
- He's fun to be around.
- He took us camping. He likes to take my kids camping. And kite flying
- He loves to be with his family. Even though we're not perfect.
- He plays with his grandkids.
- He's a good coach. And mentor.
- He's a leader.
- He loves my Mom. She is his queen!
- He loves the Gospel and follows the Savior.
- He's the perfect example.
Happy Father's Day!
to all the other Fathers in our lives: Papa Rod, Papa Bob, Grandpa Blackman, GGPa,
Great Grandpa Sam

Love the Father's Day tie you made. Super cute! Makes me want to get more crafty. :)
I cannot believe your poor little guys eye. He does look like a tough kid though.
Great tie this year! Aaron received many compliments on his tie this year as well.
