Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day is so different than Mother's Day. Where on Mother's Day it seems like the whole point of the day is to let the moms be without their children and relax. If I had my way I would get to sit in a quiet place and rock my babies all day long on Mother's Day but that would require some sort of medicating on their part so I never have, but on this day it seems like the only thing my kids want to do is be right next to wherever my hubby is going and with this little girl growing between my ribs I just don't have the desire (or ability) to stop them. Luckily I have the greatest husband who is a wonderful Father to these two so he doesn't mind being around them. Sometimes I think he down right enjoys it. (Wink, Wink)

This Father's Day Chris got to take Carter to all of his church classes because when he brought him into me in Relief Society Carter was literally clinging to his shirt screaming "NOOOO!" as I tried to pry him from his dad. He must have known they were serving they guys cake and cookies at the end of the hour....he's a smart boy with an appetite like his dad.

Then Chris got to prepare his own dinner. I helped but felt super guilty he was out their grilling and of course no one wanted to be inside with "just mom" so they had to be there-hands on-as you can see for the whole thing. I think he liked that too though he likes to show off his grilling skills.

He did get to do the one thing he really wanted on Father's Day and that was take a nap. He needed it and deserved it after this day. With all this talking I am just trying to say "Happy Father's Day" to a wonderful dad. One of the greatest things I got by marrying him was that he became a great father. Looking back I continually realize how lucky I am to have him and didn't realize on that "big day" what I was getting into and how I lucked out by getting a good guy who's #1 goal is to care for his family. He has always proven that to me from day one by always putting us first even when I tell him he needs to do something for himself he always thinks about us first. Happy Father's Day Honey. I love you!
