Father's Day

This year for Father's Day Jason got a bunch of new pictures for his desk at work. The last time we were there I noticed that he had such old pictures that two of our children weren't in because they hadn't been born at the time those pictures were taken. I found a couple of cute ideas and decided to do that this year. Nate has been so into superheroes lately that I chose that for the theme. He loves to dress up as Hercules, Spiderman, Mr. Incredible, Puss n' Boots, and of course his basketball superhero-Michael Jordan. I made this cute little saying to go in a double frame with an adorable picture to go next to it.
Wish I knew how to turn that picture around!
The other picture I did as an 8x10. I found this awesome poem about walking with Daddy and so I put the poem in the middle and then had a few other pics to go with it. I thought it was tender!
You can't really see the feet in this photo so here it is in color and a little bigger.
I think Jason really enjoyed these pictures. The kids were so excited to give them to him. We also gave him a new Nike shirt so it wasn't a total bummer of gift giving on Father's Day and the kids gave him a couple of his favorite snacks as well. I gave him a "Trip Around the World." I got the idea from www.thedatingdivas.com. It's the "Passport to Love" post. So far we've taken a Caribbean Cruise and that was a lot of fun. In July we are going to London for the Olympics!
I'm so grateful to have married such a wonderful man who not only takes care of his wife but also his children. Jason is the kind of dad who plays with his children and will sit and let them climb all over him and wrestle with him. He loves to sit and watch sports with his son and he'll even sit and watch a girly show with his girls. He teaches them how to play sports and could spend hours outside kicking a ball or throwing some pitches to his kids. He's the kind of dad who has no problem taking all 4 children by himself and I know that if I can't be where they are that they will be well taken care of by their dad. He's never been afraid to change diapers, get up with a crying child in the night or even clean up after a sick child. He's the best kind of father a kid could ask for and it's no wonder that they are all "daddy's girls and boy." To my children their real superhero truly is their Dad!

Drum Roll Please...

Nate has wanted a boy from the very beginning. We asked him why he wanted a baby brother. He said, "so I can play fetch with him." And then after that his answers got much better. We asked
him what if Heavenly Father sends us a baby girl? He got very serious and said "No! I'll punch her in the face!" So, I guess we'll see what happens...
