Happy Father's Day

This year for Father's Day, 

we made our  

7th Annual Father's Day Collage,

went swimming with our Life Group 

and... 

we got kittens!!!

 

We love you, Dad!!!

The Father's Day Collage

My sister started this tradition. I liked the idea & jumped in, too. This is our 6th Annual Father's Day Collage. Dad was really looking forward to it.

Now, my questions for my sister - Are y'all still doing it? How many have you made? Where does he display them all???

Happy Father's Day!

Once again, I have no photos to share of me with my Daddy, but I did wish him a Happy Father's Day today. I took this picture last Sunday when we had lunch together.

My kids loved what their dad chose to do for Father's Day today...

(I think Rebekah was putting a rock in her mouth.
David & Elizabeth were probably trying to catch minnows.)

Another fun Father's Day
and I love you both!

Father's Day: Part Two

Here's Dad with his 4th annual Father's Day collage. You can't see too much of it, but I wanted to point out that David watercolor painted the background paper for this year's collage. I thought it turned out really good.

It gets harder & harder each year to select the photos for this! There's so many I want to include! I got this great idea from my sister - click there to see her collages.

He also enjoyed David's card and has now finished off all the cookies! And just one more honor for Dad, here am I, his adoring wife, sporting a new "celebrate your spouse" shirt from From*me Tees. This one says, "My husband My Hero," which I thought was totally appropriate for my hero/firefighting husband. : )

On another note, I wonder if my blog is getting boring or something, because I haven't been getting many comments lately... even when I mentioned a giveaway a few days ago. What's up?!

Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day: Part One

We love Dad! Here are a few things we've had up our sleeve to get ready for Father's Day...

We made a batch of Dad's favorite cookies, chocolate chip with M&M's. It took some work, but I was able to save some for Dad between David, Grandpa, Uncle Bubba's family, and myself!


Really, you don't have to worry, Dad, there's plenty left. (Dad's at the fire station today.)

We got a card for Dad and David signed his name and wrote Dad's name on the envelope! I was very proud of him, we haven't really been working on writing yet!

.

The annual Father's Day collage is ready, but I'm not going to post a picture of it, just in case Dad checks the blog tonight. I'll post it tomorrow.

.

While we were at it, I asked David if he could draw a face for me. I drew him a simple stick fact to show him how, then he did this face on a Post-it. I have him another Post-it and he drew the body, arms, and wheels for his robot! This is the first person-type drawing David has ever done! Usually when we're drawing, he just goes abstract or he asks me to draw a car, then he colors it in.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads reading this post today... especially mine!

This is Dad's 2007 Father's Day Collage! It's not as colorful as in years past, but all my pretty papers are in storage! We love you, Dad!

A Father's Day Tribute

Aunt Sissy started a neat tradition when the girls were little - a Father's Day collage. I've seen Uncle Glenn's office in the past & would say it was quite a hit, filling the walls! We started the same thing last year. Here is our first collage.






This year's Father's Day collage.

Happy Father's Day to Dad from David!!!



And now to walk down memory lane...



I looked for a picture of just the two of us, but Aunt Sissy probably has them all, so here I am with my Daddy, Momma, Sissy & Bubba. I'm the little one. This must have been some time in 1973. Except for his beard now, Daddy looks pretty much the same! Check out Bubba's tie!!! I just wonder what Daddy's looked like behind Bubba... it's probably still in his closet!

Happy Father's Day to David's Grandpa!!!




Here is Dad with Grandpappy at a wedding in 1980. I heard a line in a TV show in last Friday night that said, "How can you miss somebody so much who you never knew?" I understood.

Happy Father's Day to David's Grandpappy!!!
