{Daddy's Day :: 2014}

this was a fun daddy's day that's for sure!
dave had an idea for a backyard fire pit so they started working on it together friday and saturday. they did a pretty good job stickin it out!:)



after church on sunday we came home for some quick pics and a quick clothes change.




i digress for a moment...the door from the garage was left half way open...as it often is as we all run in...janey and i were the last to come in and when i glanced in the house it looked so pretty and homey to me i just had to take a pic.


party decorations still up.
breakfast cups still on the counter.
a church backpack dropped on the floor.
it was spontaneous and perfect.
and i love it.

next, we headed off on a little mini adventure. dave loves to scour yelp for funky new places and he found one not to far from us. it was the perfect charming little dive....and the food was yummy!!! simple burgers and fries...but awesome!  and homemade ice cream too.




we listened to music in the car and laughed and joked around. it was the perfect afternoon.

later, aubrey asked to fly a kite.
give a fl fisherman a chance to drag out his fishing pole and he will!! it's the only thing that makes kite flying easy in 30 mph winds!!!:) haha




a yummy dinner
made by the best cook ever!



homemade cards and gifts perfect for a new fire pit!



not sure what's up with aubrey...?



we love you daddy!

 that evening...the moment we had all been waiting for....we had fire!


...after awhile! 
we learned to start it a bit earlier next time!:)


first s'mores of the season!


funny after the s'mores (cause of course they could only have one...they were HUGE!) they kept running in to find anything to roast over the fire! they came back with bread...aubrey wasn't a big fan of fire cooked toast!:)



and someone else is not a fan of sparklers!:)




thanks for the awesome new backyard fun daddy and thanks for being you! we all love you very much!

and happy father's day to my awesome dad too!
we weren't together...but the end of june is coming soon!
dave will cook ya a big steak!!:)

{Happy Daddy's Day}

after a hand delivered homemade breakfast and a relaxing moment setting up your fly rod and watching cooking shows we got to the fun stuff.
 



 
after our standard gift of pistachios and perrier...
 
 
...we got to the good stuff.
a much needed new pair of crocs with a little somethin' somethin' hidden inside.
 

 
you thought it was just cologne, but we got you good!!:)
a new ipod nano.
cause fishin solo and doing yard work are so much more fun with a few tunes.
 



 
happy daddy's day to one amazing daddy.
we love you so.

{Daddy's Day}

we sure do love our daddy
hopefully we shower him with that love everyday
not just on the day

this year dave's special day began on the sofa where he spent a leisurely morning catching up on DVR'ed episodes of Diners Drive-ins and Dives
there was a "rapid-fire hand-delivered-so-speedy it blurred the photo" homemade breakfast
of course


sometimes it's hard to tell who is more excited about the gifts around here
the giver or the getter??:)

we were most proud of the daddy love book we made this year
i first saw the idea in Real Simple Magazine
it was for mother's day, but we adapt well :)
i started with a blank, hardbound book we got at michaels
we put in all the saved love notes and art work the girls had made for dave through the years
i'm not a big saver when it comes to most things
but i can't part with any of this kind of lovely homemade goodness
it was so amazing to look at 9 years of daddy love
to see all the memories
the love
the growth
right there in one place
what a keepsake this is going to be
{i bought a blank book to put my things in too...is that bad?!?!:) }

here is a quick sneak peek inside


all that love took up quite a few pages
but there are lots and lots of blank pages waiting to be filled
can't wait to watch this book grow

needless to say, dave loved it!

to the greatest daddy in the world....we love you!!!!
today and every day


happy daddy's day to my sweet daddy too
we love you poppy!
