happy father's day

for an activity day a while back our primary decorated ties that the men had donated for them to wear on father's day. it sounded silly, but it was really cute seeing all the men walking around in their funny ties. a visual of how much the kids love their daddys! ryan took it a little too far, though...

he wore his orange monkey biking socks to match!

I couldn't get a picture of daddy with both of his kids because sawyer was sleeping before church and kate was moody after church....so we got them separate!

today was also kate's last day in nursery so we decided to give her teachers a present. I was jealous of my sisters in law who were making cute gifts for their kid's teacher's and thinking I wouldn't be able to do it forever....until I decided to do it last minute. I decided to go with the m&m idea because "m's" are kate's favorite.

it says "thanks for showing me how marvelous & magical nursery can be!"

I told kate we were going to give it to her teacher's the night before and she was excited. that night we were saying prayers and she just started repeating after me instead of just listening. I said "thank you for nursery" (kate "babble babble nursery") and "thank you for our teachers" (kate "babble babble teachers") and then she said added "babble babble m's!" too cute! unfortunately, when nursery was over and we went to give it to them she was in kinda a bad mood (how long can I blame this on teething?!?) so it wasn't the cute scene I had envisioned. oh well, I just hope they feel loved!

so anyway, back to father's. I am so lucky! I have a wonderful dad who loves me and loves my children so much! he is the cutest papa and I love how he begs me to let kate stay up just a little longer so he can play with her. we are going to miss living with him so much!!

and ryan....my 5 am hero...who always takes sawyer in the morning so I can sleep in just a little longer and who put 2 crabby kids to bed on his special day because he loves me so much!! I am so lucky!!

thank you for being such an awesome husband and father!
