Father's Day 2011

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Father's Day was over a month ago. And you know what? I still have Sean's birthday AND Independence Day to post about! So sue me. This post will be fairly short and sweet because, really, that's all Sean got for Father's day. He had to work on Sunday for the first time all year. Poor guy. :( We made the most of the time we had with him and made him french toast, sausage AND bacon for breakfast.
I should've taken this picture when they were fresh out of the box, but we got him some much-needed shoes for Father's Day. I just took the picture this morning, so he's already been working hard in them for a month. Oh, and do you like Ethan's card for him? Yep, Optimus Prime! It's like that card was made for Ethan to give to him!
So Ethan and I went off to church by ourselves and Sean went to work. After church, we whipped up a batch of chocolate-chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter chips and surprised him at work with them! He took a little while to track down because he was life-guarding at the pool in the rec center and was shocked to see us walk out of the locker room!

We also brought him this little gem!We were tricky and left the pop-top sealed and put the goodies in from the bottom. The tag says: "Goodies in a can for our favorite family man." So clever, I know. This is what it looked like when he popped the top.
Even though his Father's Day was short and sweet, Ethan and I sure appreciate what a good daddy Sean is!! He is kind, patient, funny, loving and fun to be with. He works hard for our family and we love him very much!!

As far as gifts for my dad and Sean's dad go, well... they are still sitting in our house! They are kind of an odd size to ship, so I am bringing my dad's with me on my next Oregon visit and Loren's will go in a package I am slowly getting together to send down to Simi... I am so grateful for everything that both of these men do for our family and we love them very much!!


PS: I had to include this... It's a card I found while looking for Father's Day and I could totally see it coming from my sister, Christine, to give to my Dad! Ha ha ha!!

"Dad, every year you say something like, 'I don't want anything for Father's Day,' or 'Don't go spending any money on me.' Well, I just have one thing to say..."

"...no problem. (By the way, could you reimburse me for this card? Also, the card shop was next to a shoe store, so I'll need a little extra.) Happy Father's Day from your Daughter."
