Happy Father's Day

So this last weekend was Father's Day and overall it was a pretty good weekend. It started on Saturday when Brian and his friend Neil took little Neil and Jaron to Rocky Mountain Raceways. The boys had a blast watching all the "super fast cars" as Jaron put it. I was surprised the boys lasted as long as they did. They left at 3 pm and didn't get home till a little after 9 pm. As for me I went to the mall and enjoyed how easy it was with only 2 kids. Then I went and spent the rest of the day with Shiloh. We definatly enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Sunday we let Brian sleep in and when he got up the boys gave big hugs and kisses and gave him their homemade presents. I helped them to put their handprints and footprints on paper then I found poems to go with each of them.

Jaron's had his handprints on it and here is the poem I added to it:

Hand Prints

Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small

And always leave my finger prints on furniture and walls

But everyday I'm growing, I'll be grown someday

And all those tiny hand prints will surely fade away

So here's a little hand print just so you can recall

Exactly how my fingers looked when I was so small

Jason's had a hand print and a foot print and his poem is as follows:

Daddy's Shoes

I love to wear your shoes Daddy, as you can clearly see

Pretending I'm as big as you for soon that day will be

I hope to be like you someday

Strong, Patient, Full of love

You're the greatest dad on Earth with quite the shoes to fill.

Kaitlyn's was her footprints and here is her poem:

Walk with me Daddy

Walk alongside me Daddy and hold my little hand

I have so many things to learn that I don't understand

Every child needs a gentle hand to guide them as they grow

So walk alongside me Daddy we have a long way to go.

He loved them and seemed surprised that I was a little creative. HAHA I also made him a music cd with some favorite songs of his that remind him of the kids. I made him breakfast then we headed down to Ron and Kit's for a visit. That was nice then we went up to my folks house to see my Dad. Overall it was a pretty good day especially since the Lakers decided to squeek a win out and put off Boston getting the championship for at least another game.

That's all for now, I will be back with more later this week.
