Happy Fathers Day!

So I'm a little late posting this...but girls camp was soon after, then Utah, etc! This Fathers Day started Ben getting breakfast in bed. The kids and I were going to make sure that Ben had a great day, so we started it with one of his favorite breakfast treats; orange rolls!

The kid brought Ben orange rolls in bed. Then Ethan quickly got started on some type of project, while I got Ben's favorite dinner started.

Italian Chicken in the works!
Lemon Cake Baking, soon to be frosted with Orange Cream Cheese frosting!

While Ethan was finishing up his project, Ben came down and worked a crossword with Boston and Aubrie
Ethan's creation was finally becoming apparent. You know he was into it because he didn't even touch his roll!

Ethan finally crowns the KING for the day!
Time to open gifts!!
Ethan wrote him a letter about how much he loves him!
Then he opened the much awaited gift that the kids put together. They bought a box of generic Gas X and took out the pills, and put coupons in it.
Coupons included back rubs, watching ESPN with him, making dinner, watching Sophia, etc. Then he opened my gift, which was a Red Sox shirt and a white shirt and Tie Die. He was feeling a bit left out after our last creations! (which I didn't post but turned out really good!)
Here's 10 reasons of many, why you are a great Father and Husband!!
1. Works hard to provide the essentials and even more!
2. Honors his priesthood
3. Is there to support the kids in all their activities
4. Wants the kids to do their best, but doesn't try to live his life through theirs!
5. Sings to Sophia and paints her toenails
6. Still reads to Aubrie at bedtime
7. Watches all of Ethan's Karate practices
8. Reads the Friend to Ethan on Sundays
9. Makes us LAUGH!
10. Puts his Childeren and Wife FIRST before ANYTHING or ANYONE! (except God of course!)

Afterwards, we all had a chance to wish my Dad a Happy Father's Day LIVE!!! Ben tried to secretly set up Scipe as a surprise for me on Father's Day, but I caught on. It was still just as nice to talk to my Dad face to face, surprise or not! Technology is AWESOME!
Number one reason I love my Dad....He always LOVED me and SUPPORTED me, but never tried to control me!! Love you DAD!!
