Father's Day

The good thing about a tradition is that you always know what to expect. The bad thing about a tradition is that you always know what to expect. I've been getting Richie these shutterfly books for Father's Day for the past 3 years or so. Just pictures of he and the kids and some nice words to go along inside. So yes, he always knows what he's getting, but I think he still enjoys it.



I tried to pamper him a little on his day, like he always does for me. He didn't have to change any diapers or deal with the kids at all during church! (Best present ever if you ask me) He got asked to speak in sacrament meeting Saturday night, and while that was kind of crummy, at least he didn't have to wrestle 2 biting, screaming, hitting, body-going-limp kids during the longest hour of the week. And his talk was fabulous of course, but what do you expect from a seminary teacher. :)

He got to take a Sunday nap, we made apple pie and ice cream to take to the Christensen's for dessert, and after the kids went to bed, I surprised Richie with a pedicure. Yep, a pedicure. Truth be told, I think he kind of liked it.

Gwen now fits into this adorable sailor dress that Grandma Garner got her before she was born. Out of about 50 pictures, I finally got a good one. Miles was feeling left out and asked me to take a picture of him. What cuties!!
