Happy Father's Day

We have been celebrating Father's Day all weekend and have had lots of fun. Friday night, the ShadowBend YMCA began their Movie Under the Stars series.... They set up a big screen outside and allowed families to bring their lawn chairs and enjoy a movie. The kids got to do a little Father's Day craft, they had popcorn and lemonade, and we watched Daddy Day Care. The big kids really enjoyed it. And most importantly, the weather was fantastic! We have had very hot afternoons here in the upper 90's... however, it is very dry and the evenings are cool with a nice breeze. Hard to believe but we are certainly enjoying it.

Saturday morning, we had our family portraits taken at church by Olan Mills. St. Anthony is putting together a photo directory of all its families. We got some great shots of the family including one of Chris and I that I love. Our photographer had a silly monkey that really made the kids smile. Unfortunately, we don't get our pictures for 3-4 weeks!

Saturday night, we spent the evening at Alden Bridge pool. David has overcome his fear of the kiddie slides. Alden Bridge has a butterfly theme slide and David spent his 2 hours going up and down the slide about 100 times! Emily's swimming is really coming along and she was able to do the big kid tube slides at the same pool. These slides spit you out into the deep end - pretty fast I might add. She very calmly swam to the side of the pool after going down these slides. We were very impressed. She can also float on her back for almost 2 minutes now. Big Girl!

We took the family to church on Father's Day morning and had a nice brunch at home to celebrate. The kids were very excited for Daddy to open his present. The D-A-D letters were painted by David. He was quite proud of them.

Here are David's and Emily's artwork for Daddy and his Father's Day T-shirt.

And... Emily made a painting for her Grandpa as well:
