Father's Day 2011

Father's Day this year was just a few days after we moved into the new house. Things were pretty wild around our house, but we had a good day (hopefully Josh did too :) As our table was in pieces (and is in the process of being refinished-hooray!) we set up a little breakfast for Josh at the counter. The sad thing is that there is really only room for 3 chairs so the boys gave him the boot and he had to eat his Father's Day breakfast standing up :)
One of our gifts to Josh was a package of "Juicy Fruit" gum. Back in 2008 when life was pretty crazy around our house (Mrs. Utah and such), I totally FORGOT about Father's Day. Right up until I sat down in church and heard the person conducting the meeting wish all of the father's a happy Father's Day. I felt SO BAD! I looked over at Josh and he just smiled and said "I wondered if you were going to remember." I looked around for anything in my bag to write him a little Father's Day note and I only had a Juicy Fruit wrapper. I wrote a little message to him and the boys passed it to him. He thought it was funny and has kept it ever since (I am waiting for my chance to get rid of it as it is a reminder that I am a space cadet!) Anyway, this year must of been a good year for Father's Day, because he got the whole package. He liked it :)

Can you see all of the boxes in the background?  We are ALMOST done unpacking. 
Another of his gifts was a new pillow...random, but needed :)
We went to our new ward on Father's Day and had a great experience. The people were so nice and welcoming. Hunter came home with this cute Father's Day poster he made in his class.

The boys and I made these little cards for Josh and my Dad.


I found this idea here.

Josh and Hunter took a little Sunday nap together.
Josh liked the Father's Day cards.

This is the package we made for Grandpa's cards.
He liked them too. We went to my parent's house for a Father's Day dinner with the Palmer side of the family. It is always so much fun to be around all of the cousins.
Later that night Hunter was running to go outside and tripped running straight into the door frame. It swelled so big that it made me a little sick. He WOULD NOT let us put ice on it. We ended up putting cold water on it for a little bit and it went down. We were so terrified that he had a concussion. Luckily he is a tough kid, he was fine and playing later.
This was the Father's Day sunset. It was beautiful
We had such a great day and I have thought over and over about how lucky I am (as are my boys) to have such a great husband and father. I am constantly amazed at what great men they are. I am a seriously blessed gal.
