Today is a day of celebrations. And boy do we like celebrations in our family. It is not only Father's Day, Cyrena's 1/2 birthday, and our 7th anniversary, it's also the first day of summer! Now that's a lot to pack into one day, but we're doing our best to make everyone feel important.
We'll start with Cyrena's 1/2 birthday. The poor girl has a birthday so close to Christmas it makes a 1/2 birthday necessary. We've been talking about it for a few weeks now and she has eagerly looked forward to having cupcakes on her 1/2 birthday. While I was in Utah I found her the 'cutest' pink baseball glove for just $5 at Big Lots! I love that place. She has been wanting a pink baseball glove for awhile. Excuse her lack of vocabulary in the video, she forgot what they were called. She loves to play baseball outside with David and is so happy she can play catch with him now!
Now on to Father's Day. I'm so grateful for this day to honor and think about all the wonderful fathers in my life. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by men who honor the priesthood, who treat women with respect and who can always make me laugh! That's important. A big thank you and I love you to David's dad and stepdad and to my own dad.
This is how I found them yesterday afternoon, watching a movie together. Or was it golf?
Cyrena made this candy poster for David. She had so much fun picking out treats at the store since we never buy candy from the checkout line. She helped me compose the words then taped on all the candy for him. She was ecstatic to show him this morning. She drew a picture of her, daddy and Natalie in the top right corner.
Natalie wanted to grab all the candy off the poster, she loved the noisy wrappers. She is such a grabber, changing her diaper is a nightmare.
I'm so grateful for the effort David puts into fatherhood. He is always willing to stop whatever he's doing to play with his girls. Cyrena is his sidekick, where he is she wants to be also. She gardens with him, fixes things with him, eats with him, watches sports with him, laughs with him, and dances with him. David is quick to laugh, can fix anything, and has the patience of a saint. All great qualities in a dad!

I was about to ask about your anniversary, but then I remembered that was when you "surprised" him with going out.
Cute poster, did you know what candy you wanted before you made it?
I am glad that all the events went well. I knew it was a big day for you guys.I love the poster idea and I am sure that David will love all the candy. Can you believe that our girls are 3 and a half? Where did the time go? I am sure that Cyrena didn't let you forget that she too needed breakfast in bed.
Soooo sweet, I love how you make everyone in your family feel so special!! You have such a sweet little family, and you are such a good mother and wife, I really look up to you!!
I love when she got a little vocal on her video. I cant believe she talks!
What a big day for you guys! Happy anniversary. How fun that it fell on Father's Day too. I guess that will happen every so often. Cyrena is so grown up! Just watching her on the video was crazy. I can't believe what a blondie Natalie is. Oh, and I love that second picture down of her cheesy grin on your last post. That candybar poster was AWESOME, by the way.
Do you have a Christmas in July too? I think I might move in with you if you do. What fun celebrations!
I love the poster! that's so fun!
I love candy bar posters. They are fun to make for lots of occasions! I love Cyrena's little drawing in the corner!
Ahh, Cyrena is getting SOOO big! She is such a little girl, when in my mind she's still a baby. We missed seeing you, but it was way fun to see David.
Very cute poster.
