Better Late Than Never...Father's Day!

OK...so I'm really late with this post. But as the title says...Better Late Than Never, right?!? Funny how that has become my motto more and more lately. :)

We celebrated Father's Day on Saturday the 20th, a day early. Sunday we celebrated our nephew, Keaton's 2nd birthday party.

Saturday morning the girls and Sawyer gave Matt his cards they made for him. They then walked him down the street to our neighbor's garage where we had been hiding his Father's Day present. We got him an in-ground basketball hoop! He was very surprised and excited...as were the kids! I'm most excited because he loves it and will use it with the kids, the kids love it, and I know a lot of great memories will be created. We grilled up steaks and sweet potatoes and sauteed mushrooms along with some of Matt's other favorite foods for lunch. And, I drove to Kearney for the birthday party while he slept and listened to his iPod (well, and helped tend to the kids when needed too along the way...it can't be all relaxation.) :)

Happy VERY late Father's Day to all the great dads, especially Matt, my dad, and my father-in-law! A good dad is SO important!


The girls walking dad into the neighbor's garage with his eyes closed of course.

I had a garage sale to get money for this hoop. I kept telling Matt I needed the money for something. It was worth it!

The girls were very proud of the hoop. Sawyer was DONE with pictures!

Ready for lunch...Daddy gets served first.

Yum!

I love you, Dad!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING you have always done for me and for continuing to be there for me even now that I'm grown. I guess a dad's work is never done. :)
