Father's Day Fun...

Anna Lauren is always super excited about anything that is a project or craft of some sort.  So...she got busy Saturday night and Sunday morning preparing for Daddy to arrive home from his fishing trip on Father's Day.  She said it sure is much easier to do things for Daddy when he is out of town and you are not having to sneak around.  She has a point...ha ha!

This was kind of a "last minute" thought Sunday morning, but they made a sign to hang on the garage door...

Anna Lauren likes to come up with fun/creative things to do...so...we had discussed Father's Day all week and landed on this idea.  Each kid would put things they like about daddy inside of a balloon...then he would have to pop all the balloons and read them. We ended up with 28 balloons that Anna Lauren and Cooper put all over the house.

Some of the balloons were in obvious places...

And some of them had to be found.  As a matter of fact, we still cannot find one of them.

Anna Lauren walked into the kitchen and she had made this banner...didn't ask for any help...just did it all on her own.  I thought it turned out really cute...we may just leave it up all week.

Daddy arrived home around lunch time...one little boy was beyond excited to see him!

Daddy is the fun one so they were missing their play mate 
for sure!!!

Cooper didn't let Daddy even take a breath before he had him popping his balloons...

Oh my gosh...love Cooper's shadow on the wall...

Rather he was excited or not, he looked excited...a new grill (we just couldn't pick out what he wants)...

High fives for a new grill...

Cooper's favorite things about Daddy...written just the way he said them.

Sam's favorite things...

And Anna Lauren's favorites...

Hopefully he will actually go pick out a grill soon because he sure has been complaining about needing a new one.

They may not realize it now, but one day, these three will realize just how lucky they are.  Don't think you could find any better to call their Daddy!

Just a normal picture doesn't seem "fitting" for Matt...one thing for sure, it is always an "adventure" with him, and we wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  He loves life and makes sure every single day is fun for our family!

Happy Father's Day, Matt!!!  We love you!!!
