father's day

For Father's Day, I made Eric one of his favorite breakfasts', Biscuits and Gravy, and we just relaxed around the house. Eric has been a little under the weather(thanks to our trip to see the P*:) So he pretty much laid around all day and watched the US Open...perfect for Father's Day.

Later we went over to my parents for a good ol' BBQ and opened gifts. Eric of course said he didn't want anything, because he never needs anything and it is so hard to figure out what to get him. So I thought I couldn't let that happen, after he got me the camera for my mother's day/birthday...so I surprised him with this

Jack Johnson concert tickets in August!

doesn't he looked thrilled...poor guy is a little sick!

Dad got a new umbrella for the deck, fly fishing excursion, and his favorite things (sugar free candy, Walgreens gift card, Tarahumara gift certs, etc). That is all he really needs.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate my father and husband.

Thanks dad for being you! The one thing I have always gained from you is your example. You have taught us mostly by the way you lead your life. Thanks for putting your family first and for investing every moment of you time to us and our swim meets, water polo games, golf matches, band, piano (sorry I missed my last recital:(), and so much more. I have always loved the support I get from you even as an adult. You are a great dad and grandpa and our kids love you and have so much to learn from you!

Eric, even though I may not say it enough out loud, you know how much you mean to me. You have always made me laugh and that is what I love! You are a great dad to our little girl and I know she adores you! I couldn't have picked a better guy for me. We know what each other needs and wants. I have enjoyed watching you as a father. You are a big help to Taylor(even though she is so easy). I know if we had to get up in the middle of the night to tend to her, you would. Thanks for being a great husband to me and now a wonderful father to Taylor Rae.
