Father's Day

We have a pretty awesome dad at our house!  And he actually got to celebrate Father's Day this year ... usually it is the weekend of mine and Rachel's double birthday and it's hard to squeeze everything in.  But this year, it came before the birthdays, so he got treated like the King he is. The kids gave him something similar to a coupon book of sorts where he was able to pick items that he wanted the kids to complete.  Rachel came up with the ideas and daddy picked 1. clean out his car  2. watch sports with him  3. put on a party for him  4. snowcone of your choice  5.  draw a picture for him  ... so the kids and I had a busy day.  The funniest part, was the "party" they put on for him.  They got out the birthday decorations box and decorated with all sorts of pinwheels, flamingos, mustaches, signs, etc. and then we had ice cream and then they knew how much dad would want to watch a kid's movie with them for his party.  :)

Brandon is still enjoying his job at Osborn Maledon, and when he isn't working, he is playing with the kids.  When he tuckers them out, then he is in his wood shop in the garage.  He has been working hard on lots of wood projects for the house.  He is building plantations shutters for the inside windows (which is such a long process, but they are looking nice), garage storage that keeps the sawdust off the holiday boxes and other garage storage, a wood banister for a more finished look, and seriously built a shed in one day - he's still working on the finishing touches, but it's looking great.

Andrew took all these pictures of Brandon at a swim meet - it's what dad looks like from his perspective.  :)  

Just a few wood projects Brandon has been working on - garage storage with doors and a wood banister

Happy Father's Day!!
