Happy Birthday and Father's Day

David's birthday is the 12th, so we always have his birthday and Father's Day within the same week. It's a lot of celebrating, but we all enjoy it and David deserves it.

For his birthday, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

We came home and opened gifts.

The kids decorated the wrapping paper with pictures of flowers and superheroes.


We made David a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. His favorite.

We sang Happy Birthday.

David made a wish.

Not sure what he wished for, but I hope it comes true.

For Father's Day, David made us breakfast. Then, we headed to the pool. We seem to do this every year on Father's Day.

The kids took turns riding on David.


Then while Emily was trying to do some tricks, Ben and David did their own trick.

Emily doing some more tricks and David and Ben doing the helicopter.

Noah doesn't like to be left out, so he gave it his best.

Noah got his first swim lesson with no floaties.

I'm getting ready to make David lasanga for dinner, which I do once a year on Father's Day and he gets to relax for the rest of the day.

What I really want to say about David is that he really is a blessing to all of us. When I married him, I knew he'd be a great husband and he is. But on top of that, he's a wonderful Dad. He is always there for them. From the second he wakes up to when he goes to bed, he is never too busy for them. I love that about him. November will mark 10 years that we've been together, and I still wonder how did I get so lucky?

Happy Birthday and Father's Day to the best husband and father around. We love you.
