Father's Day & Father's Day Observed

*This post is for the sisters that were unable to be there (just for the record- I was the ONLY sister there) and so I can remember that we got Dad a gift that he was obviously excited about.

We went to my parents' house Friday late (we got there about 10 PM) so that Bryan could work on the car in the am while it was cool from sitting in the driveway all night. We watched Breach after getting the boys to bed. So I had a rough morning, Little A decided he was ready to get up at 6:30am!!! which got Big A up about 7am. After several failed attempts at "going back to bed," I got up with the boys. I got them toast (that is what Big A asked for) while Little A threw a fit because he likes his daddy to get up with them when he is around- which doesn't bother me at all. Then Jill came home from work and I chatted with her because when she got up from sleeping I knew I wouldn't see her- baby shower for Celeste and then party at the beach for Cynthia. Uncle Mike was already awake and offered to watch the boys so I could go back to bed, it was wonderful. A little while after I got into bed, Bryan got up, worked on the car, showered and was ready to go. Katie went to work in the afternoon, so she wasn't around. Matt brought some friends home to swim in the afternoon. But while the boys were napping, I cleaned the house and Mike and I planned dinner. Oh, I forgot to mention that Mom & Dad were on their way home from Utah, they went to Travis & Cami's wedding. So Mike went to the grocery store to get everything for dinner and we had a pretty good dinner: grilled chicken, pasta-roni, pink salad (Matt's favorite), and rolls. Dad opened his gift from his children but mostly from Mom. Then Bryan and Dad "played" with the new toy, Bryan said "like kids in a candy store," as they were getting the laser to work and starting the saw to "see if it works." This was all happening in the living room. We hung out for a while and then headed home. Oh another thing- the neighbors behind them were having a party, one was just playing music loud and the other was a full on party with DJ, so when we left after 11Pm we drove past to get the address of the DJ party that was still going on but we saw 3 cops driving on the street, so we figured it was taken care of.

Sunday:
Bryan did get up with the boys but it was wasn't as early as the day before. I made breakfast and he got 2 presents that he wanted- a BYU hat and The Office Season 2 on DVD- I thought about giving him The Office early because there has been nothing on TV lately but I waited. We got to church just in time to snag the last bench. I made dinner. We had Flan for dessert (Bryan made most of it but I was trying to get the boys back into bed after getting out many times).
