Happy Father's Day!

We celebrated our favorite guys yesterday! 

A wrapping idea I saw on interest

Dave got to sleep in, 

 and open his cards and gifts from Kiera.

Another Pinterest idea...a fill-in-the-blank worksheet your child 

answers about their daddy. We're going to do it each year

 (if we remember, that is!)

Anxiously awaiting "breakfast" in bed...

a mini Mama Jo's pie for all to share.

 Before we headed to Grandpa's...Tyler came over and we had lunch together 

and then Gavin called on the phone. (no pictures though)

We checked out Grandpa's garden, and were totally jealous of how big 

his plants are, especially since we shared our plants grown from seeds with him!

 Enjoying a little treat with Grandpa and Gram

 Grandpa!

 Daddy!

 Papa!

 After Grandpa's, we went to Mimi and Papa's for a delicious perch dinner. 

Ryan came to dinner too. 

We didn't get to see Grandpa Kette (because he had plans) but 

Dave did talk to him on the phone. Happy Father's Day! We love you!

Pumpkin Pie

Kiera was making her own version of pumpkin pie...she filled up water in a tupperware container and was stirring it up, pretending to add sugar. Dave asked her "Where's the pumpkin in your pumpkin pie?" And that prompted us to really make a pumpkin pie. It was meant to be; we had all of the ingredients at home.  Can't wait for more on Thanksgiving Day!

Rolling

 More rolling

 Patting

 Pouring

 Baking and waiting

 Enjoying...fork optional! 

More Playground Fun

After dinner we headed to Play in Bay for some fun!

A few of the pics are too sunny, but still cute!

Today Kiera told me that "When I grow up, I'm going to hatch a baby from here (pointing to her tummy)."

Hugs for Daddy

Dave was working on installing the new TV in the kitchen. Kiera is Dave's little helper (or is that hinder-er?) anytime he is working on a project. After they finished, they posed for some cute pics!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Happy Birthday, Dad! I hope it was a happy one!

We enjoyed a lovely evening and dinner (grilled swordfish, your fave!) on the patio with you. Too bad our camera is having a "lens error" so I couldn't capture the moment.

I am thankful for the time we spend (and have spent) together, and even more thankful that you get to spend so much time together with Kiera. I have always enjoyed our Father/Daughter fishing trips and I look forward to this summer's Father/Daughter/Granddaughter fishing trip!

***I have a pic of me and my dad fishing that will be added soon.
I have to find it, then scan it because it was taken before the digital camera!***
Check back later!
