Happy Father's Day 2014

Reagan planned a special Father's Day breakfast for Greg this year.  She wanted to surprise him with cinnamon pancakes!  She wanted everyone to hide and yell "Surprise" when he came downstairs, but I reminded her he knew it was Father's Day!!

putting all the ingredients for the pancakes

Cooper helped too!



she even poured them out on the griddle by herself

Cooper read his card to Greg

sweet family - notice the rabbit ears over Greg's head!

Reagan read her card to Greg too

next came the gifts~a jar full of kisses

not sure what they're laughing at, but they had a great time!

Ready for breakfast - cinnamon pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles

After breakfast, we headed to church.  Again, the kids like to get there a few minutes early so they can have the playground all to themselves!

 Back home for a son/father/daughter picture

 

Father's Day 2.0

We continued our Father's Day celebration today by making cupcakes.  Reagan had bought the mix last week and planned to make cupcakes over the weekend, but our busyness got in the way.  She couldn't wait another day to make them for her dad!

Ready to begin

 mixing with care

 Reagan kept a careful eye on Cooper just to make sure...

 batter's mixed ~ Cheers!

 licking the batter ~ a tradition

 Reagan iced the cupcakes...

 ...while Cooper couldn't wait for the icing to eat them.  He said they were muffins and didn't need icing!

 add sprinkles and you're all done

 Greg requested chocolate on one of his cupcakes

 Cooper wanted to try his hand at icing my cupcake

 or maybe he just wanted to try the icing!

 Happy Father's Day again!

 Reagan laughed at Greg saying "yum" and "mmm"

Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day!  Today, we celebrated in style.  Reagan had the whole day planned for us.  We awoke extra early and went to Greg's favorite breakfast restaurant, Cracker Barrel, before church.  After church, we had a cook-out at Gigi and Bubba's (complete with ice cream) and then a boat ride.  Reagan wanted to go to a "fancy restaurant" for dinner, but we ran out of time and ran out of room in our bellies!!

Happy Father's Day!

 How handsome is he?

 the kids wanted to get their picture made together so they could print it and put it in a frame for Greg.  Still need to do that!

 At Gigi & Bubba's, Cooper wasted no time getting on his 4-wheeler

gorgeous girl

 Reagan had an "incident" on the boat ~ she scraped her knee, had a little blood and kept screaming, "I don't want to die! I'm losing too much blood!"  It was so loud and went on for so long, we had to turn around and go back to the house so she could calm down.

 a little over dramatic to say the least ~ as you can tell, Cooper thought it was hilarious!

 oh, the pain!

 Can you say DRAMA QUEEN?

 Captain of the boat

 won't be long before he's at the helm for real

 Greg had a very relaxing Father's Day

 the crying has stopped

 he takes after his dad!

 Finally, a smile

 Reagan and Gigi

 wrestle time

 she enjoyed herself after all!

Happy Father's Day to my dad!  Sorry I wasn't there to celebrate with you, but I was thinking about you!
