Father's Day

June 14 was Flag Day. I didn't get a flag selfie that day. Oh well.

 

June 15 was Father's Day. I also didn't get a flag selfie but there wasn't a flag on our lawn that day. 

We did get a picture of Jeremy and Jr. together while Jeremy wore his tie that Jr. gave him many many years ago.

Jeremy requested taco salad for dinner and the kids made him a card.

Nichole created the front. I just love how adoringly the little penguin is looking up at his Daddy.  

 

June 15 was also National Electricity Day. Jet went around pretending like he was shocking everyone (electricitying them). He's so cute.

Father's Day 2024

We did not make Jeremy breakfast for Father's Day this year on June 16. He did request what dinner he wanted including dessert so I have a funny story to tell about his dessert.

He had gotten a recipe for root beer float pie and wanted that so I got up early to make it for him (it is supposed to be in the freezer for so many hours). I had a graham cracker crust from the store because I figured I wouldn't have the time to make a crust from scratch. Sigh. So I made the filling and there was too much to fit in the one pie crust. Ugh. So I realized I needed to make a graham cracker pie crust after all. As I was getting a recipe and making the crust, Jeremy joked that there would be too much for one pie crust so I'd have to make two crusts then I'd need to make more filling and on and on and on. Lo and behold, I ended up with enough graham cracker stuff to make two pie crusts. I ended things by filling the first homemade crust with the rest of the pie filling and putting the other homemade crust in the freezer to use for a different pie later. Ha Ha Ha.

Jeremy didn't complain and he didn't complain about the rest of his dinner, either. He had chicken enchiladas and jalapeno popper egg rolls. Yumm.

Besides the food, I printed some little booklets for the kids to fill out about Jeremy. I got them from Jordan Page at funcheaporfree.com

Of course at church Jeremy wore his Father's Day tie that Jr. decorated for him when he was in Nursery 14 years ago.

Father's Day 2023

Jeremy wanted Hungarian food for Father's Day and sauteed zucchini with mushrooms so he had to do most of the shopping and cooking for it. He did request french bread which I was happy to contribute.

Jeremy also wore his tie that Jr. decorated for him for Father's Day 13 years ago. He's worn it most years on Father's Day since then.

Orchestra Concert

Nichole and Jr. had their first orchestra concert of the school year and since they are both at the same school this year but in different orchestras (and there are only two orchestras), I got to record all the musical pieces of the concert.

Great job, kids.

See Jr.'s new tie that a man in our ward made for him? It has sheet music on it.

Catch of the Day

I'm ready for church.
