happy fathers day baby!

i just had to post something about the most wonderful father, the kind of father that father's day was created for. my husband brian!! well, we all know that words and writing is not my gifting, but i will do the best that i can to honor him and love him on this special day! brian is really the most patient person. he has never raised his voice to me and is a optimist in every sense of the word. his children love him so much- he is their favorite person to play with!! he plays outside with them, teaches them drums, plays guitar and makes up songs with them, says prayers with them at night, gets up in the morning and helps me change diapers and feed them, not to mention all the work he does to provide for our family! he even watches the kids for me while i grocery shop. on family days he takes us to do fun things like movies, the zoo, the dallas aquarium, bowling, the arcade, barnes and nobles, out to eat, picnics, state fairs, shopping, mall (carousel and play place), and is always being creative and trying to find fun new things to do. another of the things that he does that i love is date audrey. they take oreos over to barnes and noble, and eat cookies and drink water, while she tells him about her day/week. then they go read books, and it is audrey's highlight of her week! we all just adore him, and have enjoyed the last year with him as he has worked from home!! i love you baby, and hope that you have a great father's day.

here we are at one of our really fun dates- he took me to a stars game! it was our first time in the american airlines center. it was so fun.

a couple of pictures from the state fair last year- his favorite part (of course) was the new cars. audrey and zach had fun sitting in cars with him- he is definitely passing on his love of cars and motorcycles!he also took audrey and zach on the ferris wheel. i was (and always have been) too scared to go on it, so i stayed below with the baby.

audrey and zach are already able to play a simple beat on the drums! and we are starting early with makenzie. the drums are a favorite!on one of our family days, he took us to an imax movie- sea creatures. it was a little intense, so the kids didn't last long. but it was a good idea!
