Father's Day 2009

Happy Father's Day! We spent Friday over at Papa Mike's house to celebrate Father's Day with him. Naturally, we thought we'd make use of his awesome pool, like we did last year!

This first picture was taken last Father's Day, in almost the same spot as this year's picture! Wow, she's grown so much!

Gracie posed with her shades, LOL.

Absolutely precious kisses for Daddy!

Hi, Papa!

Sunday we went to Grandad and Grangi's house to continue the tradition we started last year of Dad and I making our enchiladas together. The recipe also honors Angela's dad, Gerald, who sadly passed away last October. About eight or nine years ago, my dad and Angela were dating and Gerald gave Dad a packet of an enchilada sauce mix. The next weekend while I was visiting, we searched online for an enchilada recipe we could make together. We found an easy one, and the enchiladas were awesome! Dad and I have made it several times since, and it's always a special thing to do together. After we ate lunch, we played a game of Carcassonne (Dad won), and then we played a couple rounds of Star Trek Scene It (Dad's Father's Day gift). Dad won both of those, too. =) It was hard, as there were Voyager and Deep Space Nine questions that none of us had a clue about, but there were some fun ones about the Original Series, the movies, and Next Generation. Even David knew a couple! So we all enjoyed a very fun and special Father's Day.

To Mike, Eric, Greg, Grandpa Burton and David,

Happy Father's Day! You are the best dads and grandads anyone could hope for and we are so blessed! Thank you for all that you are and for loving us so much!

In loving memory of Papa Duane, Grandad Richard, Grandpa Gerald, and Grandpa Claudy. We miss you very much and think of you often.

We love you!!!
