HAPPY FATHERS DAY...
My father's day post is a little late, I know that. Life has been a little busy around here. I am not used to working on top of all my other full time jobs that I have, Mother, Wife, Aunt, Taxi Driver, Friend Babysitter, Secret Keeper, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer,(like that one Dad?Thought you would)
Anyway, Father's day was great this year because Aaron didn't have to work. Its kind of nice when you can cater to the man of the day while he is at home instead of waiting for him to come home from work. This year for father's day the kids and I got Aaron a new Grill. His was a SORRY sight. It is after all 10 1/2 years old. Aaron bought it before we were married (and my friend Thora put it together for him, remember that one Thora :) ? ) The poor thing was on its last leg. The burner underneath only lit in one spot and even then it wouldn't heat very well. And the "lava rocks" in the bottom, well let's just say that they are left over from the last ice age!
Normally I would have gotten a pitcure of Aaron with his new toy but I have been a slacker as of late when it comes to the picture taking dept. I know, what a terrible sin! I promise It will do better. Somehow Aaron convinced me to give him the Grill early too. For those of you who know me, You know that I would rather wait for the occasion ... I love getting presents on the right day... I know yet another terrible sin... I think this is only the second time in our marriage that I have given Aaron his present early. Even Aaron was surprised :)
Well I hope that this grill last us another 10 years. It's exactly what Aaron has been wanting, A grill with the burner on the side and a rack up top for hotdogs... needless to say we have been grilling a fair amount.
Another thing I would like to do this year is list some of the wonderful qualities about Aaron. Since he has been a father for 8 years. I am only going to list 8 things... There are MANY,MANY more than this but I am just funny that way...
1. Aaron will always leave treats for the kids. If there are only 3 donuts left, he leaves them for the kids.
2. Aaron loves spending "special time" with hs kids. He will take them for a ride on the scooter, or let them take turns with him out fishing. No matter what it is he makes sure that they have a good time.
3.Aaron work VERY hard to provide for our family! He has a wonderful work ethic! At times he has been called a workaholic, but it just proves that he is willing to work hard to makes sure his family is provided for.
4. When it comes to loyalty, Aaron is a shoe in. Once he makes up his mind to do something. Good luck getting him to change his mind. He makes me proud of him everyday in the things that he does.
5. Have you ever heard the expression "Stubborn as a Mule"? That is Aaron. I know that some of you are thinking this is not a good thing. I disagree. When Aaron decides to actually do something, it is done 100%. He takes pride in his work and is not afraid to take his time to insure that it is done right.
6.Aaron is thoughtful. He plans thing with us both on an idividual basis and as a family. Recently he planned a getaway for he and I for our 10th anniversary, and everybody knew but me. It was WONDERFUL!!!
7.Aaron is a game player. If there is a game of Killer Bunnies he is there! We have enjoyed playing games with each other since we were first married. ( He is hilarious to play with , when he is losing he gets pouty~hee-hee~)
8. Last but CERTAINLY not least, He is a willing guinea pig. He may not alway like it, but he really does let us try new things and them tells me what he does and doesn't like about it. Thank you Honey for beaing such a good sport sometimes. I love you!!!!
