Father’s Day has come and gone and with all the chatter around what you should make your man to where you should take your man, we thought we’d share what actually went down.

Father’s Day pretty much stunk last year… well not really it was just completely non-existent. You see Father’s Day last year fell on the day after our wedding and we were dashing off to Maui for our honeymoon. So this year I wanted to do something special for Wesley and make up for his lack up Father’s Day last year.

Cory Morrow is one of our favorite Texas Country music artists and when Vanessa told me he was playing at Cedar Street downtown, I knew I had to scoop up some tickets for my man. I won’t go into how my surprise turned into a disaster {I would need an entirely separate blog}, but let’s just say the surprise was ruined by my husband. Either way, we still had a fantastic night… we started at Sullivan’s for dinner and made our way to the show. We stayed out way past our 10 pm bed time until 1 am and overall, had a great night!

Fast forward to actual Father’s Day, when I started getting sick so once again, Father’s Day kind of stunk. I made Wesley chocolate chip pancakes, we went to Home Depot, had lunch at Thunder Cloud Subs, and I pretty much whined all day about how crappy I felt. Wesley said he felt like he had two babies to take care of. So once again, Father’s Day=Fail. Here’s {hold up your glass} to a shot at Father’s Day 2013 being a success.

Wal-Mart may be the land of obese zombies who make seriously unfortunate wardrobe choices but it also is the home of cheap and easy Father’s Day gifts that are ready in just one hour– phew! For the past two years, “V” has made her Dad a photo book full of pictures of just the two of them. Silly moments, serious moments, at the zoo or in pajamas, these pictures celebrate her growth as a little person and his growth as a Dad over his first and now second year of fatherhood. Here’s hoping it is a tradition she can lovingly carry on for him herself someday. Along with the crepes we had for lunch at Cafe Crepe downtown— well, that part was for me. 😉

I cherish my time in bed and love to sleep in every chance I get…even if it’s Father’s Day…so I knew with 99% certainty that Matt would wake up before me. So, being the sneaky sleeper that I am..I pre-planned a photo session with Caroline and a chalkboard to get some cute pictures of C holding up a sign for her daddy and set my alarm to 5 am on Father’s Day to throw the thing on FB…if it’s not on FB it’s like it never really happened, right? So, that was the first thing I did. Then we went to Zax for brunch where my hubby had French Toast. Then we did what we do every other dang weekend…house hunt in one of our target neighborhoods, spend some time at the park with our little lady and head home to get ready for the next week. It wasn’t the most eventful day, but I did surprise Matt with some great DIYs for his desk! His favorite present…such a goof…was that I surprised him with a LARGE Chic-Fil-A Banana Pudding Milkshake (that’s out for a limited time only) last night. He read about it on this hilarious blog and has been bugging me for one ever since. (Warning: The blog has some obscene language)

The Hubs woke up wanting to go for a run so the kids and I got his gifts and cards ready. He grabbed breakfast for the family afterwards (I offered but it is his Sunday routine…he gets breakfast tacos for us and donuts for the kids every single Sunday). When he got home the kids and I surprised him with a brand spanking new set of Callaway golf clubs + all kinds of other goodies too. He was so shocked and surprised with his golf set, he was still on cloud 9 today and even took 1/2 a day off to go to the range on Monday. {I hardly ever get to completely shock him with a gift…that puts me on cloud 9:)} After gifts we set out on a 2 mile hike through the Barton Creek greenbelt hoping to swim at Twin Falls. Well there wasn’t any water, so we headed to our neighborhood pool instead, then went home to grill burgers. It was a very fun day celebrating the love of my life and him being the most amazing daddy to our three boys!How did you celebrate your baby daddy?
