All tagged Father's Day
Summer is already half way over for us, and it has really been a fast one. I tried not to plan too much this summer, yet we still feel like we are going nonstop. My hopes are the last couple of weeks of July will be calm and full of establishing routines and relaxing. But you can check out all we did in June below!
We spent Father’s Day this year working in our garage. We did start the day with presents followed by church. Then we worked in the garage after lunch! Melody loves a good reason to buy a balloon and a card and celebrate someone!
With both Mother’s and Father’s Day coming up in the next few months, I thought I would share a craft we made for the dads in our lives last year. This was a very easy craft, and I had most of the supplies on hand.
For Father’s Day this year, I had Melody make paper plate grills for Brad and our dads. They were really easy to make and not too messy either. Check them out below.
This year we did get to do a bit more for Father’s Day for Brad than we did last year. One of our favorite restaurants closed, but the location was reopened by a new owner. So we finally got to try that as well.
So unfortunately I didn’t get many pictures from Father’s Day as we just spent time enjoying life. We had a lot of Brad’s favorites throughout the day. We started with cinnamon rolls, lunch were just leftovers (nothing fancy), we went and grabbed coffee from Starbucks as an afternoon pick me up, then we finished the night with dinner and dessert from Freddy’s. I think Brad had a really good day. We ended the day playing outside with Melody which is always fun!
I always find Father’s Day crafts just a bit harder than any other craft. I don’t really know why. This year I found the perfect crafts for our dad’s, but Brad was the hardest one of all. I eventually found something online I liked and went with it. I ideally wanted things that involved her footprint, but she is awful when it comes to putting paint on her feet. This means I need Brad’s help which would ruin the surprise. So we went another route.
Father’s Day this year was pretty low key. We have had (and continue to have) a LOT going on, so we definitely used this day as an excuse to relax as much as possible (including mommy and Melody, ha!).
This year we had a fairly laid back Father's Day to celebrate both Brad and my dad.
Brad bought me a Silhouette Cameo 3 for Christmas last year. I wanted one for a while, and I was ecstatic when he finally bought me one. I started doing projects almost immediately. As you may have read, a lot of Melody's first birthday was done using my Cameo. Below are some of the projects I have done so far!
For Father's Day, I wanted to do something special for Brad from Melody. I wanted to incorporate her footprint in some sort of way. I saw online where someone made superhero cape from a baby's foot.
For Father's Day, we decided to give Brad's dad some sort of foot print picture from Melody. He loves to golf, so what better than a foot print that looks like a hole on the golf course. Check out what we did below!
For Father's Day, I thought it would be cute to make my dad a fish picture out of Melody's foot. I saw different versions online, so I did what I could with the footprint I got.
Sunday was Brad's second Father's Day as a daddy. He is such an amazing dad to Melody. It is true what they say. You do see a completely different side of your husband when he becomes a dad. And you fall in love with him all over again, but for completely different reasons. I knew he would be an amazing dad. He is truly a kid at heart. But seeing him with Melody has been more than I ever expected. Melody and I love you Brad!
So now that it is Father's Day, I can share these adorable cards that I made for Brad and our dads. These will work for any dad, grandpa, great grandpa, or you can even switch them up for moms, grandmas, and great grandmas! They will work for just about any card giving holiday as well. Just change up the wording!
