Father's Day

...So far behind, so might as well go out of order at this point!

We started off the day with The Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls.. MMmmm-mmm-mm!  Took awhile to make, but well worth it!  I halved the recipe and it made 20 rolls!  We froze the small pan to enjoy some other time.

After breakfast/brunch Cole decided he wanted to try riding his bike.  He doesn't fully understand the left-right-left concept of pedaling.. but he's slowly getting it.  We've since stepped back to the big wheels and he is flying around on that, we'll move on to the bike again a few weeks.



Then it started getting steamy.. so we moved to the backyard to cool off in the pool.  The Sevin's have a boat which is a big hit with Cole, and since he's not a huge fan of swimming we decided to get one so he can  have fun in the pool without actually being in the pool. 

Cora loves the kiddie pool, she likes scooping up the water and dumping it out of the pool.. here she is showing me the water she put on the ground.

Worst goggles ever!  They don't hold even a drop of water out, but they look pretty professional!

Caden and Daddy hang out.

Caden shows me how far he can go under water!  This is huge progress from last year when he didn't like getting his face wet.  Now he'll even swim underwater!  well.. with his face underwater, he's still on the surface. 

Cole hung out in the kiddie pool with Cora, replacing the water she dumped out with more water from the pool. Rob got him in the big pool for about 10 seconds before he informed us that it was too cold!


Now don't you wish you spent Father's Day like this Father?!


My attempt at a group shot... at least they are all looking in the same direction right?!

During Cole and Cora's nap Caden and I played in the pool some more while Rob went by the grocery store for some quiet time, and then he broke out the chainsaw for some manly work.  Caden and I had a squirt gun fight in the pool.. very fun, especially while floating around on the island.

Even though it was about 90 degrees, they found their winter hats which apparently I hadn't put away yet.  All three had them on and they told me to take a picture, but in the 4 seconds it took me to get it Cole was off and running.

After dinner Caden decided to set up a "camp center" to practice for our upcoming camping trip.  Cora just chilled in her seat drinking her juice box.

All in all I think it was an enjoyable relaxing Dad's day.  I hope all the rest of you Dad's had a great day!

First of all, why were we not called over to enjoy these cinnamon rolls?!!! Ha! Just kidding! They look amazing!

LOVE the pic of Rob relaxing on the float. Classic Father's day. :)

All of the pics are so great. I cannot get over how old Caden looks in many of these photos.
