Ohhhhh DADDY!...

HELLO and HAPPY DADDY's day to all you Dad's out there!
I LOVE Father's Day.   I have the most wonderful Father and it's always nice to take the day to honor that even though we should, and I try to, honor it all year long.  Add to that, I have a WONDERFUL DH who is such a great Dad to our four kiddos.  He makes them laugh like no other, busts his butt to provide them w/ as much as we possibly can, allows me to stay home and raise them, and is very involved.  The BEST gift that Dads can give our kids is TIME, I truly believe that.  So, HAPPY DAD's DAY to all the Dad's out there!

On that same note though, we don't want to leave out those who aren't Dads, so this one's for the DUDES as well!   Introducing...

YOUR MISSION: DADS and DUDES!

A SPECIAL SPECIAL thank you to the men in my life who were SO willing to take on the sample making...and had a blast in the process!  Here are some pics from the big event in the Diedrich abode...

Love this...creating the layout...

This 'hmm" pensive look cracked me UP!

Nick is really diggin' on the concentration of his Daddio!

Look at those two little monkeys LOVING every minute of Dad's big moment :)

Ah this is awesome! I wonder if I can convince my Chris to do this.... maybe a little peer pressure is in order. ;) He'd be awesome at it though he has embellishment phobia, lol. HMM... AWESOME idea!!

You have an amazing family, and a super guy! Not many (probably none) would actually make a card like he did, I am so impressed!
