Even thought today is Father's Day, we celebrated it with my dad yesterday. His work schedule made it impossible for us to visit him today. I was kind of glad in a way, so that I didn't have to worry about splitting time between him and Dan. It worked out great!! We had a BBQ with a salad, 7-layer dip and chips. Towards the end of dinner while we were all just sitting at the table visiting, Jaxson decides to come in from outside stands at the end of the table by Kisty and pukes! Disgusting, I know. We all just sat there in amazement, because we didn't know when it was going to stop. Seriously, it just kept coming and coming and coming. Like someone turned on the faucet and ran it dry. He gets worked up sometimes and does that. It seriously felt like time was frozen, except for him. Once he was done Dan ran into the front room so that he wouldn't gag. Sheena and I ran outside. I ran to make sure Mayci didn't come in and walk through it. I think Sheena ran so that she wouldn't puke:) As we're playing outside waiting for the mess to get cleaned up I hear Dan yell from the window to get Mayci. Apparently she had pooped so severely that It was running down her leg, and in the process she had touched it. So on top of puke we had a nasty, disgusting messy poopy diaper of Mayci's that needed changing. We couldn't go inside, so Dan went around the front to bring me her bag. She didn't want to let her butt touch the grass while we were changing her diaper, but that's what you get given the circumstances. Kisty said we should have hosed her off with the freezing water and then maybe she wouldn't do it again;) Once everything and everyone got cleaned up, we headed in to relax. Dad and I had a brilliant idea to bake cookies on the grill. We didn't want to heat up the already hot house with the oven. Our first pan pretty much melted, flat as flat. Our second pan looked good on top, but were completely burnt on the bottom. Our last and best pan of all baked perfect!! We had a good time just laughing as we did it. We put all the burnt ones on a plate and told the kids that they could come up and eat as many cookies as they wanted. So they hustled upstairs, grabbed a cookie and it didn't take long before they had disgusting looks on their faces while they're spitting the cookie out. It was so hilarious. Dad and I thought we were pretty funny:) We can now say that we're expert cookie bakers on the grill!! It was definitely a Flint party to remember:)

I LOVE this man so very much!!! He is truly my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him in my life. He's such a hard worker and will do anything for me or his kids. I'm so thankful to have a day like today to celebrate all Dad's do. I love you Dan Thornton!!


This was Dan's gift. We filled three of his bottles with sunflower seeds, pretzel m&m's, and Charleston chews.

Our display of burnt cookies. These are all burnt!! From the top they look delicious. I had to turn a couple over so you could get the whole effect.

This one's my daddy's. He had the same things filled except instead of Charleston chews, he had Swedish Fish.
My friend Randi and I made these adorable gifts for the wonderful men in our lives. We're pretty proud with how they turned out. Plus the shirt and tie card was icing on the cake. We're pretty crafty. Probably the most craftiest people ever..............................NOT!! We sure had fun doing it:)
