Happy Father's Day...ummm...a little late...

Happy Father's day! Okay, so I realize I am way late on this post...I've been rather busy the last few days, and am finally getting to it :) We had a great Father's day. I asked Edgar what he wanted to do, and he said he wanted to go over to his Grandfather's house for lunch and be with his family. His dad was going to be there too, so it was perfect. Because Krista and Eliud were out of town, we have plans to get together with the whole family this coming Sunday to celebrate our dads as a family :) I got up at 5 and turned the crock pot on (then promptly went back to bed until 7), then we went to church, came home, packed the car with all the food, and started driving to Abuelo's. Then, this happened... This is Edgar saying 'Are you really taking my picture changing a tire?!' Of course I am! Why else do I carry my camera with me everywhere I go?

He quickly changed the tire (without injuring himself, I might add...)

while Eli and I stayed in the air conditioned car.

Side note...notice Eli's new car seat? After much frustration, we finally have it installed. We had to put it in the middle, which makes it a little harder to get him in and out, but I am getting used to it. He seems to really like it, and is often heard giggling at himself in the mirror. We have plans to keep him in it until the recommended 35 lbs...but we'll see...
We finally arrived at Abuelo's house, and had a nice surprise. Mom had just arrived back from her missions trip to Peru that morning, but we didn't expect to see her-we figured she would be exhausted, and sleeping. But she was there! We were so excited to see her and hear some of her stories from her trip.

Side note #2...she was talking to Edgar's grandfather, and telling him a story. I have VERY limited understanding of spanish. VERY limited...and I was trying to get the jist of the story she was telling. My eyes kept getting wider as she was very obviously talking about a head being choped off. What kind of missions trip was this?! To my relief (sort of...) she was just talking about an aligator they killed while aligator hunting. Wait a second...ALIGATOR HUNTING?!

We ate lunch together, and then Eric & Leilani showed up too. Leilani and I talked quite a bit about her baby-she's doing really well (she's pregnant). I'm quite impressed with how much exercise she is doing... :)

We got back home and hung out as a family for the rest of the evening. Here's the happy daddy :)

And a rare picture of mommy with Eli.

Hopefully Edgar had a good Father's day. He CERTAINLY deserves it! He's a great dad, and wonderful husband. I love how he plays with Eli. As soon as he gets home from work he's right there on the floor with Eli playing with him until bedtime. I am amazed at how much energy he (usually...) has after a LONG day at work and how willing he is to help me out. I couldn't ask for more!
