Jun. 22, 2009 - ~Fathers Day Weekend
Fathers day weekend was, and is always, so memorable. Daddy is so good to all of us and we hardly need an excuse to bless him, but it's always fun putting forth a little extra effort on this day. We decided to stay home this year and focus on Daddy all weekend long.
Sunday was the culmination of the weekends events. Complete with homemade spaghetti and meatballs, cheesecake, and cards and gift. The children made paper daisy flowers in a vase and a BIG Fathers day card. Then, at gift time, the real fun began.

This year Daddy received a helicopter for Fathers day. This was certainly one of the highlights of the weekend. We had so much fun and laughed so hard because of that little copter! And I have a TON of photos that I'm going to upload for our family book this year. So many memories.....
On a serious note though..... I just want to say Happy Fathers day to my sweet heart. You're not here in theory. You're here for us. You are so incredibly teachable, always looking for ways you can improve as a father and husband. In my eyes you're so close to perfect. We often talk of how the Lord knew what each of us needed in a spouse. And how He has developed those traits in us.
As a Father I cannot think of a better one (other than our Heavenly Father). You have their hearts and it seems to come so easy for you. I think that is because it's obvious that you love them so much. Again - not in theory. Your love is constantly seen and worked out on a daily basis. You are their confidant and their protector. You are there when they are sick and when they laugh (usually the one that causes them to laugh!). You are strong - yet so very, very soft....telling them how tough they are, and kissing their boo-boos too. You have no hobbies other than being a husband and a father. This is your hobby.... and you should get an award!
Honey, so many men are confused at what it means to be a leader. It seems they cannot get it right and it's so hard for them to find the right balance in things. You lead us by your example. Your example wews us to follow. I know you're not perfect. But my goodness....you are so incredibly sweet and good to us! You make us want to bless you. You make us want to figure out ways to make you happier. It's your goodness to us! And God's goodness to us!
We love you so very much and want to thank you for all you do and all you are. Thank you and Happy (day after) Fathers day
