Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!!
We tried to make Jordan's Father's day special. I made him breakfast before church. The kids made a sign for him. I got him a few gifts. The kids made a golf course through the house and I helped draw the layout. Jayla and Jordan had fun watching dad play. Taliyah's gift was that she let us take a nap!! Dad got to choose his favorite meal, Fillet Mignon, I wish that I could say that I made it but he cooked the steak, he makes the BEST steak! And for dessert I took us back to our Rexburg days. At a restaurant there we would get a "cookie monster" A pan filled with cookie dough, served warm with ice cream and toppings. Somehow we managed to eat the whole thing. Overall I think it was a good day. I love my husband, he's such a great Dad!!

I'm also so thankful for my own Dad. It's been a year since I've seen him and I miss him so much. He was such a good father. I remember many late night talks, asking him first because I knew he would say yes, nachos and X-files, doing science experiments, the spankings that hurt him more than me (literally), the look in his eyes when he really got mad, riding on his shoulders, how proud he was when I would score a goal, and so many more. My Dad was a good example of what I wanted to find in a husband. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
My Daddy!!
