I'm so thankful for the wonderful dads in my life. I sure miss my daddy but I'm very thankful for all the wonderful memories I have of him. I'm glad Larry's dad is still around and that he lives next door to us. That is truly a blessing to our family. I treasure his life even more since my daddy passed.
I think I married one of the very best daddy's around. Larry has always been so good with kids and has been pretty involved in our children's lives. He has worked hard so that we can play and enjoy nice things. I sure do appreciate him and I'm glad he is the one I had a family with. My boys are some of the best dads ever. I couldn't be more proud of any of them. They are all very involved daddy's and their kids adore them. That goes for my son in laws as well. We just don't have dead beat dad among us. I know my other boys are going to Rock the Roll as well.
The kids came over and we fixed burgers and enjoyed each other. I forgot to take a picture of everyone because of all the commotion. Sometimes I just can't think straight.
This year I wrote individual notes to each of the dads and gave them a pair of socks. Not a big deal but a little recognition to let them know they are doing a fantastic job.
We went to Shannon and Jacob's baby blessing. It was nice and I enjoyed spending some time with them and their families. I was really glad we went even if it meant missing our Stake Conference. We always have Stake Conference on Father's Day and so the daddy's don't really get recognized too much. Being in a ward the dads got candy bars. If we would have stayed for the entire block, Larry would have also got a homemade cinnamon roll. Shannon's ward does it right. Cute little Keane is so cute and little Reese turned 3 yesterday and so she had a cute cake today. It was everything she wanted...white, with donuts, and sprinkles!
I'm most thankful for My Heavenly Father. I feel his love for me, His daughter, every single day. I notice His hand and guidance in my life. He really does want us to all be happy and to return home to Him. He has given us help....it's everywhere. We have each other, our families, the church, scriptures, prayer, good programs and classes. It's simple really....just keep His commandments...the other things I just mentioned help us to do that. I'm thankful for my knowledge of my Heavenly Parents....I can't imagine not having that believe or knowledge. I love knowing I have purpose and worth because I am HIS!
