My Two Favorite Dads

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! This handsome fella is my amazing Dad! Here he is holding Tyler when Ty first came home from the hospital. My Dad is the absolute greatest- he's funny and easy to talk to, he's patient and kind. I love him SO much! He's ALWAYS there when I need him- even when it's a middle of the night phone call to ask a medical question about one of the kids....or James...or me! ha ha :-) Every time he comes to visit he manages to do some major upgrading in our house- whether it be to work with James to put up the frame for our porch, add wiring for new phone jacks, add new electrical outlets, lights, fix our door, show me how to fill our planters, etc. etc. Even with all the "To Do" list cross offs, he still has time to play any and every game Logan & Tyler come up with. He makes the BEST steaks and fish. Speaking of fish, he's SO much fun to go fishing with- even if we spend more time getting my lure unstuck from the trees or bog than we do catching fish... ha ha. The boys sure love their Papa, and I sure love my Dad! :-) I always wanted to marry someone just like him...
And I DID! :-) Here's my hottie James with Logan and Tyler. James is the best hubby, and an awesome Dad! He works hard to teach the boys how to be gentlemen, and if they follow his example I'm sure they'll do just fine. James can do anything with cords (seriously- you should see what he can do- and he has a cord for everything!!! Ex: want to watch 'youtube' on widescreen TV? No prob! James'll hook it up!) He is also often 'on call' for family computer trouble. :-) Today the boys were both running around in (well, "TRYING to run around in" is more like it) James' work boots because they 'missed their Daddy and didn't miss him as much if they were pretending to be him.' (James was helping out with the Scout Troop for the past couple of days on a camp out- he was even on TV holding the flag with the scouts at the NASCAR race!) He is always willing to serve, and does it often. He always calls throughout his day to make sure the boys & I know he's thinking about us and to tell us he loves us. What a great guy. I sure love you Honey! Thanks for blessing me with 3 beautiful boys and a gorgeous (have you SEEN her ultrasounds? ha ha) baby girl! :-) I couldn't imagine life without you, Baby!

To all you other Daddy's....HAPPY FATHER"S DAY!
