Happy Father's Day

Father's Day is the day we get to honor the men in our lives who have made a great influence on us. I miss my own father, as do many others. Above all things he was a real "daddy", a great scholar of the scriptures, and loved us; my mother, sister, brothers, and me. He sacrificed for his family. We are his priceless possessions.It is also a time to pause and reflect about Keith. He is my sweetheart and a wonderful dad. He works hard to provide for us. One of the most touching things about Keith is that his prayers always include our children, their spouses, and our grandchildren. He includes specific items unique to each one he prays for. He enjoys preparing for family get-togethers, and always looks for ways to make it more comfortable for all. He always looks forward to playing with the grandkids.

It is great to see the wonderful blogs that the girls have done to honor their husbands for Father's Day! Sarah posted pictures of David with a great tie that Zach, Cannon, and Elliot made for him. We all know it is the mother's work and planning that pulls such a thing together. Laura posted pictures of Arie with Dirk. Emma posted pictures of Jon with the Cirrus and Crimsel. Keith and I hosted the Father's Day/June Birthday BBQ at our home again this year. He received flamingos and lined the walk path with them. It made it festive. Seems that all had a great time.
