Father's

What a wonderful blessing to have so any amazing examples of Father's in my life- beginning with my own Dad. Even now, as a grown woman, he still takes care of me. I can always count on him, along with my mom, to help my little family. While my parents were here this week my dad assembled 15 office chairs to go in one of the new dental clinics. Ethan and grandpa had some bonding time in the garage doing "man's work" :).

Ella was very proud to have grandpa here this week so she could show him how well she is doing at horse lessons!

One afternoon, my mom and I ran to the dollar store and Wal-mart. Cannon had just fallen asleep, so we said we would be back in less than one hour with grandpa babysitting. We told my dad to call us as soon as he woke up and we'd be home in less than five minutes (since Cannon has been running a fever and throwing up, we didn't want to leave my dad alone for too long). When my mom and I returned, an hour later, we saw Cannon snuggled up on my dad's tummy and they were both napping together. I guess Cannon woke up 15 minutes after we left. Thanks, Dad!

My children's father is the best they could ask for. He is always snuggling them, wrestling with them, playing with them and teaching them how to be more responsible. Ethan loves that Kent is his basketball coach. Ella thinks it's funny that she and her dad have a little competition about who is cuter between the two. Cannon knows that his Daddy is always there to make things better. I am thankful that my children feel love and have an example to look up to. I chose to post pictures that show the pictures that would have special meaning for Kent (and his kids).

The kids LOVE the fact that Kent is so crazy!!

Kent's dad is one of the greatest men I know. I am thankful for the time we were able to spend living near to them in Florida during dental school. My love for him grew and continues to this day. I know Kent looks up to his father so much and a lot of his strong qualities are those he learned from his dad. While we were at the hospital in Seattle last December for Cannon's first surgery, we were blessed to have George and Laura there to help us. Thank you all for being true Father's in every sense of the word. We are lucky to have you in our lives. Happy Father's Day!

When George and Laura were visiting, they went to Ethan's school for lunch. Ethan convinced them to stay for recess. George set up a game of football and was telling them all about the Florida Gators. He even taught the group of girls how to do the cheerleading chants. It was a lot of fun.
The grandkids love riding in the back of Papa's truck, looking for critters and snakes on the road. We love to hear stories of gators and Papa never fails to tell the best stories. Don't mind Ella's hair!

Thank you all for being true Father's in every sense of the word. We are lucky to have you in our lives. Happy Father's Day!
