Father's Day 2012


We love this time of year, minus the heat. It's a time of playing and just spending time together as a family. I couldn't ask for anything better or more fulfilling. Here are some pictures from Father's Day. It was a great Day. We also went to Tim's parents house but I couldn't get any pictures there because my indoor flash on my camera is broken. Great, great day!!

Happy Happy Father's Day!

She's not holding up the peace sign. She's saying "I'm 2 years old".

Jack playing with sticks

Grandad and Daddy cleaning Jackson's knees. He fell and got 2 booboos. This is nothing new-that kid is all scraped up. 

Joe and Summer pausing so I can snap a picture.

MG and Jackson love playing in the garden and getting dirty.

Makayla adores her Granny (actually her Great Granny) and I think the opposite is just as true.

Here's Granny getting a little sugar from Jack. She's holding the flower he brought her from the garden.

MG playing with Dakota

Happy Father's Day to my Dad! You've taught me the right things in life, and I love you so much for it!

Happy Father's Day to Tim! You're an awesome daddy to the kids! (and an amazing husband)

Father's Day Prayer
Lord, please bless our fathers,
these men who mean so much to us,
who are greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless them for having the courage
to do what's necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry;
and bless them for pushing us to do our best,
even when they just want to love us.
Bless our fathers for being our protectors,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our fathers for quietly making a living
to provide for those they love most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and other necessary and not so necessary material things,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that they could have spent on themselves.
Bless our fathers, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmates and our friends.
Bless them for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us...until it's time to let us go.
Lord, bless these men we look up to,
our role models, our heroes,
our fathers.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
