Fathers...


"The sacred title of father...is shared with the Almighty".
Pres. Ezra Taft Benson


"God bless you fathers to be equal to your overwhelming responsibilities and to have a father's special caring for each one under your protective arms."
Pres. James E Faust


God bless you, dear fathers. May he bless you with wisdom and judgement, with understanding, with self-discipline and self control, with faith and kindness and love. And may he bless the sons and daughters who have come into your homes, that yours may be a fortifying, strengthening, guiding hand as they walk the treacherous path of life. As the years pass, and they will pass ever so quickly, may you know that peace which passeth all understanding, as you look upon your sons and daughters, who likewise have known that sacred and wonderful peace. Such is my humble prayer."
Pres. Gordon B Hinckley

Happy Fathers Day to all of your wonderful men out there that have affected my life or the lives of my children. God bless you for all that you are and all that you do. I cannot imagine my life without you.

To my husband, the father of my children...oh, how you are loved. I see you in our little ones, the goodness of Carson's heart, the laughter in Lincoln's voice, the deep, dark pool of Drake's eyes. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Father in Heaven for the gift you are to our lives. You are our protector, our support, our guidance, our laughter, our safety, our provider and so much more. You are the father of all fathers, they just don't come any better. I admire so many qualities about you, but the one that stands out the most is the kind of dad you are. There is no doubt in my mind that my children know they are loved, they are adored, they are the single most important thing in your life. Oh, how I love you for that. Thank-you for all that you do, for all that you have given me. Have the happiest of days, we will do our best to spoil you rotten. You deserve it.

All my love. Happy Fathers Day!

Hi Teri!
Somehow I have missed your last THREE posts! How did I do that?

Adorable pictures of baby Drake!! Those are so sweet. He sure is growing fast.

How fun for Carson to be playing Tball. I bet he will have so much fun.

Sweet Father's Day tribute. Your husband sounds like such a great Dad to your boys.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
