I love the FATHER of my children!

I love this man!  He is a wonderful man and I am so blessed that he is in my life.  I have been blessed with three beautiful children and together we enjoy being our small little happy family.

Before church, we played around taking a few snapshots for Father's Day.

I had the kids all write a note for each year that they have had a dad.  They were to write reasons why they were glad that he was their dad.  So, Addison wrote 16, Avery 11 and Ada 9.  We stuck them in balloons and had them laid out on the floor for him to discover when he woke up on Sunday.  I first had him sitting on them to pop them, but it was rather loud so we let him use a pin.  It was fun to hear all the things that the kids wrote. They sure do love their dad.

After he read all their notes, they dog-piled on him for one big Father's Day hug.
