Three Best Fathers I Know/And Fathers Day Fun.

Ralph couldnt have made his hamburger any bigger if he had tried too.
Corys very shy!!! NOT! Not sure what this picture is about!! Maybe he was having a bad hair day!
Leland and carole, leland in the high chair i picked up for our house at the yard sale saturday.
Leland, Hes going to be six months old in a few days. Its flown by.
Jay, Em, Lee and Hayley in the background.

Just wanted to give a shout out to three wonderful fathers. My own father of course. He has always been there for me though anything in my life and has stood by me in more ways then i could ever say. He was very much a hands on father when i was a child, he was only 20 when i was born and though nothing of playing dolls with me and even knitting at one point when i was upset my dolls had no clothes!! He didnt know how to knit but learnt in order to help my dolls, lol. How many fathers would do that? He would sit though countless hours of school programs, my swimming events and anything else i was involved in. That was in the time when fathers didnt do that, but he always did. He has also been a hands on grandad and would always go play basketball and many other things with the grandkids. When lee had many doctor apps he came with me, when cory had open heart surgery he flew out here to be with me. What more can i say.
The second father is ralph of course, he has also been very hands on with our kids and cannot count the hours hes sat though dance recitals, dance comps and every event all our kids have been involved in. Its great to have a father that does that with girly stuff and not just the boys stuff. The last one is my son lee who celebrated his first fathers day today. He is turning out to be an amazing father. Lelands face just lights up when he sees his daddy. I know he also will be a hands on father. Theres nothing better then seeing your child becomming a great father. All in all we had a wonderful fathers day. I got to speak to my dad on the phone for a nice chat. All our kids came over other then Heather whos working at Lake Powell but she of course did call her dad for a long chat also.
Im very grateful for the three wonderful father figures in my life, our lifes have been so blessed because of them and the great example they are to us all. Yes a certain amount of respect is always there for all fathers but the deeper respect comes from the great example they set and these three have really earned it. Dad, Ralph and Lee, thanks for everything you do. Love you tons.
