Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day. We had some gifts that we gave to Donnie, but what was so thoughtful was that Donnie surprised us and gave us each a card. Inside the cards to David, Machella, Elyssa and Joshua, Donnie told them how much he loved them and how they were special and how grateful he was to be their Dad. He also included a little extra "surprise" in the cards for them. The kids loved the cards and leave it to my wonderful husband to think of everyone else on his special day. Later in the day we went to Donnie's families house and had a lot of fun. It is so great to have family close. The kids love going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I am so grateful to be married to someone who truly loves being a Dad and is so involved in his kids' lives and is such a great example to them.

These are all great pictures of your family. It's wonderful to be able to share them on a blog and not have to wait to see photos in person.

I really enjoyed seeing the photos of our trip to SLC. Grandma loves to see all of you!

Much love to all ~ Mom(Grandma Joy)
