First off, I want to take a minute to share how blessed I am to have such wonderful men in my life. My dad, he is an amazing man who showed me what it takes to be a good husband and father. I couldn't have asked for any better parents, and all my life I have been blessed by the wonderful example of my father. I can't say enough amazing things about my dad, my sisters and I are the luckiest children in the world to have had such a loving, hard-working father. Next, my father-in-law, Bud. Words can't describe the love and generosity this man has to offer. I am probably one of the few people who can say how truly grateful I am for my in-laws, I wouldn't have hand-picked any others! Bud, thank you for your example, and for raising such a wonderful family. That leads me to Ben, who I can't say enough about. My husband, who goes out of his way to make sure Avery and I are safe and healthy. On a daily basis, he goes to work so I have the opportunity to stay home with our daughter, and for that, I will forever be grateful. He is a better dad than I ever could have imagined, and despite the crazy outfits he puts together and the lack of understanding why she needs a bath everyday, Ben would give the world for his beautiful little girl. Thank you to all the men and dads who sacrifice everyday for their families, we appreciate you and I pray God's blessing in your lives!
Happy Father's Day!
Despite Father's Day being rather quiet this year, we had a wonderful day yesterday! We took Ben to breakfast before church. This was a special event considering we normally have a hard time getting to church on time anyway! The rest of the day was spent playing around the house and going to the park. And then we had "Man's Dinner"... steak, twice baked potatoes, green beans, and chocolate cake. (I have a feeling the indigestion I am experiencing, may be due to that!)
Avery loves helping Daddy in the garage. While I cooked dinner she helped him pump up his football and basketball and then they went to the park and played some basketball. She reminds me so much of me and my dad. I would have picked helping my dad in the garage any day over being inside!

Ok lady, you totally made me cry with the sweet sentiments on the Dads in your life! It's such a blessing to have the "few good men" in our lives, huh?:) I just feel like I need to tell you what an amazing woman you've grown into Kristen! I appreciate coming on here and reading about you and your family and seeing how much you've grown as a wife, mama, and woman in general! You're beutiful inside and out and I'm so happy to know you!! Love you bunches!!!
Thanks hun. You're not so bad yourself you know? I love you dearly. Thanks for one great marriage and the sacrifices that you make. Your job as a stay at home mom is small to some. But I know that it is because of your choice to take on this never ending task that provides so much stability to our family...and to that, I am eternally blessed and grateful for your dedication and Love!
