What a joy it is to see your children giving your husband the cute little letters they made and singing to him at church. I am so glad I have the husband I do and that God has granted us this time together on earth. During the Sacrament meeting talks I couldn't help but be grateful I had a dad who helped me feel my Heavenly Father loved me. The most important part of my testimony is that God is perfect, knows everything, and cares about me.
It was also really fun for all of us to head over to my parents house and surprise my dad with his present. His lawn mower had died and he had asked to borrow ours again. Dan and I had considered buying a new one for ourselves for weeks, so we have our old one to him and then my husband's Father's Day present was to buy the Honda he had been eyeing. My dad was so surprised! It's fun to make someone happy like that. And the Honda does such a better job on our fescue in our south facing back yard. Before I felt like I was trying to mow hay every week and now it's a breeze.
When we bought the lawn mower we happened to see something I thought would be perfect for my father-in-law. We would be camping with them the next week so could deliver it in person and see him use it right away. It's the perfect camping chair for a man who is really tall. As it turns out, it was the same price as our old lawn mower when we bought it at a garage sale years ago. That's fair! I adore my father-in-law and am happy as a clam he's willing to go camping with us.
We were only home about a week from California before we headed out to go camping. At least this was only an hour drive! We sure did have a lot of fun and get a lot done in the one week we had. We had friends over to play, went to other people's houses to play, attended a good-bye party for yet one more friend who is moving away, got K, D, M and my teeth checked, got D, M, N, and my hair cut, and a friend took family pictures for us for free as she tries to get her own photography business started.
My parents also came over to make sure D had the birthday cake he wanted (a blue lego) and the presents they had for him. We also got everything ready for the arrival of more critters to our home. But that's for another blog post.
Here is a picture of his birthday interview for the year. We are so grateful to have this boy in our family! I just can't imagine my world without my favorite boy in it.
Tiffany's pictures turned out really cute but I liked these ones Hubby took as well.
