Happy Father's Day

We spent Father's Day camping at Lake Cascade. It was a wonderful, albeit rainy weekend. If it weren't for mom and dad's new camping trailer we would have packed up our tent and headed home early. But since we had somewhere to hang out while it rained we stayed and enjoyed ever moment. My parents, Cindy and Travis and our family went. Richard and the kids swam the first evening we arrived (while I looked on) and it ended up being the only opportunity they had. We rode bikes, cheered on triathletes, and celebrated all things dad!! Since we weren't going to be at our ward on Sunday to see Sarah sing we practiced our own performance for Richard and unlike the primary singing we were able to video it; that's a plus, I'd say. (if i can ever get the video to upload, you'll get to see it...cross your fingers cuz it's cute!!)

Dad (Larry)--You have always been the most supportive father and I am so lucky to call you mine. I appreciate that growing up and even now, you put us first. Thank you for teaching me all you did. Thank you for taking us fun places and teaching me to enjoy so many different things. I am one lucky girl!!

Richard--You know this, but I could not do this without you! You are a wonderful father and would do anything for your kids and me. Actually, if I think about it, you ARE doing that now. Did you ever imagine yourself back in school at 43?! Thanks for doing what you have to in order to best take care of us. You make us proud. You spend every free moment playing with or reading to our children. You bake with Sarah and teach her all you know. You build sandboxes and paint play tables. You pull bike trailers miles and miles and miles and encourage Sarah while she rides her own. You teach Sarah and Luke to love the scriptures and pray over all things. We are so fortunate! You were worth the wait!! WE LOVE YOU RICHARD!!
