"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Man, something happened with the picture uploading, I am missing half of the pictures.. I will have to add those later.  Father's day was a great day this year!!  We had fun spoiling Nate with gifts and our traditional shirts.  The kids still wouldn't let me nix that one.  Kinda cute.  I love that they are as sentimental as me sometimes :).  Nate sure has a lot of clothes though, and he really doesn't need more shirts :).  It's all good though.  I wish I had the pic of the kids wearing them that morning before we took his breakfast up to him. We all ate with him, in Mom and Dad's bed :).  Then he opened up his presents and then we got ready for church.  I love how the kids like to spoil him.  Makes me happy.  They sang to him in Sacrament meeting and even cute little Erika braved it out and went up there!!  I was so surprised/happy/proud of her!!  She had me pretty worried before they started though, head down and sobbing for the first minute... luckily she got into it :).  It was cute to see her go up there though.  This is a HUGE step for her :).  She does not do that kind of stuff yet.  
The dads were deprived of a Dad gift this year.. not sure why, but whatever... 
Then we came home and sat around for most of the afternoon :).  I made some yummy dinner and then we went up to my Dad's to do our traditional Kiss song.  
Steve went all out and bought squirt guns, silly string along with a big bag of kisses!  This was a fun change to the old routine.  
I wish the Dads hadn't seen them beforehand though, they knew what was coming.  Here's the before:


And here's the after.  Notice Brent is not there- he actually flew OVER the couch halfway through the song :).  Funny boy.  I can't believe how messy this all was!!  


poor dads.  I wonder if my Mom knew it would come to this when she started this idea.  Fun that we've carried it on though- I like it :).  
The kids all ran around squirting each other and of course Grandpa's house for about a half hour.  
It was a fun visit.  We all had a good time.  
I think Nate enjoyed his day.  I hope he did.  
Happy Father's Day!
