wanting for nothing

There is a song that our boys have learned that sums up exactly how they feel about their Dad.

My Daddy is my favorite pal and he helps me everyday.

It's plain to see, I want to be like him in every way.

He teaches me that honesty is best in all I do.

I'm very glad that he's my Dad,

and I know he loves me too.

I couldn't have imagined it being this good. I married a man who knows what his most important investments are on this earth and treats them as such. I know we will always be taken care of physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. So he of course got some tokens of our love and appreciation.

Dad was treated to a box full of surprises--watches with newly replaced batteries, cookies, and other treats. He has been talking about getting a family tent for a while and I finally settled on this 8 man tent that was a killer deal for Father's Day. So I guess a little something for him and a little something for all of us. Everyone wins!After church we went to Tooele to be with all of the Dad's in our lives. I don't think my boys could be more blessed. I think Mark summed it up perfectly shortly after we found out just how close we could have been to losing Ryan last year. He said to Ryan "You know that if anything ever happened to you your wife and your boys would want for nothing." I seriously can't imagine our lives without them in it. There isn't anyone that could fill the void of not having my own father here any better than my father-in-law. He takes a very involved concern in our lives and in teaching our boys to be helpful and grateful...as do their uncles.
