Father's Day 2009! You have a dad who loves and cherishes each one of you! When you were little we could hear the old VW bug coming down the street about a half a mile away. You kids would meet him at the kitchen door, he would drop his brief case, pull off his shoes and the four of you would tumble across the living room floor like bear cubs! It was my favorite part of the day to watch. Dad hated to leave for work in the morning if you were up, because it was always more fun to play than go to work. You three didn't help either, you would beg him to stay home. So we started keeping you up later at night (until you started in school), so that you would sleep later and he could leave for work without being begged to stay home. Saturday was our favorite day, and Monday was our favorite evening. We would work together and play together on Saturday, and Monday for home evening, we would pray, study the scriptures, sing songs till we were hoarse, and then play games. I couldn't have asked for a better dad for my children! He was/is the BEST!! And now he is great friend and Dad!

great pictures mom; we certainly love our Dad-Zac
Great post Mums! And I love all the pictures-they really show how much fun he has with his kids and grand-kids. We are sure all blessed to have him as our Dad and Pa!
that's really funny that you guys kept us up later! i don't remember that. I'm surprised you didn't tell him to change his pants before he rolled around with us :P.
That last picture brings back so many memories. that old football was the best. I still remember many of the plays that we made up using the trees and bushes as blockers! love you mums and tunes
