Why do we celebrate Father's Day?

 Why do we celebrate Father's Day? Because we can!!!! and we should! I am so very thankful that my children have the best father and both of their grandfather's and my married children have their father in laws to honor as well.... that I thought I should share it with you!

 Jim is a great beach dad!!! even in the "early years" as we like to call them!!!

even when he challenges Miller and his friends in push-ups!!! 

he is really a great "Poppy" as well!!!!

 I guess he learned it from Pappy!! and Papa!!! ( wow!! alot of "P" names in this family!

He also loves his "baby girl"....we won't even go there for fear of tears at this point!!!!

 but he also taught Miller to love his sister! ha ha!! Miller loved his sister with no help from us!!!

 this is one of my favorites!!! Picking up the wedding dress and tux at the Tutwiler Hotel!!! What a fun memory!!!

I've always treasured the bond between Holly and JIm!! It's so special!!!! only to be rivaled by her brothers!!!
 and I feel sure Mitch will love his precious daughter , Layton in exactly the same way!!

 He certainly loves to give gifts to his children...but I know from 28 years of marriage not one tangible gift measures up to the gifts of wisdom he has taught them by example....

 You are a hard man to live up to, Jim!!!!

 this "Dorothy" sure enjoyed seeing Poppy this past Halloween night!!!

 I am very blessed to have you as the father of my children...and the grandfather to many in the future...?

 wow...didn't mean to bring up more grandchildren at this point in your tribute!! ha ha!! we shall see...we shall see...but for now! God, the Author of Life has granted us with these!!! Special moments with each of your children....your two sons....your angel of a daughter....your precious daughter and son in law which I know you think of as your children...as do I!!!!

Brad....such a blessing!!!

Britney...what a blessing!!

I can't even let myself go into the unknown just yet when I think of having another addition to our family!!! Let's just enjoy Miller right where he is at this point in his young life! He is such a blessing!!!

 God blessed you with such great role models!!! Your incredible father!!! My incredible father!!!! WOW!! Let's be forever grateful and thankful!!!!

 I have to say Happy Father's Day to my dad at this point!!! Thank you for loving me through it all!! Even when I didn't deserve it! ( which really wasn't that often!! )

Thank you Mom for loving my husband and guiding us along all this while!!! 28 years this August!!

       Thank you to both sets of our parents! We are so very blessed by your love, your wisdom and your guidance! Words cannot express to you how very much we love you and how we wish the best Father's Day of all to Tom and Wayne!!!!                                                                 

I've told my children since birth that they have the best father on the face of the earth! and they do!!! Jim is truly the best father any child could ever want as well as being the best husband any girl could ever dream of! He takes care of my every need...he STRIVES to take care of my "wants and needs" whatever that might be! most of them are very frivolous! Mostly, he loves the Lord with all of his heart...he has a father that loves the Lord with all of his heart.... he has a father in law that loves the Lord with all of his heart....and he trusts in his Heavenly Father with all of his heart! My prayer is that my children's children can also repeat this post....I do believe that God blesses the heart of a child through a father that seeks to serve and love the Lord.

Thank you, Jim....
