Happy Fathers Day, Dads. You are super important in helping us moms raise our kids!

Happy Fathers Day!

Corey and I took a parenting class on raising boys. We learned about the importance of fathers and it was absolutely incredible how important they are. If it wasn't so late I'd spend more time telling you all about it. It is so interesting.

I have been preparing to go to girl's camp for church with my girls and it is keeping me busy! That and summer and t-ball. Phew! So that is why my blogging has diminished so much. Don't give up on me. Ill be back.

But I did want to say, Happy Father's Day to my sweet daddy.

Great listener, Super smart, Funny, Friend. Love you!

And Happy Father's Day to my sweet Father in law, Bruce.

The kids sure have missed out on you. They missed out on going to the dump, the hills, and your love.

And Happy Fathers Day to my sweet second Father in law, Roger.

You sure made Carolyn happy. You were a great grandpa. We were so sad to see you go.

And Happy Fathers Day to my husband.

I cannot thank you enough for supporting me in being a stay at home mom. It was my biggest wish as a mom and you let it be possible. I love you.

Corey and his trick that he did with all of our kids...

Rhett

This is what we gave him for Father's Day. A frame displaying his trick with each kid. It was going to be great but when I ripped the frame out of the box I discovered two extra frames attached that were hidden in packaging. Now I have to put a quote or something in there. Oh well. He liked it.

Emily said...: I was looking at the picture before I finished reading the quote and I was trying to figure out why you put those other two pictures in. I thought,'Did Susan have blond hair once upon a time?':); June 27, 2010 at 8:04 PM

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time. The women of God know this. --Neal A. Maxwell

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
