Daddy's Day

Love this guy to pieces! I am so thankful that my kids get to have a daddy like him. I feel like the Alleluia Chorus sounds each time he walks into the door at the end of each day and we all come running to him (me a little more haggard than the rest). He makes life so splendid, and I try not to think about what life would be like without him. He is so fun and silly, but also the patriarch of our home and leads us with love and devotion. He is one of the most positive and friendly people I've ever met, and that is such an example to me. He loves to serve and help people and most importantly, he loves to serve us, his family. I am so thankful for the respect and love he shows me as our children's mother. If they say something naughty, he will say, "You do not talk to my wife and your mother that way" and sometimes when I'm just walking around the house, he'll say, "Doesn't your mommy look pretty today?". The best is when he is kissing me at the end of the day and the kids want his attention, he will say, "Just a minute, I'm not done kissing mommy yet." He makes us all feel secure and safe and loved. We love you Daddy!

A Happy Father's Day to Steve. Thanks Steve for taking such care of our daughter and grandchildren. We love you and are thankful for you. I will echo the sentiment of you being a pretty fine Daddy.

Love, Mom Tanner

Lisa, Thank you so much for watching the house for us! We really appreciate it! Oh, and remember your post on High G...Well I tried it the other day...worked wonders!!! Instead of me loosing it and screaming I pulled a High G ( Or whatever High G is for me!) and Cameron looked at me like I was crazy and walked away, Kauner immediately stopped throwing his fit, looked at me like I was crazy and said "What was that Mommy?" Thanks for the tip!
