Happy Father's Day! 2013

Here's to Tom, a wonderful father of five!

On Father's Day we went out to eat and after the meal we presented our Daddy with a homemade card and gifts.

This "Dad's Saving Box" was the boys' idea.  Because Dad works hard to provide 

for them, they wanted to save up and give HIM some money for a change! 

We also gave him some "dad" t-shirts we thought he'd like!

We appreciate all that our Daddy does for us.  He's a dad who....

reads the scriptures to his family daily

teaches his daughter how to operate the ride-on mower

takes his children out with him in the mornings to place gospel packets on doors

works hard to pay for swimming lessons

and music lessons

and laptops to do school work on (no internet!)

takes his children to coin shows

and Cabela's

and golfing

and to local events to hand out gospel tracts

then out for treats afterwards

gives his children rides in the bed of his pick up 

(slowly up the alley behind our house)

involves his children in work projects 

(no matter what faces they make!)

teaches his children about saving and investing by requiring them to 

place half of all their earnings and gift money into brokerage accounts

(Biggest Brother turned our chore board into a stock production chart!)

runs 5Ks and 8Ks to stay in shape

and sometimes takes his baby on his daily runs

which all means he's a dad who needs a nap now and then!
