Father's Day

Our Daddy Steve

We love our dads! After spending 5 days with girls and women at Girl's Camp, it made me think about how truly I love the men in our lives and am grateful for everything that they do for us.

Family - our families would not be complete without dads, father in laws, brothers, brother in laws, & uncles to call our own. They truly are the head of the family and set the tone for us.
Authority - The Fathers in our family all hold the Priesthood and we are forever grateful for the worthy men who are able to act in God's name to bless the members of our family.
Teacher - Dads have so many opportunities to demonstrate by example and work side by side with each of us - teaching along the way and imparting of their wisdom to all of us.
Husband - I am forever grateful for my husband and for the husbands to the women in our family. Husbands are our best friends, our eternal companions, our favorite date!
Eternal - Our forever families require a mother and father as the head of the family unit and am so blessed to know that our immediate as well as extended families can be together forever.
Reverence - With the role of father comes great responsibility. I appreciate how much my favorite men honor and respect their roll as father as a role ordained of God.

We love you Dad's...Grandpa Bill, Grandpa Mike and Steve!! And all the assorted Uncles...Joe, Brad, Scott, John, Andy, and Carson.

Other Daddies in the family...

We hope Steve had a great father's day! We love him so much. The girls and I made one of his favorites, Peanut Butter Pie to have as dessert with a steak and shrimp dinner. Yum! The girls decided they wanted to get Daddy real GUY stuff and since he has season tickets to ASU football now, we hooked him up with some Sun Devil's gear!

We love you!!!

Found

Yesterday afternoon Steve got a call from a neighbor around the corner who said she was driving home at 11:30pm and had seen a tent on the sidewalk and thought that was strange. (Of course.) She then said this morning on her way out of the neighborhood she saw what may have been a tent behind a fence at a house about 8 houses down, around the corner, and across the street from us.

Can't see it?

Look now.

Sure enough...

The rain fly is a little beaten up (when looking at it in a pile in my newly clean garage) so we will need to set it up to see how the rest of it survived. We may have got it back but we may still need a new one...

In other tent news...

We had a Girl's Camp Shake Down Sleepover and set up a few tents and cooked some delicious food - all in the name of camp certification. How does homemade pizza and chocolate cake inside a hollowed out orange peel sound and Parmesan and cinnamon bread sticks wrapped around a stick?? We love our camp director - no foil dinners, hot dogs, or dutch oven cobbler for us! I love these girls and love the leaders I have the pleasure of serving with in the YW presidency. You ladies rock!

Lost

(because I am not putting my name and number...think of all the weirdos that could call me!)

I heard a little wind and rain and went to check out the backyard to make sure everything was where it should be...when these desert storms pick up we like to make sure everything is pulled under the patio cover and reasonably well secured. Since a tent is not a normal part of my backyard "stuff" I didn't think to check on it earlier! Well, when I checked the back yard after hearing some noise, said tent was GONE! Poof! As in "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" gone! We sure have enjoyed backyard camp-outs and play time in the shade...)

Hope it turns up. We were going to use this one at Girl's Camp as our food stash tent. Buying a new one wasn't exactly in my plan...
