Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the man of my dreams and to the father of these crazy kids! These kids are the reason we get to celebrate today. They make life so insane sometimes! They are so fun, so annoying, so good, so bad, and most of all SO LOVED!!!

Jason is the best daddy to these babies! He loves them, spends time with them, plays with them, listens to them, encourages them, provides for them, and believes in them.

These crazy kids really are amazing gifts from God and I couldn't be more proud of my little family. I think they are the best people in the world. They make all my days brighter - even when they make me want to pull my hair out - it's living - it's life - it's FUN! It's selfless - which is the hardest part but they are making us better people! What doesn't kill us makes us stronger... RIGHT?!?

Thank you LORD... for Jason - the daddy to our beautiful, wonderful, funloving kids! Thank you for Noah, Anna, Mary, and Isaac. Each child has brought a new and different dynamic to our family - each is unique and each one make us "The Dollars"- as we are so often called! Thank you Lord for the challenge of raising these four and thank you for my helper and my best friend Jason! Your blessing abound! Thank you Lord for knowing the plans you had for us and thank you that they included such great people! My heart rejoices in YOUR gifts oh God!!

Another guy I'm SUPER DUPER thankful for is "GRANDADDY" - my dad. He is a GREAT daddy too! There's nothing he won't do for his daughters and sons! He loves with his acts! He looks out for us, protects us, and provides for us. He always has and he always will. I've been married for 10 years now - and when things go wrong for me the first person I call is Dad. Even Jason has adopted him too! He'll now say..."Let's call your Dad! He'll know what to do!" Thank you so much Dad, for loving me! Thank you for loving Jason as your own - and not to mention ALL the love you give to the kids! Thanks for spending your days watching Mary and then watching Mary and Isaac! You are a lifesaver and have proven that over and over again. I know there are days you wish I would spread my wings and fly - but I know in your heart you love when I come running! I really love you Dad and I truly am thankful for all you do as my Dad!

There's another "Dad" that I'm thankful for! Jason's dad Frank! He is so quiet but loves his kids and grandkids! Noah has wrapped "Pop" around his finger! My kids adore this man! Whatever they want to do - they get to do! There's never a not now or not today. You want to make a fire - it's summer - you can make a fire!

He has amazing talent and works wonders with his hands! This has always REALLY impressed me! He made the kids a swing to swing in when we visit and you would think he hung the moon! They make us stop life and enjoy each other! It's not about the hustle and bustle when we are with them.

Again, I rejoice in the Lord for the gift of these amazing men. Not to mention Noah and Isaac who I pray will be great men of God. I pray they find our Savior Jesus and pursue him ETERNALLY! Thank you Lord for this day to enjoy these men. To praise these men. And most of all to give you the glory for the gift of these men! Not to us, oh Lord, not to us - but to your name be the GLORY! THANK YOU Lord!!
