happy father's day

mike and the kids playing (check out carter's face)

happy fathers day mike-

i love these pictures of mike goofing off with the kids. mike is such a fun dad and is always the initiator of slumber parties, wrestling matches, dogpiles, making cookies, reading scriptures and other fun stuff. the kids get so excited when they hear his keys in the door and his footsteps coming up the stairs after work. he is a playful dad and i'm so glad he is such a great father to our 3 children.

mike reads to them practically every night and the kids really enjoy this special time with their dad. mike is also a master rapper (for those of you who don't know) and is always making us laugh with his "raps" about us or his opera music in the car. he never fails to get a smile out of one of us even if we are in a sour mood and i am so thankful for his patience and his love for each of the kids and for me...a wrestling match where we all got dressed up and then wrestled

goofing with carter and syd

i don't know if mike likes this picture or not, but it is a perfect capture of how he never fails to make me laugh

happy fathers day mike and a happy fathers day to my dad, grandpa b, bill, and roger
