Father's Day

Fathers Day was a very relaxing day...just the way Justin wanted it to be!
We spent Fathers Day in NM with Justins family. Luke woke us up bright&early and he gave Justin his fathers day present! He made him a picture frame with his feet in paint. Then we found a sweet poem about Fathers and put it in the middle. I love doing crafts with Luke. He loves to put his hands and feet in the paint and he really loves markers. His laughs when he sees it go on paper and realizes he is the one who did it. Its really cute! I bought him a big cherry wood fabric pin board to put Lukes art work on in his office. It was the perfect gift for Justin- he LOVED it! (He also got a very much needed nap!) We went to church, ate bar-b-q and swam all afternoon. It was a great day!!!

Justin is an amazing father...he is EVERYTHING i knew he would be. He really makes life so easy for me and Luke. He does everything he can to give us anything and everything we need or want and I respect him for that. Above everything else, he is my very best friend in life. And it has been the best experience to watch Luke and him becoming best friends too. They are already such a Father/Son duo lol! I love cooking dinner and hear them wrestling or laughing or making forts in the living room floor. It has been really hard but I have had to let go of keeping the house perfectly spotless so my boys can have fun and play lol. This past 6 months have been so hard on Justin. His knee bone broke off and he has had 2 surgeries in 6 months. The last one he had in March- they drilled out part of his hipbone to replace the hole in his knee. He has been completely unable to walk until a couple of weeks ago. He has been in wheel chairs and crutches and in the hospital or doctors office. And he went through all of that while still working. He is a supervisor and probably one the best bosses anyone could ask for. He works really hard and he still went everyday so his employees wouldn't have to work extra hours. It was hard on him and his body but he is so tough. And he has still been taking care of his family too. I have had to step in and do the yard&trash and I am glad that is over with lol. But it was definitely a team work effort for our family. But Justin is back to walking again now! YAY! He is still in lots of pain and still lots of swelling in his hip&knee but he gets to walk with Luke and wrestle again and play outside. After everything he has been through he deserved to have a good day and I am so glad he got it!

&& to my dad!::

Just like my card said to you...you are one of the greatest men I have ever known or will ever know. You make me so proud...hands down you are the hardest working person I have ever met. (That is why you have been so successful!) Thanks for the life you have given me. And thank you for spoiling your grandson with more toys than he needs and all the love in the world!
