Father's Day

I was going brag about Mike and all the wonderful things he does for our family and what a wonderful Father he is to Jers and Phe. When I told him about what I was going to say he said " you know you should put all of your complaints about me on there instead" So with his permission I will say all the things I complain about instead.

1. He leaves his dirty socks everywhere. ( Like I want to pick up dirty, sweaty socks.)


2. He likes to leave his work clothes on the back of the computer chair. He will leave them there for days and when I ask if they are clean he will say yes. My thought is if they are then hang them up.


3. He never finishes projects. He tells me that I never do but there are a lot of unfinished projects around our house.


4. When I have a problem he likes to fix the problem instead of just listening. It drives me nuts.


5. He picks at his toes to relax, then he will leave the toe nail clippings on the counter top. I have told him multiple times if you are going to do that at least put them on the floor because I vacuum everyday.


6. He doesn't clean out his Tupperware dishes. The can sit for days in his car and be moldy and smelly when they finally come in the house. Who gets to empty those dishes? Yours truly.


7. He can be so grumpy and cynical. I don't know why?

I should stop at 7 or you all will think I married a jerk. But in all honesty Mike is a wonderful husband and father. He is always there for both the kids and I. The kids love their jungle Jim dad. I hope he always knows he is loved.

Father's Day was a great day. Surprisingly our children got up to go to church and they were happy. It was a Father's day miracle. Jersey sang in church with the Primary children. She looked so beautiful in her "princess" dress that Grandma Laurie made her. I love that she gets up there and says "Hi dad and mom"

After church we went to Mike's parents for dinner. We had Hawaiian haystacks my favorite. We are trying to conserve our gas so we rode our bikes. Jersey and Phoenix of course loved that all their cousins were there. It had been a long time since the last time we all got together. Great Grandma Nielsen was there too. It actually was her 90th birthday that day. Mike's dad took some great generational shots of all of us. I can't wait until I'm 90. I hope I will that long. Both Mike's grandparents and my great grandparents lived a long time.

To my dad: I love you very much thank you for everything that you have taught me and the example that you are for me.

To Mike's dad: Carl thank you for your kindness and love for us. You are always there to help us when we are in need, Thank You.

To my Grandpa: I love you very much. I am so glad to be your granddaughter and a great legacy that you have given me. I'm so glad that I know my genealogy from you and I know where I came from. Thank you.
