Dear Grandpa Yingling - we were too choked up with missing you to adequately express our sorrow at your absence from the festivities on Sunday; it was just not the same here without you and we had to work very hard to compensate for the missing piece - we love you tons too and you are a great Father & grandpa!
We had a great Father's Day celebrating the best father's in our lives this weekend. My dad was here from Northern California, and we actually had all three children in the same house for 24 hours! The morning started off with the ceremonial card giving and present receiving by the fathers.....
We then headed off to church, to worship our Heavenly Father - the most perfect Father and the One that we love - what a great service and time together it was!
When we got home, my husband lived the example of a good dad. This video is an example of why - at 40 years old - I felt ready for a child. I had finally met (and married!) a man that I would want to be a father to my child. Someone who loves & cherishes his children, is godly man raising them in the ways of the Lord, is full of wisdom and discernment and a really fun guy......
After the water activities, we sat down for some r&r before dinner...very special dad's enjoying the great weather we had this weekend!

The kids table!
Nothing says "I love you dad" better than BBQ!
For dessert, I got lazy and got some father's day cupcakes from the Ralph's bakery (which is the best bakery around!). For those just joining us, Becky has a sweet tooth - a bid sweet tooth. You were pretty much her new best friend last night if you shared your cupcake with her ~ but she was only interested in the buttercream frosting on the top!
(for those that are wondering..yes-it took her about an hour to fall asleep after we put her in her crib - can you say "serious sugar buzz?"!!)
Preston loved the video! It looks like the daddys is your family had a great time!
