I want to wish ALL father's out there a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!
Father's to me play an important part of our life and then when we marry and then your husband plays an important part in your child or children's life!
I want to take this this time to honor my wonderful, caring, compassionate, loving HUSBAND and the FATHER of our 2 amazing son's. Dad has and is always there for both our son's. He was the coach for Steve-o's baseball team for 4 years and when he didn't coach he and I were there for EVERY game with his brother Matthew that just loves his older brother most of the time when they are NOT fighting, LOL!. Dad was the one screaming the loudest and cheering the loudest and he DIDN'T care who looked at him. That is his son and he is a proud Daddy. My hubby also was involved in his football same as baseball but baseball Steve-o played for
12 years and football ( I didn't like and was not happy that he was chosen) Steve
played for 4 years. Dad taught both of his son's to read their FIRST book, helped with homework (SSSHHHHH when Mom, didn't know what the heck to do for this math stuff they do now) Dad is there when they are sick, hurt or just needs to talk, Hubby told me he has to teach them how to become great men and how to be a husband and father and how to support their families when they have one, they have the BEST role model, that is for sure!!!! Dad was there painting the the set when Matthew got his first part in the play and in 9th grade, it was the 1st major role part, he was in almost every part, unless he had to hurry and change and I mean HURRY and change and get back on stage ! Matthew also played baseball for 2 years and didn't care for it and his Daddy was coach again. Matt wanted to quit and his Daddy said NO you have to be a team player and not let your teammates down, you have to finish what you started. Then he played basketball and again just like baseball cheering and and screaming that is my son Matt who got that basket and made the score, PROUD Daddy!!!
I have to say our son's are very lucky and then they have there Grandfather.
Papa loves them so much, he is there for them when he can. Don't worry I will be showing pictures!!!!!!!Ken and his Dad have a great relationship. He loves his Father very much. We are so blessed that Papa lives right here in the same town. More than one time Ken's Father calls Ken and will say my T.V. isn't working and Ken stops and goes to cares for his Dad, we miss Nonnie which she was a Mother to me for so long and I took care of her when she was sick for 4 years. Papa the boys grandfather, Ken's Dad, which was Nonnie's Hubby still have a hard time as well as me, with Nonnie not here but she is with ALL of us and we WILL see her again.
Here are some pictures I found....................
Here is Matthew and his Papa at Steve-o's graduation!
Here is Steve-o and his Papa after graduation!!
Here is proud Dad ready to cheer on his son when his name is called at graduation, I saw tears in his eyes, but I didn't say anything!
Here we are at the Christmas lights, we go every year, notice the leather coat that Steve-o is wearing it was Hubby's when he was young and he saved it and gave it to Steve, and when Steve grows out of it he is giving it to Matt but Matt said I don't like the leather look go figure. His Daddy has something else for Matt that he is going to get and LOVE!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!! DAD!!!!!
Here we are when Ken and I were,well let's just say younger of course and thinner, LOL!!!The most important part of this picture is his Matt being held by his Daddy and Steve-o! They LOVE their DADDY!!!!
Matthew and his Dad, getting ready to go to Leah's house to put on the flower's and get in that FABULOUS limo! Matt was just A LITTLE NERVOUS, can't you tell!
Dad was talking the whole way to Leah's house and by the time we got there Matt was smiling and feeling alot better. Thanks to Dad!
Dad and his boys!
Dad, Matt, and Steve with their Daddy in Tennessee!
Just like we were talking Matt and Steve-o always says Dad always takes us somewhere special on vacation.
I feel blessed that the Lord sent Ken my way and he is the Father of my children, I couldn't have asked for a better Daddy and role model than him!
We all love you and wish you a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!
