Count down to Father's Day...
Well, with Father's Day only TWO days away I was wondering what YOU are getting for YOUR father? I was just thinking we could SHARE IDEAS... bring it on, what are you giving your father for Father's Day??? (or your cute hubby... the father of your children!!!)
There is a new dvd about President Hinckley that I got for my dad. I also got him a Mo-tabs CD where they sing patriotic songs - my dad likes that kind of music. I had a HARD time deciding what to get him. =)
Well. foy my dad my kids will make him Father's Day cards. That is what he always wants :)
For my husband, i am making his favorite dinner & dessert....and I am getting him good tupperware....my husband is obsessed with good quality tupperware! Funny, huh!?!?
Well I got my dad a John Wayne 5 dvd pack. He likes old movies. My father in law who we hardly ever see I got a photo album at ross for 5 buck and filled with pictures from all of last year, and my (step) father in law loves homemade bread so i'm making him a loaf. and one for me. mmmmm
I just went to the store and looked for anything that he didn't have. I saw nothing. And then I saw a really odd tool, and it was in my cart. He will laugh because he probably has no use for it. But that's what my dad gets for having it ALL.. LOL..
Have a great weekend and glad you got an idea for a post about your dad. That was such a nice comment from you.
I love your blog so much. I will probably come back again. I recognize alot of visitors that come my way too. Take care.
I have a WONDERFUL husband who supports me in everything I do! He is a great father! We are so lucky to have him! I love being with him whether it is an exciting trip to Hawaii or just going out for a quick lunch... okay, I even like sitting on the couch watching TV with him! He is the best! We have been blessed with 5 VERY handsome, VERY kind, VERY competitve (haha) SONS! I have loved going to their sporting events and "cheering" them on to victory over the years. Time flies, I have learned to enjoy each and every day! Life is too short! I have been SO blessed! I have 2 beutiful daughters in law whom I am SO grateful for! They are wonderful and add so much joy to my life! I always wanted a daughter and now I have TWO! AND, we have 2 new grandsons who have stole my heart!!! I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love the youth of the church... trying to help them see the importance of EVERY decision they make! I currently teach institute. I love to play with my kids, GO TO THE BEACH!, garden, go to a movie, go out to eat, travel, and just go out to lunch with my friends!
"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." -Gordon B. Hinckley "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." -Robert Brauit "The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache." -Marjorie Pay Hincklely
"Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." -Majorie Pay Hinckley
"How did a nice girl like me get into a mess like this?"-Majorie Pay Hinckley
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." -Marjorie Pay Hinckley
