Sometimes I wish that I could somehow capture on film the smell of the BBQ on a summer afternoon. There's something about sizzling meat and watermelon, potato salad and corn on the cob, that defines Father's Day. And what Father's Day wouldn't be complete without an attempt at capturing all four treasures with my lens...
For the man who makes me want to be a better woman...
For the Papa who molds their hearts with his life...
We love celebrating you everyday of the year!
Each year I ask the kids what their favorite thing is about their Papa...

"I love that you makes breakfast for us every Saturday...
Love going to the park with you...
Love watching movies with you when Mama's gone...
Love riding on the mini-motorcycle with you...
Love working in the man-cave with you and all your tools...
Love riding next to you in your pick-up on the way to school.

Love....
Riding next to you in your truck...
Just going anywhere with you...
Reading with you...
When you stay home with us...
When you pulled us around the farm in the back of the trailer.

"Paaaaaapaaaapapapapappaaaaaaapapapa!" (cuz that's how he says his Papa's name. :)
Papa you are a gracious, kind, manly-man who steps on snakes with your boots and shoots raccoons out of trees with the neighbors.
You have the gift of great faith and when I doubt, you gently lead me back into Him. You kiss me softly in the dark and whisper "you're beautiful" more often than any woman deserves.
You work hard and make time for the hearts that you love with your life, you help others and give generously of anything you have. If I dream, you make it happen.
Somehow you hold the weight of all tender souls under this farmhouse roof. You are the greatest of lovers and are so loved!
Happy Papa's Day, Papa... Man, how incredibly loved you are!!!
