Father's Day.....

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the wonderful fathers in our family. We have been blessed with men who not only lead with love, work hard without complaint, offer wise advice when it’s needed, and provide steady support through every season of life, but who also bring their unique passions and talents to everything they do.



Happy Father's Day Sam!!
Our family is fortunate to be filled with fathers who are some of the best gophers, cowboys, pedal car enthusiasts, and fishermen around. Whether they are spending time outdoors, sharing stories and traditions, restoring treasured collectibles, or teaching the next generation the value of hard work and perseverance, they leave a lasting impact on all of us. 


Their dedication extends beyond their hobbies and interests—they are devoted Christian men who lead by example, demonstrating faith, integrity, and a commitment to their families every day. What a difference this makes in the lives of children. 


I love reminiscing about the many memories that have shaped our family story—days spent fishing, working side by side, family gatherings filled with laughter, words of encouragement, and the countless little things that often go unnoticed but mean so very much. 



To all the dads, grandfathers, fathers-in-law, and father figures who have loved, guided, protected, and prayed for their families, thank you. Your influence reaches farther than you may ever realize.


We are truly blessed with some of the very best dads, and today we celebrate each one of you with thankful hearts. May you know how deeply you are loved and appreciated—not just on Father’s Day, but every day of the year.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing fathers who make this world a better place.




My dad.....and my Brother Joe.
Fathers have a special way of leaving footprints on our hearts that remain long after the day is over and even long after they have passed.  My dad has been gone for some 9 years now, but oh how often some of the smallest things pop into my mind about things he would say or do.  


Dads, Fathers, the men in our lives.....lets love on them today and let them know just how grateful we are for being in our lives.
