A Quiet Father's Day

Brad spent this past week with Madi and the other young women and young women leaders in our ward at Girl's Camp and got home last night, just in time for Father's Day. He volunteered to be one of 4 male chaperones during camp, which was quite an adventure this year. They went to Arches National Park in Moab Utah and then spent 2 1/2 days on a white water raft trip own the Colorado River. Brad & Madi both loved the experience!

Since he had such an adventurous week, it was nice to have a quiet and simple dad's day, celebrated with just our immediate family. In the morning we made Brad his favorite whole wheat waffles for breakfast along with some sausage. The girls gave dad the best gift of all by playing quietly and peacefully so that their dad could have a peaceful morning himself.

We had prime rib and baked potatoes for dinner and Madi made Brad a yummy chocolate cake.



Brad's little family - his wife and 4 children - love him with all our hearts. He works hard to support our family. He is a husband, a father, a leader, a protector, a hero, a friend. He puts his family first. He takes his kids for slurpees and Krispie Kreme donuts. He goes to their soccer games, dance recitals, and school plays. He takes them swimming and on bike rides. He goes to girls camp for a week - taking time off work so he can be with his daughter. He is a devoted dad.
Happy Father's Day, Brad!

. . . and to my own dad & dad-in-law, Ken - happy father's day to you, too! I am so thankful the dads in my life. Life would not be the same without you!
