11 years--5 states, 7 homes, 2 year long deployments, new jobs and new beginnings, a dog who showed us the meaning of crazy, a daughter who makes everyday better, and more love than I could have ever imagined. We've grown--man, we've grown!--and I am so proud to be a part of our team.

Father's Day 2011
“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother”.--Theodore Hesburgh
Tony is the most honest, kind, caring, hard working, patient, honorable, and handsome man I know. He is an excellent example for Samantha of what a man, husband, and father should be. His love for our family is inspiring. He continually makes me want to do better, be better, love better. We are so fortunate to call him "ours".
Tony requested that we didn't do anything elaborate to celebrate Father's Day. He just wanted to spend time together and enjoy some delicious food. This is the first Father's Day we have spent together since Tony became a dad. In the past, the Army has had other plans for Tony on this special day but this year we were finally able to celebrate as a family.
Helping dad prep his truck for his Father's Day gift--a bed topper.
"Squirt it right here, dad!"
Helping dad with the Simple Green. One parent has a little more patience than the other. Can you guess who?
Hint: Every night Samantha's prayers include the following:
"Help me to be a good girl, give mommy patience,
and daddy energy".
Standing on top of the new topper and high five'ing for a job well done!
Ready to go out to eat for a special Father's Day dinner.
Talkin' it over...
I would LOVE to know what Tony was whispering about at this moment.
Sharing a brownie sundae.
That girl can eat some chocolate!
Samantha's favorite place to be.
Daddy's girl.
Samantha tends to cover her mouth when she laughs really hard.
The happiest little lady I've ever met.
I love you, Tony. I couldn't imagine a more perfect father for Samantha. I feel so fortunate to be on this ride together. xox
