Happy Father's Day
This was Payton's Father's Day card to Jim. On the front there is a set of cards. Hearts I think..JPG)
This is what the card says in case you can't read it:
"Dear Dad, Thank you for letting me watch you play poker. Thank you for coaching my football and baseball team. And especially thank you for making the hockey rink downstairs. Thank you so much for taking me to school every day and thank you for buying me food. And thank you for taking me to the Hawks parade. I love you dad. from Payton"
Reading this card from Payton reminded me of what a great dad my kids are blessed with. I am so proud of him and happy for them that they have a father who cares so much for them and is willing to give so much of his time to teach, care and love for his kids. It is so special to me that this is the example he is giving them of what a dad is and should be.
Thanks Jim, you are awesome in my eyes and theirs.

girl friends

These girls have been friends since they were born. They are 1 day apart and love each other so much.
As they enter school together in the fall I pray they will continue to trust each other
and stick up for each other as they do now.
Everybody needs a best friend.

Campbells Recalls Spaghetti-o's
this is a good reminder of why we stopped buying processed food. It's not the first, last or only way food can be tainted, but it does remind me, again, that my belief in sticking to whole, natural and home cooked meals is better for my family.
Campbells Recalls Spaghetti-o's
Campbell Soup Co. is recalling 15 million pounds of SpaghettiOs with meatballs after a cooker malfunctioned at one of the company's plants in Texas and left the meat undercooked.
CLICK HERE for more important information on this recall.
