My kids are so lucky to have such a fun, smart, hard working daddy. He is always involved and helps me out so much. We love him!!!!

I also want to give a shout out to my Dad.
My dad has always been my number one fan. I have fond memories of seeing my dad in the stands at all my high school basketball games cheering me on and sometimes giving the refs a hard time. :) Many times he was there in a suit having just come from work or a church meeting. He has always been a support and strength to me. Not only has he been a wonderful father, but he is a super grandfather. My kids love to go to grandpa's house and help him in his garden or play in his fun backyard. He is always willing to take them to the park and have fun with them. Thank you for your great example Dad! I love you!

That's so cute. I'll have to try and remember to do that next year. I love Katelyn's answers. You need to have Kevin do that with the kids for you on Mother's Day!

Basketball? Hidden skills huh! Cute idea.... makes you wonder sometimes how they don't need answers to everything, some things are just what their little minds decide them to be.
