Father's Day





What a weekend! :)
Jen one of my best friends came up and spent the weekend with us. Jason, Jen and I went and attempted to play golf on Sunday.... Jason of course played awesome, BUT Jen and I played three lovely holes, on grass greens and from there we drank! ha Now that is my kind of golf......



We had a wonderful weekend! Jason woke to his favorite breakfast, lots of hugs and kisses from the kiddos and lots of lovin from the wife!



I have to say that when I look at Jason being a dad my heart completely melts. He is such a wonderful, patient, loving dad and husband that I sometimes still can't believe he is actually mine! I have learned a lot from him and know that love can and does still happen. I was thinking back to before we had Blake, and as he got to know Kali, he was nervous! I asked him about what..... " I just want to be a dad for her and her to know even though she isn't from me, that I love her.... I would never want her to feel otherwise! " WOW! That sums up what a great dad is right there!

We then went to Dighton to have supper with my parents.... I can't remember a time when I have ever missed a Father's Day with my dad.... We ate an awesome supper, rode the four wheeler and just sat around the farm visiting..... Father's Day has always been a sentimental day for me, not just because of what the day is suppose to mean, but what is actually does mean to me..... I look at my dad with so much admiration. He is not a man of many words, but when he does say something it means everything to me.... He has always been my SILENT rock.... one I knew was always there if a needed a place of comfort, strength, reality, common sense, a place to cry to, and a place of unconditional love even when at times I knew it was hard to watch me make some of the choices I did. I was always worried about letting my dad down, and took pride in the fact that I was worried about that. Of course there were many times that I didn't want to listen or face HIS facts..... But I have always looked to him for guidance. Now of course there are things dad and I just simply disagree on, and I know that is ok..... We can both be very stubborn, and let's just say I didn't get his quite disposition.... haha I am very proud to say my dad is Jon Risley and even prouder to know that almost 37 years ago they picked me to be part of their amazing family! That is why no matter what LIFE is GOOD......
I have been so blessed to have a wonderful family and two wonderful men in my life!
