Oh How We Love Our Daddy!

My intention was to write a wonderful dedication to Cory on Father's Day. This is to let the Cory & the world know how wonderful we think he is and how much we (me, Andrew, Landon, & Diva) adore him! As you can see, I'm tardy...so even if it's a little late...our wonderful Daddy still deserves a meaningful tribute...so here it is...

Dear Cory,

Our family is by far the luckiest in the universe because we have you as a part of it. You make us feel so loved and cared for. We all have so much fun with you...that our smiles and laughter are contagious when you're around. I adore watching you with our sons, and I try and capture the memories so I can remember them forever. Some of my favorites are:

the way you work with Andrew to teach him how to play various sports.

the way you throw the boys in all of the pillows on our bed & they giggle until their bellys ache.

the way you talk to Landon and make sure he feels just as special as if he were our only child.

the way you quote movies and how Andrew now tries to mimic the way you say them back to you.

the way Landon's personality is becoming even bigger than he is - and how you embrace yet another strong willed, spunky individual into our family.

I know you have your hands full keeping up with all of us - but we love & adore you more than you can imagine.

Thank you for supporting me unconditionally. I can't imagine walking through this special path with anyone but you. We are a team...and I can't wait to see what our future holds!

ALL my Love - H

Father's Day Summary:

We always try to do something fun as a family when it comes to special holidays like Father's Day...and today was no exception.

We started off the day early in the morning...and Andrew & I made a run to Krispy Kreme for some doughnuts to start off our day just right. Once the presents were opened Cory headed out to the driving range for a while. While he was there...I worked behind the scenes to get everything ready for the remainder of our day. Once Cory returned, we headed out to lunch at one of his favorites...Rudy's. (Rudy's is a wonderful BBQ place and their food is delicious.) After lunch, we headed over to the Frisco Athletic Center and spent the day at the pool. The FAC opened last year and has a wonderful outdoor pool area that consists of a great kid's shallow water park area, a lazy river, 2 huge water slides, & another pool for laps/adults. We hadn't had a chance to go yet this year and I thought this was the perfect opportunity! We had so much fun together, and I will remember it always. It was a great day & I hope Cory felt the same way.

Here are some pics...
