Dynamite Daddies!

Our kids have no idea how lucky they are to have such fabulous fathers! We count our blessings each and every day.  What makes our dads such great dads? They are....

• Supportive and committed parents from the moment we discovered we were pregnant, right through delivery, and fell into the role of "Daddy" naturally 
• Willing to participate in every facet of infancy including nightly feeding, baths, diaper changes, doctors visits, and dealing with mommy's hormones
• Excited and proud of every new milestone
• Able to share the worry that accompanies being a parent
• Sees beyond the tears to the true issue even if it's simply hurt feelings
• On the same page when parenting issues arise
• An unlimited amount of patience through the "terrible twos", "trying threes", "funky fours", and each stage that follows
• There to send them off with a hug and a smile for their first day of school 
• Provide unconditional love (even when the kids can be super annoying)
• Attends all the conferences, games/coaching, car pool, boy scouts/den leader, science fair, robotics, swimming, and we could go on and on
• Family ALWAYS comes first and they'd prefer to be with their kids then anyone else (other than us)
• Wears many hats in the house...cooks, cleans, does laundry, toilet unclogger, bug killer, reading buddy, boo-boo kisser, swing pusher, ball thrower, tickle monster, rough housing accomplice, battery changer, toy fixer, maintenance man, gardener, garbage man, dog pooper scooper, pool boy, snow shoveler/blower, general overall handyman, and the cuddler at the end of the day.
• Always teaching life lessons..such as how to hit/kick/throw a ball, treat a woman, respect others, ride a bike, use tools, rotate the tires; when to man up, figure it out on your own, tell an adult, ask for help; and be good person
• Our kids #1 fan!

We love you Jared and David! Know that our kids think the world of you.  Thanks for ALL that you do!
