Happy Fathers Day!!!!

Just want to give a shout out to these fine fathers on this special day...
Glen Kennedy aka Dad, Papa, Grandpa and best father in law ever. We love Papa Kennedy so much and are so grateful for his happy, loving attitude towards life and family. We love that he is always willing to help out whether its holding one of the kids, pushing them on the swings, helping them get the eggs, or just relaxing on the couch. He always has a smile on his face and a great story to tell. Happy Fathers Day Grandpa Kennedy, we love you so much!


Douglas K Buckmister aka Papa, Grandpa Buckmister, Grandpa Goldie, Deputy Doug, Doogie and Dad. We are grateful and love Papa Doug for his contagious smile whenever he sees you, his excitement for the little things in life, his willingness to babysit the grandkids at the drop of a hat and the easiness of the duty. We are grateful for his love for Disneyland and the fact that he'd take us all at anytime if we could, and that he will sacrifice his news channel so the kids can watch sponge bob. We love you so much Dad and wish you a Happy Fathers Day!!


Russell E Kennedy aka honey, Dad, Daddy, Russell(as Maggie now formaly calls him). Russell has been a father now for almost 4 years and has learned a lot along the way. As parents I don't think you ever stop learning and each child helps us learn something different. Maggie has taught Russell pure love and I pitty any boy in her future that wants to date her. Lucas has and is still teaching Dad about patience and Russell is so excited for him to be big enough to "play" with him( quads, dirtbikes, fishing etc...). Sweet little Violet has taught Russell that holding a baby isn't that bad, he loves all his sweet little kids and works very hard for to provide a good life for them. We love Dad for the fact that he loves spending time with family, camping, at the dunes, at the cabin, swimming or going for a Sunday drive up north. We love that every time he sits on the floor he knows he just made himself a human jungle-gym for the kids and they climb all over him with joy that he is home from work. We love that he takes the kids for rides on his quad or the golf cart because he wants to and not them(even though they love it!). Mom loves that he is so thorough when brushing their teeth and getting all the "sugar bugs" out. We love when he makes yummy buckwheat pancakes and makes Mickey Mouse ones for the kids. There are so many reasons we love dad and everything he does for the kids and for me and our little family. Russell you are a wonderful dad to our kids and they look up to you and love you so much. I love watching you grow as a father and a husband and I hope you have a great Fathers Day. We love you!!!!
