Father's Day (Other Great Dads)

Hey, we have a dad, but word is, there are some other dads that need a little recognition as well!

First Up:
OPA, (dad's dad)

This guy here...he is an AWESOME OPA! He is constantly giving us candy, taking us for boat rides on the mighty Mississippi--when it is not flooding--letting us drive motorized vehicles all over his driveway. He ALSO surprises us with ice cream trips...AND he OFTEN fixes our van!
OPA, we love you, and a have a great time with you!!!

NEXT:
UNCLE A (Dad's brother)

This Uncle A, is a pretty sweet deal! He has these tats so we thought he was tough...but he giggles like a girl, so we know he has a soft side! He loves to catch us off guard and wrestle us before we know what has hit us! The best thing Uncle A has done for us:
Mr.T, our cuz...he is even cooler! He likes to chase us around as well, and thinks we are all funny! Uncle A, you are a great uncle, but an AWESOME dad! We think you rock!

NNNEEEXXXTTTT:
Grandpa (Mom's Dad)
This guy...you GOTTA watch! He is quick...quick to take our things and hide them, quick to hide, then scare the *&$@! (read:stuff) out of us,
and quick to defend us if mom is too tough!
Grandpa, we love going for truck rides with you, and on special asparagus hunts! We do also like you teasing us, and love to play card games with you! You are an AWESOME grandpa, and we love spending time with you! He can also rip out our sink, and toilet...mom told him it was okay!
Just so you know: he can sleep anywhere, at any time!



Next up:
Uncle C a.k.a Uncle Donut
(mom's older brother)

SO really we aren't 100% sure how this one will turn out, since Uncle C and Aunt J are expecting their first, at the end of July...BUT we do know that this guy supplies us with endless amounts of donuts! What kid wouldn't love that?! We love to play games with you Uncle C, and he is always creating new and fun ways to get our brains going! He supplies us us with awesome and thoughtful gifts, and we cherish our time together! We KNOW that our little cousin has got it made! You are a compassionate, thoughtful, and creative uncle! Thanks for the donuts, and all the great memories! We love you, and your donuts...but mostly...you....

And then:
Uncle B: (mom's younger brother)

Okay, for those of you who know Uncle B, NO he is not a dad...YET! We have a little gut feeling that within a year and a half or so...that there will be a mini Uncle B in the works--GOD help us! :)
Uncle B has come a long way from his oil smearing on the floor (for skating, of course), kicking random people with cowboy boots, and lighting small fires in our backyard...really I am sure any child that he brings into this world...will...be .... fine...really...nothing....to .... worry .... about!
We LOVE kicking the soccer ball around with Uncle B; he doesn't take it easy on us though! We love wrestling with him as well; he is good at bodyslamming us! Truly, we do know that when the time comes, Uncle B is going to be an awesome dad! He is fun, and loving, and smart! We are trying to get him to teach us to play poker; I guess he thinks he's good!
Uncle B, thanks for keeping us on our toes when you're around and playing with us!
We love you, Uncle B!
Uncle B also gives great huge bars of chocolate!
He knows already, that you CAN buy love!

LAST, but not least!

Do we really need to say more?


HAPPY FATHER'S Day!!!
We appreciate all the love that you have given us and the wonderful impact you have made in our lives! You are all such great, strong role models...something our parents are proud to have in our family!
Happy Father's day,
We LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
