Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

When Brian and I got married, I knew that he would be a good husband, provider and dad to our family.  What I didn't realize was how great of a husband and dad he was going to be. Our family is so blessed to have Brian as the dad of our home.  He loves his boys with his whole heart - he would do anything for them and loves them unconditionally.  I remember when Hunter was born, the nurse handed this tiny baby to Brian, who had his ball cap on backwards, and Brian just lit up.  He was made to be a dad!  Our boys adore him.  He is interested in everything that they do - music, shows, movies, bands. 

One cute story that happened recently about Brian and his boys - Brian was on the 2nd interview at the company he works for now.  The 2nd interview was a meet-and-greet with the boss and the other developers.  Brian had heard that the other developers were really into gaming so Brian came home and solicited the boys help in learning the video game Halo so that he would at least be able to talk intelligently to that.  The boys set it all up and explained the premise of the game.  They spent the next 2 hours playing that game.  At one point, Bryson had fallen back in the game leaving Brian's character vulnerable and the older boys started telling Bryson to hurry up because Brian was going to get killed.  After another hour and not moving forward in the game at all - Hunter paused and turned to Brian and said "Dad, maybe you should just be yourself and not worry about being able to talk about Halo.  If they don't like you for you, then they aren't worth it anyway."  Now Brian tried to ask them if it was because he really wasn't good at the game and of course the boys were like "No, no... it's not that - we just think you should be you." Brian thought it was really awesome how they had tried hard to help him be prepared and you could just see how much they loved playing with Brian - even if he wasn't winning for them. 

I love being the mom of this family but only because Brian is the dad!  I love him more than he could ever know and I appreciate all that he does on our behalf.  His plate is very full and has so many things going on but he is never to busy for us.

What more could I ask for?
