Happy Father's Day!

This Father's Day was a dry one, so Gracen and I helped her Daddy water some corn. I punched holes in polypipe and she handed her daddy plugs so he could plug the other holes. It was a team effort. It was pretty hot right at first, but it cooled down we we got in the shade of the corn. Gracen loved playing in the water as it spewed out the polypipe. All in all, we had a good time, and I'm sure Jeffrey appreciated all the "help".

Gracen loves her Daddy! She wouldn't go back to the truck with me. She had to walk/be carried the rest of the way to the other end with her Daddy. Just today, when she found a picture of Jeffrey on my desk, she ran into the kitchen, showed it to me, said, "Daddy!", and gave the picture a big hug and a kiss.
Gracen thinks that every white truck is her Daddy's truck. She always gets very excited when her Daddy gets home from work. She immediately runs to the sunroom to show off how well she can twirl in a circle and play the Stop & Go game. (Or as Gracen says, "Top...Gay!") Gracen and I are very thankful that she has such a great Daddy... we wouldn't trade him for the world!

Love that last picture! Looks like you all had such a peaceful day...I love that Gracen is growing up learning about so many things that most kids would never get to experience!

Well that's the kind of Father's day you have when your married to a farmer, right? But it looks like Gracen had a great time! I think we are gonna have a hard time keeping these girls from being outside! Jeffery, Happy Father's day-You are definitely a great dad!

That is a precious way to spend father's day with Jeffrey. No doubt, he is a great daddy! There's nothin' like the bond between a daddy and his little girl. You sure have a beautiful little girl and I LOVE that last picture!
