Daddy's are important!

I've always wanted kids.  Always.  I knew that someday I would find a man, get married and hopefully have the family I've always dreamed about.  I also knew from a young age that I would need a "good" daddy for my kids.  I knew this was important because of the relationship I had with my own father.  I was always a Daddy's girl.  My Dad was/is exceptional.  He used to take me on dates, tell me I was smart, tell me I was beautiful and tell me how much I should respect myself.   He prepared me for what I hoped I could find in a husband and especially a daddy.  What I wasn't prepared for was this great of a leader and friend.

I know that most women think that there husbands are the best and I think that is exactly how they should feel.  But I know Tye is the best for me, he is the best for Ayden, for Ryan and for Myles.  He will be the best for our little #4.

I know this because I watch him.  I watch him with our babies.  I watch him hold their hands, I watch him lead them in prayer, I watch him tickle them, wrestle with them, check their closet for monsters, discipline them, throw them in the air, I watch him be imperfect and then say sorry.  I watch him remind them every time it rains that God heard their prayer.  I watch him be a Daddy and he is amazing.

I know our kids love him too.  Not because they have to but because they want too. 

I know this because I watch them.  I watch them run to him when he gets home from work,  I watch them mow the grass like their Daddy, I watch them beam with pride when they hoe a weed, finish their meal, fly like Batman, toot really loud, pee standing up, catch a frog, cook a meal.  I watch them imitate him.  

Tye learned how to be good daddy from his Dad.  I'm thankful for Brent.  I'm so thankful that it was important for him to take the time to teach Tye.  To teach him how to be a leader, to teach him how to make God number one, how to love your wife unconditionally and how to do anything and everything for the children God gave you.  He is still learning from Brent and I'm incredibly thankful for that.

We don't know the future and we can't change the past.  But I'm so excited to get to walk through life this far so happy and with a man that helps make that happen.  I love you Tye for the husband you are but especially for the Daddy you are. 

 Happy Father's Day!!
