From My Kids' Point of View...


How can you not love a man who...

* Throws your children 10 feet into the air and safely catches them as they are giggling hysterically.

* Willingly changes their dirty diapers and wipe their messy faces.

* Knows just how to tease them to stop them from being in a bad mood.

* Makes family life fun and relaxing for everyone.

* Throws a blanket on his head and runs after the kids like a big scary monster.

* Races the kids up and down the hallway, and almost always lets them win:)

* Can change from acting like a 3 year old to a grown man in 2 seconds.

* Helps around the house in any way I need him.

* Tells my babies stories of his childhood at bedtime.

* When reading them stories, he never actually reads the words, but makes them up instead, and it usually gets me laughing pretty hard.

* Sets a good example to our children of how to be a good person.

* Raises his voice to them and Hunter will ask, "Can you be nice to me?", and then he feels bad?

* Hunter and Grey are a spit image of him, and Jaina loves Doggies just like he did when he was little.

... and that is why I love this man!!! Happy Father's Day Sweetie!!!

Mandi! That was so sweet! I can totally picture Jon running around chansing them as a monster and the changing the words of the book...Jon? No!!! jk He is a great daddy and you are a great mommy, lucky kids.
Yes, I think I am going to pick up the natural almond sample later today and try testing it. To me, it really did look the best in my house, you are amazing, how did you know? It will be fun to see it actually on the wall!
Love you and thanks SO much for your help!

So cute! I think the Pearson boys were raised right! Gotta say I know what you mean about making up his own story, Stephen does that occasionally! What would we do without them!? :)

What a sweet post! Jon is so cute with the kids, he seems like a great daddy. I'm glad he's coming out of his shell around us. It was probably pretty intimidating to marry a girl with four older brothers! I'm still way bummed I missed his singing debut with Landon... he better do an encore for me! Oh, and I love the picture of Jaina in her boots and poofy skirt!! haha!
