Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Robert!!!
Well, it wasn't the best day. It seems I can't do a whole lot right without Robert. About 5 p.m. I had a pity party for myself. I realized pretty quickly today how much I rely on him. Alright, who am I kidding, I've always known how much I rely on him! It's Father's Day so I didn't want him to help with a thing. It didn't take me long to figure out how much he does and how much I need him. We're a team, and without him, this team player doesn't perform too well! But, it does make me appreciate how great he is and how much he does for me and the kids. He says he likes to be needed, well we need ya, Bob! We would be lost without you. You are a wonderful dad. Anyone who knows us knows he is the kid's favorite. It's a little embarrassing when we sit in sacrament and all three kids want to sit either by dad or on his lap. Little Owen had to be taken out of sacrament meeting twice today. Both times he screamed the entire way to the door, "I want my dad!" "Yup, I wish you could have him, bud. But, it's Father's Day, and I'm giving him a break!" So, Robert thanks for being the best dad to these three little ones. That means the world to me. They adore you so much. You truly are their favorite and have always been a better mom than me. I am so grateful for you and don't know what I would do without you. So, when you tease me and tell me you think the sun shines out my a%# (Juno), I hope it will keep shining because this girl will love you forever!
