Happy Father's Day Pa!

I wanted to do a tribute to my SWEET Pa for Father's Day! I feel so blessed to have him as my Pa. He is a hard working man who always put himself last to provide the best for his family. I remember as a kid, me and my brothers would wait in the kitchen with mom for him to come home from a long day at work and when he would walk through the door, we would all three tackle him with hugs. He always brought home pink bubble gum for us and we loved getting it out of his shirt pockets! Then he would let us unlace his boots and take them off for him. Kids are easily entertained! ha! I am thankful to him for the lessons he taught me, some of them hard learned, and the example he is to me and my husband. The stance he takes for the truth and God's word are the most important thing he could ever teach me. He always encouraged me to do the best that I could do, not be ashamed to do the right thing, to be myself, and to not take a risk if I didn't have to. He is the voice in my head and I am thankful for the advice he gives me and the wisdom he has about so much. I will never forget how hard it was to convince my parents that I needed my own car, but when I asked for a pistol, my wish was quickly granted! His love for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, target practicing, riding horses, and working cattle are all things I enjoy too. I love the jokes he comes up with just to make me laugh! I always wanted a sister while growing up and I never got one. But now that I am older, I have to say that it is nice being my Pa's favorite daughter! So here's a shout out to my Pa for being the best Pa to a thankful family! I love you more than words can say and I appreciate you more and more every day. I love and miss you so much!

Here are a few pictures of my sweet Pa:

The BEST Papa in the world!

Wheel barrow rides make great memories!

Despite all the tractors on the farm, Pa still enjoys the hard labor of pushing the hay-bail-weighted-down wheel-barrow over the frozen ground. That's my Pa!

You can never have too many father daughter pictures...right Pa?

Copper loves Pa and wanted to be included in this photo!

Pa working with Cocoa. Is that Clinton Anderson??

This was taken last year when Pa and Mom came to Reno and stayed with us. Yay for my parents visiting twice in two weeks! Hey, isn't there another machine you need to pick up here?
