Stephanie, I loved your inverview/chat with your kids and their answers matched their personalities so much. We got quite a few chuckles along the way (I think Hailey has the new baby on her mind--but I think she was right about Dave marrying you so you could have beautiful children together. Tell her I will watch Dora with her when I return so I can speak Spanish better.) HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAVE!!! We so appreciate you for being such a wonderful husband and father. Your kids love you very much and they know you love them. That's a tender mercy is this day and age. How precious you all are!! Thanks for being YOU!
This is classic. We got a good laugh from some of the answers. Happy Father's Day Dave. WE can't wait to come and visit, maybe you can take us to Cal ranch?!?
This was so fun to read! I definitely need to ask some of my kids these questions....
What a cute idea! I love their answers too, seems like they know their dad pretty well. I love the baby answer, your mom is right, she must have the "new" baby on her mind. It's going to be a boy you know....or if not, more fun girly shopping for me!!!
