Happy Father's Day Daddie-o

He came to my ball games faithfully
and loudly cheered "How to Go!!"
I'd roll my eyes, and jog by to correct him
"It's way to go! Dad, Way to go!"

He was raised by a man with a potty mouth
And Dad didn't like it one bit
In my whole life, I've never heard him cuss
I don't count " Great Gobs of Blue Geese!"
(what did you think I was going to say there?)

He taught me to love music, I love to sing with him
My favorite memories involve his guitar
Singing old country westerns, yodeling for us
We didn't have to search far for our star

As expressive as he was with his music
And as supportive as he was with my sports
The "I love you"s were a little too seldom
And the hugs were a little too short.

Mom counseled him to try a bit harder
So as he walked by he squeezed my big toe
And I knew all along that he loved me
And I thought "How to Go Dad. How to go!"

Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Check out this video about bedbugs.

This is a nymph before it has "eaten".


This is the very same nymph after it had "eaten".


And here it is again, only you get an idea of it's real size.
























And this is what happened to me after I stayed up all night sitting on a couch that was infested with bedbugs.





I'd had a sofa cover over my couch, and had no idea what was lurking underneath until they tried to eat me alive!

I was able to get brand new couches out of the whole terrifyingly itchy experience. And I have a new appreciation for sleeping tight!

Pictures from Cailin's wedding!


Waiting for the happy couple to come out of the temple, Susan finds a way to keep the sun off baby Jacob's head.










Jared and his handsome cousin, Kyle. Eat your hearts out ladies, he's leaving for his mission to Brazil in September.












Here they come! Morgan and Caitlin Sheffer! With Grandma Dee giggling in the back ground.













The mother of the bride and the missionary. My beautiful sister-in-law Nancy Tyree.































It looks like a bunch of models in some fashion magazine, and then there's me in the background. Really, I am related to these gorgeous people!















The father of the bride and my big brother, Todd.















Pucker up!











Kyle and Devin looking sharp!













Glam girl Alli.



















Kyle and Jared sharing a tender and hilarious moment. These two boys are a laugh riot.

















Hey, you know what would be funny? Have Caitlin hold Jacob like it's her baby and have Todd strangle Morgan. Yup, that's funny! Too bad we didn't have a shotgun too.
