That's My Daddy!

Today was a great Father's Day!  It started off with bacon sandwiches, church and then time with both of the father's in my life.  For years, we have had my dad over to cook steaks.  This year was no different - just a little hotter!

This is the little treat the Primary children made for their dads - well, most of it!  Behind the cute hand drawn portrait of their father was a chocolate chip cookie!

And then it was time for a feast!  Ribeyes and baked potatoes with a cookie cake for dessert.

Of course my father, William Carrol "Buddy" Mumford, took his pound cake to go!

Me and Bud!  He's happily retired now after many years of working at Stemco.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get new pictures of the girls with their daddy, but here are a couple of my favorites!

Taylor and Carey dancing at Aunt Kimberlie's wedding.

Brooklyn and Carey at the Mud Hut for Taylor's 12th birthday party.  The lady asked everyone to raise their hand if they had never been there before!

Carey Wayne Eldridge, Sr. and the girls. This is our first Father's Day without Poppy.  He passed away on September 20, 2010.  Wish I had known this picture had been cut :(



And just to end the day with a few words about the importance of fathers:

“… By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. … (A Proclamation to the World)
