Fathers

(I wanted to post this yesterday, but our internet has been funny lately)

I am surrounded my some pretty amazing fathers!

Of course my own Father is one unforgettable person.

I think this picture depicts a few of his best qualities-

a leader and a teacher. A man of incredible wisdom!

I love you dad and am so thankful I was blessed to have

YOU as my father! You have always made ME feel

special. I am one lucky girl!!

I was sad to not get to celebrate the day with you

(my mom was not feeling well, so we decided it

was best to stay away, both for her sake and ours)

Then there is Quinn, the father of MY children.

He loves to spoil these kids and it is obvious they

LOVE their daddy. He works SOO hard to

provide for and take care of all of us.

Last week when I got to go away on my

getaway, I wasn't sure what I would come home

to??? I was pleasantly (and humbly) surprised that he

had worked his tale off, getting all sorts of

stuff done in our yard that needed to be done,

he did laundry, dishes, kept the house in order

and most importantly took good care of the kiddies.

These 4 kids are soo lucky to have this amazing dad

and I am extremely blessed to share this life

(and eternity) with him and our beautiful children!

I don't have a picture of him, but we spent

Saturday evening with Kimo (QUinn's dad)

and the family. Its been awhile since we have gotten

together with them, so we really

enjoyed our time together.

Kimo is such a thoughtful, compassionate,

and caring person. I feel so blessed to
be apart of the amazing Hanamaikai Family!

(here's Nalu with his cute little cousin,

Amaya, just a month younger than him)

and the rest of the cousins

having fun jumping

and making smores

For various reasons, it probably wasn't the most
idealistic way to celebrate (and for QUinn
maybe not the most exciting time), but that
doesn't mean the LOVE and APPRECIATION
is any less. I must add I am also grateful for the
incredible brothers/brother-in-laws who
greatly influence my life and those of my family.
Thank you to all the AMAZING
Fathers in my life!
