What would I do without my dad? He is an AMAZING man whom I love with all my HEART. My whole life I have had people tell me how WONDERFUL my dad is...believe me, I know! I lived with the guy for 20 years. And he is so much more than wonderful. He is so SWEET to my mom and loves his CHILDREN more than life. He will always TAKE THE TIME to help me or to just CHIT CHAT for a while. On the way to my parents home last night Ben said, "I couldn't ask for a better FATHER IN LAW." It warmed my HEART to hear my HUSBAND say that. My MOM always says to me, "You are just like your dad." I think what she really means is that I am really FORGET FULL but I'll take it as a COMPLIMENT anyway. :)
THANK YOU Dad!! For all you do for US! WE LOVE YOU more than you will ever know.
I was BLESSED with wonderful in laws as well. My FATHER IN LAW, BOB is very different than my own father. How many of you can say that your father in law made your WEDDING veil??? Um...probably ZERO. Bob is a very talented COOK, GARDENER and SEAMSTER??? Bob and Sue have us over for DINNER every other Sunday. It's great to have that time TOGETHER to catch up on our lives. Not to mention it is very SWEET of them to SHARE their table with US. WE love BOB and appreciate all he does for us.
It was a GREAT day yesterday. Spending time with those I LOVE the most...family. Searching under every rock in GRANNY and GRANDPA'S yard for POTATO BUGS or "Woolly Bully's" with my little nephew, SPENCER was probably the highlight of the day. Spencer LOVED Ash and Ben when he was a BABY but now he just digs Ben. So I was really HAPPY yesterday when Spencer asked me to HELP him find the bugs. We put them in a paper cup with some GRASS. At one point I saw Spence with a bag of POTATO chips, I said, "Are those potato chips for your potato bugs?" A few minutes later I hear my brother say, "SPENCER! The bugs DON'T eat chips!!" Spencer had put a few crushed up chips inside the paper cup for the bugs to SNACK on! What a nut! When Ben and I were leaving, Spencer gave me a big bear HUG and a little KISS on the cheek. It was so precious!! Ben SNAPPED a pic of me and Spency. Since I don't have CHILDREN of my own, I LOVE these little MOMENTS with my ADORABLE nieces and nephews. Thanks to my
siblings for sharing the LOVE! 
A FRIENDSHIP REKINDLED :)

It was also great seeing Ben's cute GRANDPARENTS. Too bad Uncle Tom had to assault us with one bad JOKE after another! It's always great to see G & G Kearl and I TREASURE the time with them.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

I have to say that I don't think much about not living at home until holidays come around. What I wouldn't give to hear one of Uncle Tom's stupid jokes or Clayton wiping something off my shirt that isn't there. Weird that those silly things are what you miss. Obviously, my parents cooking is high on the list. Can I just say that the tradition of Sorensen Sunday was instilled after I moved away...uummm should I take offense?
Thanks Ash, for bring a little bit of home to your blog. I miss family!!! Love ya!
That was a sweet tribute to your Dad. He really is an amazing person. Happy Father's Day! That was a really cute pic of you and spencer. Those are priceless moments!
Even after you warned us that Tom was on the loose, the second we walked in grandmas door we werent able to escape the wrath of tom's jokes. man, they just keep going and going and going and im pretty sure we heard each of them at least twice!
My favorite thing about this entire post was that your Father-in-law made your wedding veil!!! Awesome!
Okay, I have to admit that I am a blog hopper and it's so fun. How are you?
It was fun catching up on your blog. I love reading yours as well. See, I knew you would have something to say :)
What sweet things you had to say. It's always wonderful when you love your family, I guess that doesn't always happen.
Sorry I missed your call about Q4U when I was in KS. Funny story: Jake had 2 other people call him about directions to Q4U while in KS. Crazy huh? Popular place. Hope you made it there ok.
