Silver Family Picnic

 

My mother's family is huge. She is the youngest of eight children(12 if they'd all survived) Each of her siblings has four or more children. Last time I figured it out I think the great grandchildren were up to 45! Uncle Dennis passed away earlier in the month thus making it easier for many to attend this large FHE/family potluck.

It was a bit overwhelming. I hadn't seen that many Silver Family members since grandpa died over twenty years ago! It was nice to catch up and visit, even if it was a boiling 105 degrees! I say next time it should be in the Fall when its cooler. All in all its nice to see the growth and change in the family.

Father's Day

I feel like Dad really gets under appreciated on Father's day. Don't get me wrong we love our papason. My dad is the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. He's taught me the importance of family and being kind, strong and ever loving.

He's shown me through example the importance of maintaining a loving relationship with our siblings and family. He has taught my brothers to respect not only their mother but all woman in general. He has instilled in us a love for nature and viewing it in a big truck while rumbling down a dirt road. Daddy I love you and want you to know that you are amazing!
