priceless

our family got a nice surprise last week with a phone call from the newspaper saying that cooper's essay about his daddy won for their "father of the year" contest.

cooper, chloe & kamrie all wrote essays about brad. they were really cute & were more than happy to write. (coop & chlo told me what to write for theirs) hunter & parker wouldn't write one-you know it's summer break & all! guess they won't get to enjoy all those gift certificates brad won! :)

thank you, seriously, to the republican & to all the business who generously gave $450 in gift certificates to the winner.

and, the biggest thank you goes to brad, for being a father who loves his kids & me, but most of all loves God. i love you.


cooper's letter:
I love my daddy more than monster trucks. and more than a firetruck. and dump trucks. and more than a scooper-upper truck that puts dirt in a dump truck. i love daddy because he is nice and he loves God. and because he's beautiful.

my favorite thing to do with daddy is ride in a truck. he's handsome. i love daddy becuase he likes to be like a monster truck driver.

Gracious. Now we have 2 celebrities in the family. Cooper for thinking so much of his dad and Brad for being the kind of dad that he is that leaves that kind of impression on his young son.

That is so cool. At such a young age Cooper sees the kind of dad Brad is and wants other people to see that also.
