Uncle of the Year

And the award goes to......

You guessed it, Randy! Of course I think he is the best dad around, that's a given but his skill go beyond being a father.

Perfect example, Colby and Dyson slept over a few weeks ago and Randy suggested all the boys sleep out on the trampoline. I didn't realize he was actually going to sleep out there with them! That's going above and beyond the call of duty. I even over heard him plotting a toilet papering excursion with the boys. Don't worry, the voice of reason (me), put a quick kibosh to that plan. I think Hank should be at least 15 before he starts vandalizing with his dad!

Lucy and Isabel always know that when Randy is home from work, he will bounce them on the tramp. Isabel is Randy's "girl". I think I might need to watch out for her!
Another prime example happened last night. Sarah and I had our weekly golf lesson and Brett was busy putting their yard in so Randy willingly watched Jack. As we drove away, Randy was pushing Jack in the stroller with one hand and pushing Max's trike with the other, at the same time he was playing tag with Hank. He takes it all in stride, and never acts put out or too busy. It is one of the traits I love the most about him.

I think Kristeen earns "Aunt of the Year" around this place. She did the "tent" thing too! Get this, she slept in a four man tent with Maddie, AJ, Maia, AND Lane. That makes a total of 5 bodies and most of them sleep like wild animals! Way to go Kristeen and Randy! All I know is that I slept wonderful in my own bed...except I should have stuck Griffin out there with them! :)
