Father's day 2011

Father's day was extra special this year . Clay , along with his family, and my grandpa and Margaret came over to celebrate with us. Mike had to work this day but sure felt the love when he came upstairs to a house full of people waiting to see him! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day:

Four generations of Rose men all standing still, a rare sight indeed ( and if each generation gets taller, Cameron's in trouble!):
Carley and Mark brought their four wheeler out for the day. Here are Carley and Mack watching the boys play (although Carley does her fair share of playing on the four wheeler, too!):
Dad did most of the cooking for the day. He made his infamous " Junk yard chili"- a favorite family recipe from way back "in the day" when the guys used to take long hunting trips in the mountains. Dad would make the chili by the gallons and Clay hadn't had it for a long time:
Since Mike had to work, we saved his presents for the following day. Here he is reading and listening to the recordable book Mack picked out for him:
Mike is far more than I ever could have dreamed of. He's the best father for Mackenzie and the best husband for me. I can never say how much he means to us. He is always putting himself last for the good of his family and those around him. Here's a picture of him ( and his cute little assistant) checking up on my dad who had been complaining of an ear ache.
