Fathers Day Weekend

Ella and Ryan

For Christmas last year I bought Ryan tickets to several Real Salt Lake soccer games

Ryan LOVES soccer!

Even though he had tons of homework that weekend I was glad he was able to find time to go to a game. This time he had Ella tag along!

Even though Real tied, they still had a good time!

Ella said she had so much fun! Especially when Daddy bought her a special treat!

Poor Ryan, in the chaos of trying to get out of the stadium he

LOST his WALLET!

We called the stadium and they hadn't seen it. We cancelled all of Ryan's credit and debit cards.

Then Monday morning Ryan got an e-mail from a former coworker saying that someone had found his wallet and was trying to find him!

Yeah!!!!

I called the guy- But he wasn't the one who had found the wallet. He was the boss over a construction crew and it was one of his crewmen, a Mexican gentleman who did not speak English very well, who had found it at the stadium. I guess while at the stadium he found the wallet under a chair and opened the wallet and tried to find Ryan from his drivers license picture, but to no avail. He was too embarrassed to take it to anyone at the stadium for fear that they would think he stolen it. So that night he drove all the way down to Lehi, based on Ryan's drivers license address, to our old house to try and return it. But we had moved. Monday he gave it to his boss who then looked through the wallet and called every number in it trying to get a hold of anyone who knew where Ryan was. Finally contacting Ryan's former coworker who only knew Ryan's e-mail address.

We were so thrilled that two kind, honest people went to so much trouble to return Ryan's wallet! I'm so glad that there are still people like that out there!

What a blessing!!

Sunday after church we just hung out, it was pretty stormy outside.

The kids love making a big bed out of all the couch cushions!

Poor Ryan had to study all night, but we had big dinner and gave him some presents.

Love you Ryan, thank you for being such a wonderful father to our children!

They are truly blessed to have you! And I am too!

Happy Fathers Day!
