Father's Day
Chris got a special treat for Father's Day. Not by me- mine was a flop.
We got a call the day before Father's Day from a lady in our ward. She was assigned to speak in Church and was wondering if she could come over and ask our kids some questions.
She (Kathryn) pulled the kids one by one and asked them a few questions about their dad and thanked us and left. We were a little curious to see what we would hear the next day, but hadn't thought about it for to long.
Sunday came. (way to early in the morning, we have to leave the house at 8am)
It was Kathryn's turn to speak and she started off with saying how she had interviewed some families in the ward, see if you can guess which family it is.
Then she preceded to tell us the questions she asked the kids and their response. It was the sweetest thing and immediately brought tears to Chris' eyes when he recognized the responses of his children.
After sacrament she gave us a typed up paper of their responses to keep. Here's some of them

Kathryn did such a great job on that talk. Your kids gave the sweetest answers.
Oh Brittney! That is so awesome! You're kids are amazing thinkers. I'm not so sure my kids would be able to think up things like that, (inherited the non-thinking brain from me of course). What a neat lady to think to do something like that. I want to know what the flop was.
