What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

OmaHeck: Father's Day

So I am pretty much the luckiest guy around. I have a father, am a father, have the wonderful opportunity to raise 2 future fathers.

My sweet wife is the vehicle to my fatherhood, and the boys make the system complete.

I feel so much love from all of them, and they made this Father's Day a wonderful event. Here's the evidence

Dane made a great Father's Day Tie using some yarn and a bag of M&M's. I LOVED smelling like chocolate all during church!


Here's my sweetheart, looking fine... and proud of herself for the celebration she orchestrated (and kept secret!)


The boys wanted me to open presents as soon as I was out of the shower, so I didn't get a chance to do my hair. The boys tried nearly half a dozen pics of me, Cyndie and the iHome she got me, but every one was blurry, so I snapped this gem.
Dane was in super-tie mode... this one contains multiple coupons for great gifts. I think he's still asleep in this pic.
Me with both boys. Tate in his Sunday regulars, Dane deciding whether to shed his blanket. I am opening a gift.
Tate holding the picture he gave me. I love it! The picture is hanging above the table by my bed.
Being a Dad is a very cool blessing. I love taking on the challenge... and pray daily I succeed.

I want a lick of Tate's sucker in that last shot. What flavor was it?
