Happy Father's Day

Yeah I know it was a couple of days ago, but I am a little slow! Well I think we had a good day. I hope Paul enjoyed it. He really doesn't like the attention, so I have to be careful not to make a big deal out of it. For Father's Day we got him a tackle box with some fishing supplies, a HUGE ole' pancake spatula that he found at Lin's and a new bladder for his camelback (water holder thing that he takes to work). I just want to take a minute to tell Paul how grateful I am for him. He works so hard for us. I know some days it is sooo hot and he has to be out there in it, while I am in my nice air conditioned house. More importantly though I really appreciate how serious he takes his church callings and the privelage of holding the priesthood. His such a good example to our boys and our little girl. I hope that they really understand how much their dad loves the church and its many responsibilities. Paul loves being a dad and he never tries to pass his responsibilites off onto someone else. He knows his role and he lives it. Thank you Paul for being who you are and taking care of our physical and spritual needs. We love you!

Now to my dad. He's an interesting fella! No one else just like him! He has always been there for us. I remember him being to almost all of my activites growing up. He had to work so hard for our family. He was always available to help us with homework (even if he did make us cry when doing math)! He also made sure we had fun and did things as a family. He loved to make us have forced family fun! Even when we give him a hard time because he can be such a gomer, he forgives us. Like the trip I took to Australia with my parents, Timmy and Christie. He really should have left Christie and I in Australia because we just were not very nice to him. We got bored a lot and he was our entertainment. (Sam? Whose Sam?) Anyways, dad I love you and I am so glad that you are such a huge part of my life and my childrens lives. We seriously couldn't ask for a better Grandpa!

Also, thank you to all of the men out there that are apart of our lives and our children's. You have been awesome examples for them and we are so grateful for that!
