HAPPY FATHERS DAY

My multi-faceted husband. Do you kind of understand our children now? He is a great man. Fun, funny, and most of all he loves his childrens mother and he loves his children!

My funny dad! You have been a great father full of lots of stories...sometimes the same one...but thats OK. You worked hard to provide for our growing family and took great care of our mom!

Steven embarked on fatherhood this year and is a natural. I knew he would be! He was always good with the kids in the ward, the neighborhood, wherever we went he was like the pied piper they would be following him, tackling him and he loves it. He is a great husband and father and will always do the right thing when it comes to his family! The love is apparent everytime I see you hold him!

My favorite picture of josh and his boys! Josh has had a different journey to fatherhood. WOW! You have amazed me! The tender feelings I feel when I see you with your boys.... I feel so proud of you and your unconditional love you have for them and their mother! However many little ones the Lord blesses you with will be some pretty lucky kids!

I look forward to two more boys that will become fathers. I know they will be just as amazing in their own ways! I feel so blessed to have such terrific kids who will know raise an incredible new generation! Love you guys so much!

Missing y' all today...

TO MY SOON TO BE DADDY (sept) YOU ARE ABOUT TO TAKE ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, GRUELING, NEVER ENDING , SATISFYING ROLES OF YOUR LIFETIME. I KNOW YOU WILL BE AMAZING! CAN'T WAIT! YOU HAVE A GREAT ROLE MODELS IN YOUR LIFE....

TO MY SON WHOM I HAVE OBSERVED THESE LAST 2 YEARS AS HE HAS TAKEN ON THE ROLE OF FATHERHOOD...I AM SO PROUD OF THE MAN, FATHER, DADDY YOU HAVE BECOME. YOU HAVE TAKEN TO IT SO NATURALLY. I HAVE GOTTEN TEARS IN MY EYES AS I HAVE WATCHED YOU WITH YOUR BOYS JUST DOING THE MUNDANE EVERYDAY STUFF. YOU ARE A NATURAL! YOU WERE MEANT TO BE A DADDY!

OUR INCREDIBLE FAMILY!!

THANKS PONCHO FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT DAD TO THESE AMAZING KIDS!

AND A FUN G-DIDDY!

TO MY DAD: BEING RAISED BY A THERAPIST MAKES FOR AN INTERESTING CHILDHOOD. I REMEMBER ONE TIME AS A TEEN RANTING...MY DAD PULLED OUT A TAPE RECORDED PUSHED PLAY AND SAID "NOW WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO A PERSON WHO SOUNDED LIKE THAT?" I SWORE IT WASNT ME. OF COURSE, I KNEW IT WAS.

HE WAS ALOT OF FUN TO TALK TO AND I BELIEVE I AM FASCINATED WITH WHY PEOPLE ARE THE WAY THEY ARE BECAUSE OF ALL THE STORIES HE WOULD TELL US OF THE CRAZIES! HE WAS ALWAYS SO HELPFUL AROUND THE HOUSE. ALWAYS ON THE GO DOING, WALKING, PLAYING SPORTS OR WATCHING THEM, READING.

THANKS DAD FOR BEING A GREAT FATHER!

WE LOVE YOU!
