Last Sunday was Father's Day and I would be remiss if I did not say how thankful I am for the fathers in my life! First, my Heavenly Father who has blessed my life so much with all the wonders that I have been able to experience as well as the trials and challenges that have helped me to grow and build my testimony.
Next, I'm thankful for my father-in-law who has always been there for us! He is such a great man and a wonderful dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa to his entire family. His progeny is many, he is the father of nine, grandpa to 36 and great grandpa to almost 60 and it is all because two people fell in love over 60 years ago! Since Blaine is the youngest of his children, I tell them all the time, I am glad they tried one more time for another boy after a span of 5 girls!
Next is my hubby!! What a great dad he is!! He became a dad while still a teenager and we learned a lot as the years went by. He learned from the example of his own dad how to be a great dad and has passed that example on to our son. He has always taken an interest in what our kids do and has given them guidance, advice and help with whatever they needed. I couldn't ask for a better man to be their dad!
One of the happiest days of my life is when my son became a dad!! Because when he became a dad, I became a GRANDMA!! Which is my favorite calling in the whole world! He is a great dad to his three adorable kiddos! First of all, he picked a perfect MOM for them! He teaches them everything he can, he spends time with them, he has fun with them, and he isn't afraid to take them camping by himself! :-) What a great dad he is!
The other great dad in my life is my son-in-law! What an awesome dad he is! He has given us two of the prettiest, funniest granddaughters ever! Karlo knows how to have a great time, he has the most amazing patience, and loves to be with his girls! He works very hard for his family and takes the time to have fun. Karlo also had a great example in his own dad. Hardy is a great guy.
So, all the dads in my life are amazingly wonderful! They are all righteous, worthy men; they honor their priesthood; they counsel with love and kindness; they know how to have a good time; they do what it takes to care for their family; they cherish their children; and, the best attribute they all share--they love the mother of their children!
Love you guys!

Tell your hubby, I said thank you for telling my son, as we entered the chapel, that he needed to tug his shirt in and buttoned, I had been telling him from home all the way from home to the church parking lot to button his shirt and tug it in and he just kept telling me, "I will, I will", I guess he needed a male voice to reinforce them.....I saw you talking with some people after the program and I didn't want to be rude so I just to had to literally drag my son out because I had a final I had to get done...I love you and thank you!!!!
