Happy Father's Day!

We had a great father's day. We got a chance to spend some time with my dad, and also Billy's dad and grandpa. The day started out at my parents house where we enjoyed the company my parents, my bro's, my sister in law and my nieces and nephew. Its been a while since I saw my nieces and nephew, and I just can't believe how big they are all getting! Little Saige is just so dang smart! She found a little bug with wings and she was certain it was a fairy with pixie dust, and she told me that the bees we saw on our little exploration where drinking the nectar from the flowers! What a doll.

After our little party at my parents, we went up to Salt Lake to Billy's aunt's house for our annual father's day party. There we got to spend time with Billy's extended family, including his awesome 88 year old grandpa that still moves and shakes like a 50 year old! We had a fun picnic and played some silly games. All of the dads had to locate a piece of bubble gum in a giant plate of whipped cream and then be the first to blow a bubble. It was pretty hilarious, even grandpa participated (which wasn't very good for his partial denture!) It was so great to be around both of our families over the weekend!

I am so grateful for my father, and am so happy when I see him interact with his grandkids! He is the best grandpa I have ever seen! I'm so glad that he has given me the opportunity to be a nature girl, even when I wasn't sure I wanted to be one! He has taught me to love fishing, hiking and camping and just enjoy the outdoors! He has such a passion for working in his yard, and to me has the best landscape in the State of Utah! He has such a great work ethic, and has taught all of his children to have the same. I'm so excited for him to be my kids grandpa! Thanks to him for all he does! We love you!

Another father that I would like to thank is my brother, Greg, for being such an awesome father to my nieces and nephews. He is always willing to let his kids tag along with him wherever he goes, even if it means he doesn't get to take a shot at some birds, or put his line in the lake. He would do anything for those kids!I am also so thankful for my father-in-law. He is so light-hearted and always good for a laugh! He has been so great to provide us with exciting and fun vacations to Lake Powell and Mexico! He has definitely spoiled us! He is such a hard worker, and has been so great to help Billy grow in the HVAC business. He's such a family man and would do anything for his girls! He is always working to succeed in everything that he does and its so inspiring. I want to thank him for being him! We love you too!
