Fathers

I know I'm incredibly late but I just wanted to tell my dad thanks for everything he has taught me and done for me.

Here are some reasons why I love and appreciate my dad.
-He taught me to work (I didn't like it at the time but boy is it paying off now)
-When I was a kid, he would wrestle with me and my brother all the time.... we loved it.
-He is an incredible rhymer and always makes birthday scavenger hunts an adventure.
-I used to love when he would jump on the tramp with us. He could make us bounce SO HIGH!
-He taught me how to back in a boat.... and that took some patience and lots of practice.
-He comes to our house bringing gifts of watermelon, grapes, peanut M&Ms, cashews, chocolate covered almonds, and a bag full of other random odds and ends when he drops off my sister to stay for a weekend.
-He was always my ride buddy at Lagoon.... until my siblings got big enough to ride all the rides.
-He brings in his scriptures and helps me through some tough times.
-He always initiates family prayer and makes sure it happens.
-He can cook some really good meals.
-He works hard and plays hard
-He tries everything. Even though he is a great skier he has still wakeboarded and snowboarded, just for the experience.
-He has gone sky-diving with me...... twice. (And I've heard he's heading for a 3rd time with my brother Brad for his 18th birthday)

Thanks for all you've done dad. I love you!


And an Honorable Mention....
I also have a wonderful father-in-law. Thanks for all you do as well. I asked Jesse if he'd like to say a few words about his dad but since he's a man of few words all he said was "You Rock"
So there you have it.
