The Other Dads We Love...

My Dad is AWESOME!!! He is such a great example to me of Father and husband. There's nothing he wouldn't do to help his kids and everyone he knows for that matter! He's such a hard worker, he loves to go flying in his plane & take the grandkids out, he is so generous with his time and resources, he knows how to do EVERYTHING (including canning and baking bread!), he has more will power than anyone I've ever met, he has been out doing me in the fitness realm for my whole life (when we used to walk together every morning I could barely keep up with him and I was younger), he loves roller coasters and so much more..... He always made sure we were taught what was right and led by example. I definitly remember 6am scriptures, family home evening, church and all its' callings, tithing settlement, fathers blessings every year before school started and anytime other time we needed him to give us a blessing and so on. He is a wonderful man and I LOVE HIM DEARLY!!!! Happy Fathers Day Dad! :)


Sweet Papa!! I love my Pop! He is such a good man and so much fun to talk to. He has done more in his life than I will ever truly know. He was is an amazing father to his children! He loves all of his grandkids too and makes sure that they know it. I was lucky enough to get to go on a trip to Kansas with him about 5 years ago and am so thankful for that fun experience! I had a blast and I know he did too... I love you Pop!









Papa H. loves to hunt and travel in his fabulous motor home set up! He taught my Dad all about that kind of stuff and so much more. He has a great smile when we see it (LOL), he's always so willing to help out all of his friends and ward members and is a very good example of that!







We love our Opa! Another hard worker and good example. Lauren has especially loved having Opa living here with us and greets him every day from work! I know he loves that! He is a great Father and helped raise the man I love!!! Thanks Opa...



Nathan... I've known this guy since junior high! He loves my sister so much and is SUCH a great Dad. Chance & Faith are so lucky to have him. I know he is their idol!!!!







Jeff... Jade and her crew sure love you!!!! 3 boys is a lot, but not for Jeff! He loves his little men and they so look up to him!
















My brother, Richard (RB), is another wonderful Dad! He loves his kids so much and is a very hard worker. He can rough house with them and be soft with them and they love it! He is always on the go for them and they sure love him...









Jaime... I know how much you mean to Summer and her brood. It is so incredible the relationship that you have with her 3 and they really needed that! And, your two boys have had the chance to have a wonderful Dad and example always!!! Your new family (all of them!) are so lucky to have you for a Dad...


Shane... Madisons Dad is so great for her! He is always doing fun stuff and making sure she has good memories! He takes great care of her and his family and she loves him so much! He loves his kids and it shows everyday!


Albert is a good step-dad to Kaitlin & Daron. Daron loves to fish with him and I hope they have a great day... :)
