Happy Father's Day!

I was asked to come up with the "thank you" for fathers at church today.

So I arranged and helped bake 80 mini-loaves of banana bread.

I was also asked to speak in church,

which made me think all week about my dad...

My favorite memories of my dad involve our daddy-daughter dates

We would drive to dinner and the BYU basketball game

Dinner varied, but I always got cinnamon bears 

and Sprite at the game

I picked out cinnamon bears because I knew my dad liked them too.

I think about this now because that was a significant experience growing up

to know my dad liked to spend time with me

I am sure I talked on and on about nothing and everything

and my dad just listened.

Thanks for being a great dad--I love you!

And now he's an awesome Grandpa...

He changes diapers, plays battleship, 

picks out a guitar book for Afton

and sincerely enjoys playing with them.

The kids are looking forward to spending time with Grandpa-

feeding his fish, going to the golf course, 

and of course, more battleship!

We hope you have a wonderful day!

(you can rest up for our visit!)
