Top 10 Reasons why my dad is the GREATEST!

1. He is always thinking of what he can do to make his children's life easier.

2.He is always so supportive in the things Matt and I do. Like sitting through a really long High School Graduation in 2007 or driving downall the way from Washington to Utah to support Matt in running a marathon.

3. He dances with me even though he may not want to.

4. He ALWAYS works hard for our family in anything that we may need.

5. He loves mom.

6. He plans really FUN family vacations :)

7. He gives good hugs and always lets you know that he loves you!

8. Whenever you are in the mood for a history lesson, he will give you one. He is really SMART!



9. He is always pushing and inspiring us to be better and do our best!

10. He is funny. He always makes me laugh.



I am so grateful for my Dad and love him so much! He is such a great example to me. He has taught me so much about the importance of testimony. My dad has always been someone that always would tell dates to be respectful, and secretly I loved it. He has always been there to protect me. I know I can go to my dad with any problem and he always has great words of wisdom and advice. I am so grateful we have a day to celebrate father's because I don't know what I would do without mine! Happy Father's Day! You are the BEST!! I love you Dad!!

My parents got a new little puppy because Annie (our other dog) was getting lonely. They named her Katie.

One of her eyes is blue and the other one is brown.

This is her compared to my dad's hand. She is TINY.

That is everything that has been going on recently in my life and with my family! Summer has been busy so far with school and work and I love it. Most of the time I feel pretty productive.
I am so excited for summer and all the activites going on!

I FINALLY Gave In....

I know I have been saying for forever that I wouldn't get a blog, but I finally gave in. It is such a good way for you to keep everyone updated on what is going on in your life. It is also such a good way to keep up with the happenings on what is going on in everyone else's lives. Yay for blogging!
