Father's Day

"A father can do no greater thing for his children than to let them feel that he loves their mother." David O. McKay







I have been blessed with great men in my life. My dad will always be my daddy, and hope that he knows what a wonderful example he has been to me. Growing up I saw things in him that I knew I wanted my husband and the father of my children to have. I didn't marry someone exactly like my dad, but somewhat similar in the way they are with their wives and children.


I am so proud of the man I call my best friend. He is like no other around. He is definitely one of a kind. I have said many times offer I never deserved someone so great, but am glad, he saw things in me, that others couldn't see. I'm glad you took the chance on the "country" girl and asked me out. I'm glad he has brought me along on his journey through school, and residency. I also, am happy he made my biggest dreams of being a mom come true. He has blessed me with the three most beautiful, precious daughters a mom could hope for. He loves me and makes it a point that they see him hugging, kissing, and caring for me. He dates me and them. He loves to take them on daddy daughter dates and sometimes seems to connect with them better than I do.

Greg is a wonderful husband and daddy. He has a way that amazes me. He means everything to me and has many, many qualities that make him who he is. Here are a few of them.


*righteous*hardworking*caring*spiritual* tender*wise*compassionate* humble* knowledgeable* understanding* loving*selfless*giving*optimistic*amazing* complimentary*leader*worthy*encouraging*productive*disciplined
happy*respectful*much integrity* studious*funny*charismatic*kind*

I found this quote and it describes Greg to a "T". Hurtful words have ever come from his mouth towards me. He always compliments us girls and says how beautiful we all are. Thanks for all you do and all you say.

"A husband should always try to treat his wife with the greatest courtesy and respect, holding her in the highest esteem. He should speak to her in a kind and a soft manner, showing his love by word and deed. As she feels this love and tenderness she will mirror it and return it tenfold."
James E. Faust



Greg thanks for all you do and all you are. I love you BIG like the world.

Happy Father's Day

Love the pictures of the girls and Greg. Can't believe how tiny Maci was. Thanks for the card. I may have to order myself that pattern from Doodlebugs. The pink, green, and brown are just too cute. Hope all is well. When do you leave on your trip?
