Happy Father's Day to MY Dad!!




Thanks, dad..for being such an amazing man, husband, father. Here's just a couple of reason why I love ya!



  • You work harder than anyone I know

  • You are the most honest person I know

  • You have very kind eyes

  • You always do what's right, it doesn't even seem to occur to you to cut corners..or ever "try to get away with something"

  • You love the Lord, and seek to do His will.

  • You always put others before yourself

  • You get down on the floor and play with my kids..even with really, really bad knees!

  • You give sacrificially

  • You know how to fix almost anything...or can figure out how to!

  • You are extremely patient

  • You never yell or curse....(do you even know any 'bad' words?)

  • You love peanut butter..and sweets!

  • You are soo good to mom

  • You are meticulous and very organized (why didn't I get any of that?)

  • You always do your best

  • You find ways to help other people

  • You never have to be asked to lend a hand

  • You have amazing handwriting..I've always admired it!:)

  • You always have good advice, but somehow wait for me to ask for it. I pray I can hold my tongue when my kids do the crazy things I've done and make some of the mistakes I've made.

  • You are respectful

  • You have good stories to tell

  • You were in World War II!

  • You age amazingly well

  • You allowed my children to tattoo your leg with Spiderman tattoos!

  • You have been through soo many hard times, but haven't become bitter or angry, just kinder and gentler.

thanks, dad. How CAN I thank you for being the amazing person that you are?? I love you soo much and I can't wait to see you!

Aw, Kristen, I loved this post, your dad sounds like a great guy. What a sweet heart. How wonderful for you to take a moment to let him know all the things that he is to you.

BTW, I just HAVE to know where you got the daddy song.... we have sung that at church all my life, and I want to know it that is a song that is all over, or if you found it through some LDS contact. :-)

Christie..it was on music playlist..and yes, it IS LDS! :) I knew my LDS peeps would appreciate that! (I had just typed in "dad" and went through a bunch of songs and that one seemed most appropriate!
