Happy Father`s Day!

Happy Father's Day to the two most wonderful men in my life!

My amazing husband, of course - Lee - you are such a great husband and father, and I don`t know what I would do without you.  I see more and more how even though we are so different to the point of driving me crazy sometimes, we are exactly what each other needs in our life!  Our qualities compliment each other's so well, and I am so grateful for that.  We have both improved and grown so much over the last 11 years!  He is such a devoted, loyal, hard working man who does all he can to make me happy.  He is always trying to improve his life and our relationship, and he would do anything for me.  He has been sooo busy with work lately that he hardly has time to even do anything for himself, and yet he still manages to be there for me when I need him the most, and to take time to be in the kids' lives as best he can.  He helps out a lot with all of the kids, but especially with Scarlett.  I know I am probably one of the only wives whose husband is willing to get up with a baby any given night, and early almost every single morning so that I can sleep in.  I swear, he has not complained even once about me waking him up!  He has such a great positive attitude, and helps me to see the greater picture.  Not to mention, we sure have a lot of fun together.  Lee, thank you for being the greatest father of my children I could ever ask for!
Also, my wonderful father - Dad, I couldn`t have asked for a better father!  What an amazing example this man has set for all of us.  He is spiritual, and has taught us how to put the church first in our lives.  He is hardworking, and his motto of "Work hard, play hard", has become well known to everyone who knows him.  Throughout my whole childhood, he has been so great at taking the time to teach and do things with each of his children.  From "interviews" to "dates" to fun family vacations, he added a lot of joy to my life.  He can make any situation a good and fun one, and he always seems to have a positive attitude through whatever life throws at him. Who else answers the question, "How`s it going?" with "Outstanding, but getting even better!" every single time?  I have learned from him to always do my very best, and to live life to the fullest.  He cares deeply about all of us, and it shows.  I would also say that my Dad is the Wisest man I have ever known!  Dad, thank you for who you are and for all that you do!

And just a quick little mention of my two growing boys, that I love so much and hope will become great fathers like my husband and my Dad!  Mason is such a little rule-follower, I really think that will help him to be an obedient man, dedicated to the gospel.  I know he will be a great missionary, as he has already started inviting any of his friends that don`t go to church, to come to our church!  He is grateful to have friends in the church who can make good decisions with him - just the other day, he was so proud that him and his friend said they couldn`t have Iced Tea at a non-member's birthday party they were at!  And everytime he has Rootbeer, he diligently makes sure it`s the kind without the caffeine!! So cute.  Mason has a great work ethic as well, and wants to be the best he can - even if he struggles a little bit sometimes....
And my cute little Griffin - not such a rule follower, but wow, what a happy little boy who knows how to fill everyone around him with joy!  His smile is mischevious, but lights me up inside.  He is so outgoing and makes friends with absolutely anyone he meets.  He is very smart, and has a great sense of humour, already. He makes me laugh and smile each and everyday, and sure tries hard to be a good boy and make us happy.
I am so blessed to have all of these great boys in my life!
