I wanted to pay tribute to all the wonderful fathers in my life on this special day! Firstly, I am so thankful for a wonderful Dad who provided me with a wonderful home and family life. He worked hard to provide for our family, but also LOVED to play with us. My favorite memories are of birdwatching together, going on family vacations, and working in the garden together. He taught me how to work, by allowing a 7th-12th grader to work in his office. He also instilled in me my testimony of the gospel. I loved to hear him speak in church and share his knowledge of the gospel. He was so intelligent and so well respected, that he was inspirational. He also LOVED babies and they LOVED him as evidenced in this picture of him holding baby Sara and Devin.
Next, I want to pay tribute to a wonderful husband and father. I'm so thankful for my "mountainman". As much as his adventurous spirit has frustrated me and worried me, I'm thankful for his many interests and how he has shared those interests with me and with our family. He is always up for an adventure and stays young by hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, fishing, camping, white water rafting, skiing,and most importantly, picnicing. He works hard to provide for us and is a righteous priesthood holder. He's a great Dad and loves to spend time with me, our children and grandchildren. I love you Tom!! Lastly, I want to say Happy Father's Day to Devin and Jonathan.
They are great fathers and also work so hard to provide for their families and at the same time honor their priesthood responsibilties. I'm so proud of them for their sacrifices as they have worked and studied. They are so cute to watch with their children and I know their children LOVE when Daddy comes home!

So nice! Jonathan cried all the way through it. Just kidding. That was very nice, and I agree 100% with you, that we have all been very blessed with GREAT fathers and grandfathers in our lives. Happy Father's Day!!
p.s. (If you couldn't already tell, this is Sara signed in as J-Man)
It is fun to see my Grandpa holding baby Sara! Well-said, Aunt Joan. That is a thoughtful tribute.
