My dad

Well its Fathers Day! I just wanted to tell you all a tiny bit about my dad. He is the greatest. Really he is.

He loves to hike and camp. He is even going on his second 50 mile hike this summer.

He likes to read (fantasy and self help books.)

He is smart and clever.

He can build anything. Just last summer alone he made a picnic table, a potting bench, and a porch swing.

He can also do anything. He has done so many remodels on their house over the years almost all by himself (sky light, new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, garage turned living room with a fire place, new master suite, green house, and the list goes on and on)

He is spiritual. He was put as the new Bishop of his ward in May. (see pictures below)

He loves his children. Just yesterday, he called just to talk to me. We talked for almost 40 min.

He is a great papa. He is Rhylan's favorite person besides Riley and I. Every time she picks up her play phone she says she is calling Papa. She loves to look at his picture and talk about him. It was so sweet, Rhylan didn't always see how great he was. When she was 6 months old at Christmas, she was afraid. He would wait until she was asleep and then beg to just hold her. Or he would pick her up from behind and just walk around the house not saying a thing, so she didn't know who was holding her. He sure is in love with this little girl (his only grandbaby so far.)

He is also one of the funniest men alive. He can make a joke out of any situation. He can make anyone laugh, and he always has something witty to say.

He is nice...lame I know but its true. He is so friendly and kind. Anywhere we go there is always someone there who knows him. Everyone who meets him is instantly his friend. He instantly accepted Riley as a son! (Mauricio too--my bro in law) He treats them just as he would his own kids.

There are so many things about him that make him wonderful. These are just a few.


Love you dad, happy fathers day!
