Happy Birthday to Dad!

My Dad... he wore the paper tie that I made him for Fathers Day!

My Dad is such a hunk!

He was also such a cute little boy.
my dad is only 10 months old in this picture.

It was my Dad's birthday today. He would have been 61 years old today! I've been thinking alot about him recently. I don't think I ever realized what a good friend he was of mine. I really could talk to him and tell him what i was truely thinking and feeling. He always looked out for me and wanted me to be happy. I also looked out for him by doing little things. Like, when we would sit down for dinner and everyone was done except him i would stay and keep him company after everyone left the table, or when he really wanted to play a game and we were trying to get the family rounded up to play...he would always be sitting at the table waiting alone patiently for everyone to come, i would go and sit with him and talk until everyone came. Then once I got married Dad did a lot to come around my place. I think this is when our friendship really became a good one! Patrick and I found joy in doing all we could to help dad- like when he needed help moving his parents stuff out of their house or telling him how to work the computer! By doing those things we were able to communicate with dad a lot and enjoyed his company. He did all he could to stop through Ephraim on his way to and from Utah County. He would take us out to lunch or even just stop by to say hi. What I enjoyed the most was when he would come to the games at snow to support patrick and we would sit and watch the game and enjoy being together! He always showed interest in the things I love most! I also miss his quirky moments of saying that he was Terriffic, or saying your a welchman if you don't marry a dutchman, or even the times when we would be watching a movie and a couple would kiss he would shout out " UH- CLOSE YOUR EYES". I miss his stories and telling all my friends hes been around since the earths crust cooled. I miss him telling me to Remember who I am and to Do my Best! I respected him so much for the man he was and how he held the priesthood, how he treated my mother-(oh and his), he loved our country and was so proud to stand and sing the national anthem at events, and his love for music-that i will always carry on.
I could go on and on about my father and what a great man he was but before this gets too long i'll just end it with:
He was such a good man--Everyone loved(s) him so much and he made a difference in everybodys life that he came in contact with. Something he strived for daily!

WE LOVE YOU DAD & MISS YOU SO MUCH!

V-Day Love!

VALENTINES DAY!!
As a tribute to this day of love---I had to put a cute picture up of Patrick and I's first Valentine's day ever! A friend and I sent our two men out on a hunt for their princesses! They were sent to many different places and at each place they recieved a piece of their armor to save us princesses! They found their princesses at the Castle doors tied up(the Manti Temple) and rescued them! Luckily for the princesses their knights had picked up some chinesse food to feed the princesses after being captured for hours these ladies had to have been hungry. On a blanket with some chinese food and sparkling cider on the grass across from the temple took place the romantic dinner. This picture is one of my Knight in his Shinning Armor! I'll always Love him!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Patrick & I had a Wonderful Christmas!We were able to spend about a week in West Jordan with Patricks Family.  We went to temple square, Deseret Star and saw the Grinch which was hilarious, and we spent lots of time visiting grandparents. We cant forget all the nights of playing games and watching movies! It was a relaxing yet fun filled break! 

Patrick got a Nintendo 64 and he was so excited!

Patrick & I opening our gifts from family!

He loved this gift! I had put all of his mission letters in sheet protectors and scrapbooked them. I also did thiswith his weekly reports that he had to write to his mission Pres. 

Then I threw in some of his pictures of the mission and his name tagand made him a video of his mission pics to some music. 

Temple Square

Temple Square is Gorgeous! Although it was cold 

we still enjoyed ourselves!

Aren't we so cute? 

While we were at Temple Square Dad said he would pay for a 

carriage ride. This was our carriage..isn't it cute?

Kelsey & I enjoying our ride.

MAN was that Horse, Jerry was his name, stinky! 

The Driver said he was gasy. It reminded us of Seinfeld  

when Kramer is driving the horse around town. It was

hilarious!
