Happy Father's Day

























We had a really nice Father's Day yesterday. After church we headed up to my parent's house and celebrated with all the family. I love getting together with my family! I miss all of them alot and so we are excited at every chance we can make it up there.

My dad is such a great dad. I know I can call him anytime when I need some advice and he always seems to know exactly what to say. He always takes time when we get together to ask how things are going with me and my family and just makes me feel so special. He always says things that make me laugh! It seems that you are never too old to still listen to your parents. He never fails to remind us to fast and pray with the decisions we are making in our lives. I am so grateful for my dad.

Jon's dad is such a good dad, too. Jon looks up to him so much and is grateful for every chance he has to talk to him. Lee has taught me so much since I have been in his family. He always seems to say the right things when we need advice, too. He is very well read in the gospel and he takes every opportunity to still teach his family it. You can always find him silently going about living the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lastly, my Jon is a wonderful father to our children. He is a man of little words when it comes to expressing his emotions, but I can see the twinkle of pride in his eyes when he is with his children. He loves them so dearly and would do anything to make them laugh. I am so grateful that Jon chose a career that supports our family comfortably so that I can stay home and be with our kids. Jon is so easy going which helps balance me out. He is very strong and so smart and is still the most handsome man in the world to me (and it is so unfair that he ages so gracefully!) There is never a day that he can't make me laugh. I couldn't imagine being married to anyone else that could fit me better. I love him more than anything in this world!

I remember when you started dating Jon. I was so excited for you because I knew his family was so awesome. You guys are both equally yoked and that's what makes you such a great couple. I had so much fun with you guys yesterday. I also love your dad, he is such a sweet man. Talk to you later Jessie

I love all the pictures of Jon, your kids have such a great daddy and you have a great husband. Justin and I are so thrilled that you two got married and that we are lucky enough to hang out as often as we do. I couldn't ask for a better sister! I also can't get enough of your adorable kids, it makes me happy that they know who I am and sometimes even like to come and see me, but it's probably more the my kids they want to see! I love you and your family so much!
