Our Daddy...

The other day Todd jokingly asked Jordan if he had failed him as a father. I think deep down all parents wonder if they do enough for thier kids, make enough fun memories, or teach them what they need to know to be responsible adults and have a testimony of the gospel. So I had the kids write some things about their Dad. If there is one thing people know about Todd, it is that he loves his peeps, so Happy Father's Day to our awesome daddy!

Jordan: I love my dad because he comes to all my stuff, and watches and cares about what I'm doing. He helps me know what I can do better and is always supportive. I like to hang out with him and watch sports, and movies with him. It's fun to joke around with him at BYU games and we always have a good time. Some of the best memories I will always have of him are when we go on road trips together. That is when we have the most fun, and we talk and bond the most. I'm very greatful for all that he does for me, and I love my dad.

Kathryn: I love my dad because he helps me with my homework. He also comes to a lot of my softball games and cheers me on. I love to play games outside with him like hot box and just passing around the football. He always gives me good advice and helps me through hard times. I love to go on camping trips with him because he makes it so much more fun. I love my dad!!

Jillian: I love to go miniture golfing with my Dad. I love to watch movies with him like Lady Hawke. I love the song he made for me when I was a baby. It's pretty and it makes me cry when I listen to it. My Dad is hilarious and he's really nice! It was fun when my Dad took me and the rest of the kids to Moab when mom was sick with the baby. My Dad is so fun to be with, I wish I could spend more time with him. I love my Dad!


Allyson: I like him to come in the deep with me. He doesn't be mean to me. He's funny. I love him because he's my favorite Dad in the whole wide world. He gives me presents for my birthday. (Mom, are you making sure to put periods so it doesn't get stick together?) He gives me hugs and kisses. He helps me put batteries in my camera. He loves me! He comes to Home Evening and lets me share with his scriptures cause I lost mine. He built us a house. I love him so much!

Oh yes, it's great that this is archived. So sweet. I am not surprised Jillian's song makes her cry. And I love that Allyson is concerned with run-on sentences!

I like Todd because he doesn't call me beach anymore, and threatens to hunt down people who hurt me. Also, he is my number one customer for logos. Also, he has really cute kids that say cute things.
