Happy Father's Day!

Dear Reed, 

Happy Father's Day!  Thank you for being such a wonderful father to our three beautiful children.   You are kind.  You are brave.  You are handsome, handy, funny, and  a great coach. You always work so hard for us and we appreciate everything that you do for our family.  We are sorry we sometimes bust your chops for being away so much, we just miss you when you are gone.  Thank you for honoring your priesthood, and for being a worthy patriarch for our family.  Thank you for bringing the fun, instead of being the fun police.  We love you so much!

To My Dad, 

Thank you for always telling me I am your favorite, and that I am beautiful.  Thank you for sharing your Diet Coke, whether you wanted to or not, and for working so hard for us while we were growing up.  Thank you for teaching me how to change a tire, add oil, fix the carburetor, and other vehicular maintenance.  Thank you for showing me how to shoot, and signing me up for Hunter's Safety.  Thank you for threatening to kill those boys that sometimes came around, and for being strong enough (or mean enough) to actually do it.  Thank you for taking us camping, and fishing, and for that one time when we went to the Grand Canyon, even though we didn't see it.  Thank you for helping me to pick my school clothes, and for coming with me to all those Daddy-Daughter Dates, and for being a good listener.  Thank you for just being you.  I love you so much!

To Mark,

Thank you for always taking the kids, and for showing them great adventures.  Thank you for being the neatest recycler we know.  Thank you for being so involved in what the kids do.  Thank you for raising such a wonderful son.  We sure love him, and we sure love you.
