Happy Fathers Day!

I am so thankful that I was blessed with such a great father. He taught me to be honest, to serve faithfully, to stand up for what I believe in, to drive, to look presentable, to garden, to work hard, that education is important, to hold family scripture reading, prayers, & family home evenings, to be an active church member, to respect my mother, to live a worthy life, to say what you think, to be thrifty & live within your means, to love your spouse, etc. The list could go on & on, my Dad has really taught me a lot & I am eternally grateful for that. Some of my fondest memories of growing up was listening to him play the piano as I drifted off to sleep. Or when as a family we would sing around the piano as he played. I truly regret not having him teach me how to play the piano, I am the only child out of 6 that didn't try to learn. I also remember him taking me for walks or out for a treat. He has always loved me even when I make mistakes. Thanks for everything, I love you Dad.

One of my favorite times with my dad was the summer we went to Jacksonville, WY for a family reunion. We went on this tram that takes you to the top of this huge mountain, the views are amazing & it was by far my favorite part of the trip.



Laun is truly an amazing father & very good looking, too. Our kids adore him & it is obvious that they prefer him to me but, I am okay with that. I am just thankful that they have such a great dad. He loves our kids, teaches them, helps them, cares for them, & he is fun too. He works with the kids in the garden, to build things, with the animals, etc. He helps our kids achieve & to try harder & be better. He helps them over come their fears & to believe in themselves, to have confidence. He is very smart & talented & I can already see that in our children thanks to him. I am grateful to have Laun in my life. He is a wonderful husband & father & he makes our home a happy place. I am thankful to have the priesthood in our home & the blessings that brings to our family. He loves his family so much & we are his world & it shows. We love you Laun & are thankful for all that you do. Happy Father's Day, we hope you had a great one!


Poor Laun, I woke him up to give him breakfast in bed & he was still so tired. I should've let him sleep in on father's day!

The kids made him pictures, he is holding Marlees here^
