Happy Father's Day (ALittle Early)

The card that Connor picked out was quite funny!

Dr. Jones x 3

New shoes

Rod and reel case
Because Don and I are going to Dallas tomorrow. I was unaware of until recently that Father's Day was the 15 not the 22 so we had to make some adjustments. We made yummy Hobo dinners in the oven and used veggies from our garden and chicken and smoked sausage. Then Don went to his friend's house who has a huge smoker and got a huge smoked pork roast and some ribs so that made his day even better. After he got home the kids and I gave him his presents. He got a rod and reel case for his fishing pole-to those of you that sent him $ for his birthday he is deciding if he want a new gun or a new fishing pole. He also got a new pair of tennis shoes and the 3 Indiana Jones movies which just happened to be on sale at Target. Don is the best dad these boys could have. He is much more patient than me and always wants everyone to be happy even at the expense of himself sometimes. We are so glad that he's the dad!

To our other dad's on Father's Day

Larry is the greatest stepdad/grandddaddy any one could have. We appreciate his love of my mom and how kind and gentle he is to everyone. We appreciate how he is always willing to take the boys to the park and will fix them something to eat any time of the day or night. He look up to him for his Christ-like example and how he looks at things with such a spiritual perspective. We love you Larry!


Grandpa Don is the greatest grandpa around town! We love how he always takes the boys on Rhino rides and frog hunting. We know he loves these boys! He is always there to help out especially when Don is gone and I have car trouble or water heater trouble or even trouble with the boys. He is the family cake baker for birthdays and is the best pasta maker ever! We love you Grandpa!



To my dad who has been gone for 14 years now. He was a great dad to us and always wanted to make sure that we felt special. He used to come into our rooms at night before bedtime and ask the same series of questions every single night determined to help us remember who we were and what we wanted to do as we got older-go on missions, go to college, get married in the temple etc. He was very generous to those around us and to his family. He was a hard worker and loved to run and garden. I can still see him running down the street in Salt Lake at one of his many marathons or outside in the backyard garden in Lindon with his tiller tilling the ground to get it ready to plant. I can see him with Calley asleep on his chest when she was a baby and see him digging through the snow to find the water shut off because the basement was flooding because of a broken pipe. I can see him the day that Suzanna swallowed a quarter trying to get it out of her so she could breathe and I can see him pulling me and Chris out of the pool in Cedar City the day that Chris decided he could jump in and I had to save him. He always bought us girls corsages for Mother's Day and of course one for my mom. He loved to buy my mom jewelry and hid his present buying money in an old piggy bank with a hole in one of the feet. Cayden, who has never met my dad (at least on this side of the veil) said the other day when we were talking about him "I miss Grandpa Kim". I do too! Happy Father's Day Dad. We love you!
