DAD DAY 2009

Clayton and I have been blessed with the greatest dad's in the world. I guess the rest of the world got the shaft in the Dad department. Sorry, but you did. Just kidding...I'm sure all your dad's are just fine.



Here are our Dad's...
Call him "Pops". We do.


I love this picture. It was taken right after he got pummeled by a wave in Hawaii. Dad has a great sense of humor. Most of the pranks at girls camp and youth conference were planned by Pops. Once the Stake Leaders banned dad from girls camp because he caused too much "trouble." Another time (aka a couple of weeks ago) Pops got a speeding ticket. No surprise here. He thought it would be funny to pay his $75 ticket in PENNIES! I love watching Pop's with his grandkids. He can never EVER tell them "No." Sometimes I tell him he loves them more than he loved us when we were kids...although I know it isn't true, but don't tell him that. Strange, funny man and we love him.

This guy you can call "Poppy." We do.

Poppy is famous for his "Poppy walk." This is where he walks the grandbabbies around the house. They love it. Usually puts them to sleep. Poppy also is the one who uncovered my love for steaks. There is nothing better than a McMurdie steak. Nothing. And lets not forget he taught me how to shoot a gun. good times. Clayton often calls his Dad his hero. I credit Poppy for the wonderful man Clayton is today.

To both our Dad's. We love you.

Thank you for...

your love

your testimony

your humor

your hardwork (also the work ethic you taught us)

your support

your dedication to your family, to Christ and to your Priesthood.

WE LOVE YOU!!!

I LOVE that your dad paid a speeding ticket in pennies. I hope it was to the nasty Smithfield police!

What a great tribute to your dads. I think they're both great and they have raised some super kids. Happy belated Father's Day to Clayton's dad.

PS: Preston wouldn't take the $75.00 worth of pennies, so now the jokes on us!
