Happy Father's Day Jas!
He is an amazing man! He is a hard working, wiggle car ridin', swimming buddy, story telling at night, cuddling by the boys, four wheel ridin', song maker-upper, funny picture drawing, tickle monster, jokester, Wii playing, High School Musical Dancing (for the kids of course), popcorn & sno-cone making/ eating, fun loving Dad! Creed says he loves when daddy bounces him high on the tramp. Treygen likes to go on 4-wheel rides with dad- it is Awesome :) Tekai also likes the 4-wheeler & loves to tackle daddy when he walks in the room! Thank you Jas for being the most loving & fun dad for our family. We all love you & hope you have a great day!
P.S. I also hope my non-vegetarian dinner turns out- if not, you always have the "meat man" back up in the freezer! I'm pretty sure I can handle the yummy potatoes & corn recipes- not making any guarantees with this new chicken one -sorry.
I'm sure I will have more pics of my boys on Father's Day- will add more later ;)
**Great Dad #2**
Jason has a wonderful dad whom I get to call Dad too. (Although I kinda like calling him Elby!) He is always happy & ready to give us some piece of information we haven't heard before. We love it. He is very knowledgable in everything. He is very talented & a go-getter of a guy. I think we know where Jason gets his ambition from :) He was a great coach for Jason on many teams. A great Scout Leader- always having fun. We are truly grateful for his love & support he gives us. Our children absolutely adore him & love the buckin' bronco rides he is always up for giving. He has so much energy to go around & loves to hike, repel, boat, fish & play with the kids. He loves Sharp Cheddar Cheese, & one year for Christmas that is what we gave him!- a BIG block of cheese & crackers- couldn't ask for more huh Papa Bear?! We miss seeing him & Mom since they moved to Texas. They are doing great work out there both for the Church & for their jobs. Thank you for your amazing love & example you teach us. We hope you have a wonderful Father's Day & hope to see you soon. We love you & are so happy to call you "Papa Bear" ;)

My Sweet Daddy who is not here with us, on earth, anyway- but we know his Spirit is with us. It has been another emotional holiday for me, missing my dad on Father's Day. I don't know anyone who knew my dad that didn't smile each time he was around.
He was a jokester, a whistler, a Johnny Cash listener, a Pink Panther watching, a rough hugger, a pleaser, a BYU's Biggest fan, a rook playing, a New York Yankee follower, a Big Hearted, a loudest fan in the stands, a "Judas Priest" yelling, a peanut butter eating, a Best White Elephant giving, a world travelling, kind hearted man! And I get to call him my Dad! If ever I was having a hard time with anything, I could call him or go see him & he knew exactly what to say. Whether it was what I wanted to hear or not, he knew how to handle things & give compassion & love at the same time. He ran LDS Social Services in Arizona, ran the IHC Hospice program up here & has helped so many people unconditionally. I'm so proud to be part of his Legacy & hope that I can carry on some of his wonderful teachings to my children. I love you Padre & my heart aches, I miss you.

You have such a cute way with your posts! I always get excited when you have a new one! You have one of the sweetest families I know and you are one of the nicest people I have ever known. And I know your dinner turned out...the next time you need corn...you just holler! I will always keep an extra in my pantry for you! Thanks for being such a great friend and such a good example. You do inspire me to be better and to do a better job.
