Happy Fathers Day: Why I love my Daddy, My Baby's Daddy and my other Baby's Daddy!

Dad
I have so many good memories of my Dad from my childhood. He has so much love for his children and we always knew that he loved us. He's the type of person that would do anything for you anytime, no questions asked. I remember him staying up with me countless nights helping me with school projects or any project I was particularly interested in at the time. He is extremely creative and instilled a love for creativity and the arts within each of his children. He is such a sweet grandaddy and always has time to play with his grandkids who absolutely adore him. He has always worked so hard to support his family and we always had everything we ever needed and more. He never yelled at us or forced us to do anything but rather led by example. He was diligent in teaching us about our Savior Jesus Christ and the importance of serving others. I always knew I could go to him with any concern that I had and would leave with good advice. I cherished the one on one time that I had with him. Some of my favorite memories are of Daddy daughter dates, our birthday breakfast out with Dad each year and climbing in to bed with my parents after highschool dances just to talk. I love you Dad! Thanks for all you do!




Kyle
Kyle is an amazing Father and loves his little girl so much. He would rather spend a day with his little Ellie than do anything else. He can have her giggling in a second and she is absolutely in love with him too. Kyle is so charismatic and freindly that all around him instantly fall in love with him the moment they meet him. He is always looking out for his girls. Not only do I get lots of help from him with Ellie but he also babies me too. Just last week I fell asleep on the coach and I woke up to Kyle scooping me up like a baby, carrying me into bed and tucking me in burrito style. He understands the importance of work and I know he will always work as hard as he possibly can to support his family. Kyle is such an example to me and has always been so good. He would much rather spend his evenings and spare time studying his scriptures or words of the prophets than watch the latest tv series or play the latest video game. Ellie and I are very blessed to have him at the head of our household. We couldn't have asked for a better guy!



Dennis
My Father in law is by far one of the happiest men I have ever met. This characteristic is easily identified by his fabulous grin that rarely leaves his face. He has a way of making everyone around him feel comfortable and is genuinely interested in the lives of those around him. He makes me smile and I always leave in a better mood than I came when we visit their house. He loves his children and isn't afraid to let them know how he feels. He has always made me feel welcomed and loved and I always look forward to our trips up to Ashton to visit the Fransens. He is one of Kyles best friends. I don't think two days ever go by that Kyle doesn't hear from him. He is definitely one of the hardest workers I have ever met and has passed his work ethic on to all of his boys. We love you Dennis and can't wait to come visit after the summer!
