Father's Day 2009

We celebrated Father's Day in Utah this year. We took the kids to the park and opened Val's presents there, enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Val got lots of good stuff from the kids and we enjoyed a nice Sunday dinner with family later on in the day. I am so grateful to have Val in my life. He is an amazing husband and an incredible father. He loves our children unconditionally. He takes the time to teach them about so many things, from music to the gospel and everything in between. He encourages them to be unique and to do things that they love and he provides for their every need. He reads to them and he tells them stories he makes up off the top of his head, and he is far better than I at getting them to sleep! :) He honors his priesthood so that he can give them blessings when they are in need. He encourages there silliness. He is such a good dad and I am so grateful to be able to raise our family with him!
