Happy Dad's Day!!

    I just got done writing in the cards I'm going to be giving to the three dads in my life and it reminded me how blessed I am to have such great dads (and a husband) in my life! First off, I'll forever call my dad daddy. He is such a caring, supportive, loving, creative, and sometimes nutty dad! I know that he loves my mom and my siblings and I very much. I can remember multiple times throughout my life were he made me feel important and told me that he loved me. I'll never forget the time I was crying over a boy or something stupid and he said to me, "Well it's not like you're ugly or anything!" (To me this comment was telling me that my dad thought I was beautiful, and I'll never forget it!) One time when I was young I drew a picture for my dad of a fish (because he loves fishing) and for some reason he got mad at me so I ripped the picture into large pieces and set it on the top of the garbage so that he could see it. Haha, the next day he took me fishing and said he was sorry! I'll never forget the drive that he took me on when I was in college and being a selfish little brat (coming home extremely late at night and just having a bad attitude) and he told me that he loved me no matter what, but that I needed to stop being such a brat and grow up (He didn't say it exactly like that, but that's what he meant.) I seriously changed my attitude quickly after! I remember feeling very special and like my dad was very proud of me the day that he baptized me and also on my wedding day. When I was younger he would take just me out on little trips with him. One time we went camping and ate gross just-add-water food and another time he woke me up early in the morning to tell me he was taking me to Los Angeles with him for the day. He was working on a project for Larry King's house and I got to meet him and his wife! At the time I had no idea who Larry King was and I told him that all I thought was that he was an old ugly looking man! haha. He has always made me feel special and loved and now I love watching him love Cannon so much! He lights up and does a funny little laugh (that he has no idea he does) every time he holds Cannon. It's so sweet and so funny! I love my Daddy and feel so blessed to have him in my life!
     I also have a great father-in-law. I swear that he is thinking about his three kids 24 hours of the day and not himself! He would sacrifice anything for his children and sometimes we have to tease him because he loves his children so much that he is the biggest worrywart I know. He has a strong testimony and knows that families and the gospel are what is most important in life. He has always been so welcoming and accepting of me and I'm so grateful for that! 
     Next is the dad who is the love of my life! Since Cannon was born I've been able to get a taste of the kind of dad Marc is going to be. He of course is fun and entertaining, but not only that, he is very protective over Cannon and always wants to make sure Cannon is happy. As soon as we put Cannon to bed he checks on him probably at least twice before we go to sleep and then a lot of the times he starts looking at pictures of Cannon on his phone right before bed. haha. He thinks everything Cannon does is pretty much the most amazing, most triumphant feat in the world! He didn't know that he did this until quite recently, but every time he's with Cannon he'll sing/chant to him everything thing he's doing. For example he'll chant "Gettin in the bathtub, Gettin in the bathtub," "Changing your diaper, Changing your diaper..." the list would go on and on. It's hilarious. He constantly shows me and tells me that he loves me. I tell him that he probably can easily get sick of me (although he assures me that he does not) but I told him that I literally want to be with him all of the time (does that sound creepy?). I love being with Marc. He always makes me happy. And one of the biggest reasons why I love him most is a very selfish reason. It's because I know that he loves me despite my nagging, sometimes negative, overly dramatic attitude. I am so lucky and everyday so grateful to have him as my husband and Cannon's daddy. I am one lucky girl to have such great Dad's in my life! Happy Dad's Day! (One day late.... I did start this two days ago though....)
