Fathers

 I don't know if I am food obsessed or if it is Aaron.  As I racked my brain for what he'd like for father's day, time and time again  I thought of food.  And then (I'm thinking) if you're going to give food for your gift... I might as well  present it nicely.  And thus was born... bacon roses.  Of course... I did get a bit of help from pinterest, but that hardly counts does it?  These were a big hit. 

 

 The kids had a lot of fun helping me put this together as well.  They thought it was so funny.

Aaron really is a phenomenal Dad!  He makes each of the kids feel special and makes a point to spend 1 on 1 time with each of them.  I appreciate so much that he is truly invested and committed to fatherhood.  He teaches so much by example how to work hard and how to serve diligently.  Happy Happy Father's Day Aaron.

Just for fun we made this funny card to send to mine and Aaron's Dads.  The ones online looked cooler, but it was fun all the same.  I've been thinking about my Dad today as my refrigerator has broken down and I am awaiting some repair person who is going to charge me hundreds of dollars for his wisdom.  Not only is my Dad capable of fixing EVERYTHING, but he is selfless in wanting to help people whenever he can.  I know if I wasn't thousands of miles away... he'd be here fiddling with my fridge and figuring out the problem.  I love that about my Dad.  He doesn't seem to have a selfish bone in his body.  I definitely struggle with that same quality.  I am selfish.  I'm maybe a bit less selfish though because of the example of my Dad.  I'm not a lost cause yet.  I do hope that someday  I will be more like him in that regard. 

Just a bit about my father in law as well.  Paul and my Dad are similar in their work ethic.  He is always working.  Working at the temple, working at work, working in his garden, working at the grill :)  He likes to keep busy and engaged in something productive and honestly that seems to be where he is most happy.  Again... I love to veg.  Way too much.  Paul is an example to me in that regard.  Not stressed or anything... just doing what needs to be done. 

I'm so grateful for these good men and fathers in my life.  Happy happy fathers day.
