Happy Fathers Day!

Today is Fathers Day and I wanted to let my dad know how much I love him. I decided to do a tribute to him and remember all the great things about my dad!
FAVORITE SAYINGS:
Were you raised in a barn?
Hello?!!?
Hide the bread!!!
I love you!
You are my favorite daughter Kandice! ( Ok he never has said that, but it sure sounds good!)

FAVORITE MEMORIES:
*When Misti was changing her oil and it spilled all over the place and at the same time I was putting up my awesome pool and it flooded the shed while my dad was in between it all and man you could see the smoke and fumes coming out his ears. Aint girls fun Dad!
*When I would come and do the "universal" and jump on his bed.
*When he would take us to the school and play on the scooters and then take us in the library. I thought it was so cool to be in the Bloomington school.
*Bringing him home messed up milk shakes from Charlies and eating them together at 11:00 pm.
*Watching him rototill the garden while I sit and eat a Popsicle.
*Having him help me with my homework especially math and I hated it!
*When Dad was put in the St. George temple presidency and he was able to seal Dave and I together.
*When I got to see him for 7 hours in Nauvoo before we had to leave to pick up Emmie
*When he was able to come home and seal Emmie to Dave and I. That was such a neat experience.
These are just a few of my favorites about my dad that I love! Thanks for being such a wonderful Dad. You have always been there for me. You are the best! I love you lots and lots!

Dave:
What a great dad he is to Emmie. It is so much fun to see what a great dad he is. He loves to give Emmie horsey back rides and loves to dance with her. He teaches her Spanish and English. Thank goodness he is a teacher! He is a great teacher and husband. I love him tons and tons!

Daves dad:
What a great man he is. He loves his grandchildren and children. He will do anything for anyone. He loves his mini farm or at least loves it when his grandkids or children come and ride his horses and milk the cows. He is a proud Grandpa and Dad! I love you lots also!

To all the Dads or soon to be dads out there, HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

My little pioneer

Dave went on a Pioneer Trek this last weekend. He grew out his hair a little longer than usual and grew a full beard just for the trek. On Wednesday he left for Fredonia to get his horses and cows and then on Thursday he headed up to Enterprise to meet the youth in our stake for their youth conference. He said that it was great except thy were really short on food. On Thursday after taking care of the horses he went to get some food and it was all gone. So to bed he went on an empty stomach. He taught the kids how to milk a cow and he also got to be the mail deliverer on his horse. I guess they really got to experience what the pioneers really felt like. I am sure glad that I wasn't a pioneer back then. It is nice to have my husband back again and him looking like him self again. (I am sure the cows and horses were glad to be back home as well.) We cut Dave's hair and he shaved his face bald. He looks like a totally different guy. What a great man Dave is and I am glad he is my husband. High five to Dave, oh, and i guess a kiss too!!!

This before he left for the trek

This is the day he got home

What he looks like now!!

catch-up

Just to catch you up on life. Sorry Sisters in St. George for not being on top of things and changing my blog. I will try to do better.
Yesterday was my birthday and it was a great on. Turning 27 is great I guess. Dave gave me breakfast in bed with my favorite, French toast with whipped cream and strawberries and also a sausage and fried egg. MMMM it was delicious. Then we went shopping and bought something for Emmie of course because she is the princess at all times. Then later on in the day Misti took Emmie while Dave took me on a motorcycle ride up to Kolob. Man did my butt fall asleep but it was fun. I love it when bugs splatter all over my face and teeth. It gives me more protein in my diet! Then we met Misti and Todd and family with Emmie, and Tiffani and Kory and family, at the lake. We had a BBQ and swam and the boys went fishing. It was so much fun. Emmie especially liked the Birthday Brownies. She thought those were the best, so did I. She defiantly is my daughter! Chocolate!!!
Here are some pictures that I have taken in the past.......



Emmie at the St. George water park with her cousins Tanner, Luke, Porter, and Khloee. Look at Payton thinking about something on the side of the water in the background. Or maybe he is dreaming of being a model or fashion king!
















Check out this cute blond chick! Khloee at the water park. Emmie LOVES Khloee when she isn't sitting on top of her! :)
