Father's Day

This father's day was extra special because it was Andy's first. He is a naturally good dad. and i'm not just saying that. i always knew he was going to be a good dad, because he was good with his nieces/nephews and the primary kids. but he continues to surprise me with how helpful he is with cohen. he helps even when i don't really need his help! he is great. i love my baby's daddy.


I'm also lucky to have such a great dad. he is fun, hardworking, busy busy busy, and sooo helpful.
Here is an example of how helpful he is: a few weeks ago my parents were houseitting our house (while we were in Utah). when we got home the house was spotless, and our kitchen was FULL of new groceries. Not just groceries, but NAME BRAND groceries (andy and i are big into the store brands). Pork chops, chicken, pizza, cereal, bread, soup, pop tarts, ice cream, drumsticks, and the list goes on and on...
he is and always has been a very busy man. Work, church callings, and traveling about 3 times a month has kept his life very hectic, but he still always makes time to do all the things he loves : family, vacations, U2 concerts, and going to the movies. I love my dad.




I only knew andy's dad for about a year and a half. But i really liked him. that's probably because he reminds me a lot of andy. especially his voice and feet. andy sometimes tears up when there is a sweet/sad scene on a tv show/movie and he always says "I'm turning into my dad!" Which is a good thing.
Andy has this shirt his dad is wearing in this picture... he plays basketball in it every Tuesday.

Jenny - saw your blog through the fitters, is it ok if I add you to ours? I just have to tell you that your little boy is so cute. He is getting so big, isn't is fun being a mom? I love all the old pics. I must agree that it is so great to have your husband be so supportive, I know I could not do it without Danny's help.
