Happy Father's Day!!

I once bought a brand new camera.
This is what I found on it after I left it on the table for five minutes.


I once bought a cell phone.
 I found a very similar picture on it.
I use it as the caller ID photo that shows up when my Dad, Greg, calls.

If you're really special you might have seen one with his big toe. 
that one makes you barf.

Now you all may wonder what this has to do with Father's Day.
It's just to show you that I have thee weirdest craziest awesomest Dad out there.

What kind of man do you know that is brave enough to re marry a woman who has six children.
Six Daughters! Two of which we're hitting close to those lovely teenage years.
Added with his five there were 10 girls.
He knew he was outnumbered.
He knew his Sanity would be lost.

I am grateful everyday for this man.
for his bravery
his strength
his courage
his determination
his faith
that allowed him to take on my family and add it to his own.

When your little you're told that girls often end up marrying men like their Dad.
For a while I didn't want that.
Then there was Greg.
He may have some weird idiosyncrasy's
Like:
Needing the driveway shoveled every time it snows(even just a little bit)
Needing to have a pitchfork to eat with at dinner
Needing to always have the remote even if he is just going to sleep through the show
Needing to whistle along to every song played on the piano
Needing to complain every time about the "unfinished piano song"
Needing to have his spits for every road trip no matter how long
Not wanting us in his bed warming up his side of it
His addictions to TV series that last about a week or so (sometimes a month)
Giving you only one rule at a time while playing a game
taking pictures of his fingers and toes just so he can watch your reaction

And I still wanted a husband just like that.
Because, 
He loves God and the Gospel
He honorably holds his priesthood
He is kind to my mother and all us girls
He loves all of us
He wants whats best
He never yells
and he's got a little twinkle in his eye whenever he's up to something.

Then I met Daniel.
and he's so much like my Dad 
that all I can do is roll my eyes
and hope that he doesn't start taking pictures of his digits on my camera or phone.

Happy Father's Day!
