Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to say thanks to all the dads out there. What a special day. I wanted to say thanks to the dads in my life.
First off, to my wonderful grandpa. This is the first Father's Day without him. He was an amazing person. Some of my favorite memories with him are dancing on his feet and having a 'green thing' every morning. One of my favorite days on my mission was the day that he came to visit me at the Liberty Jail.
The next dad that gets a tribute is my own awesome dad! He is the greatest. My dad is so much fun. In high school (he was our teacher) my friends would ask if my dad could come and hang out too (mainly for ghost tag or 007). Not many dads are as cool! I also really loved the time that we spent together in Europe. And I love the grandpa that he is to my kids. We can't thank you enough for buying the football tickets so we could spend more time with you. What can I say...you're the best daddy-o!
My father-in-law is also really great. He never meddles or gives unwanted advice. He is full of wisdom and will give great advice...but only when asked. You can't argue that quality. He is very calm and has passed his calm parenting onto my husband.
Last of all is my best friend and the father of my children. I love ya babe! He is such a big help. I really noticed it when he was gone on his internship to CA. He helps out so much. Our girls are lucky to have a dad like him.
So in honor of all the daddys out there, I attached a video of Emma singing what she calls "The Daddy Song." It is mostly me singing and her doing the cute actions. My mom taught her this when she stayed with us after Camilla was born. We were awaiting daddy's return from CA.

Very cute. It was so good to see you the other day. Now I'm depressed that I don't live near you though!

Jen!! I just found your blog on Joanna's and I am so happy that I did!! I love you girl and I seriously miss you so much!!! Sorry I am such a bad friend and I never call you. I really have thought a lot about you lately and have wanted to come see you and your new little one. She is beautiful and I love her name. That's crazy that Kevin and your mom weren't there when she was born! You are amazing! It has been so fun to look at everything on here. Both your girls are adorable! Let's get together soon, okay? My numbers are still the same. Email me, if you want, and I can send you an invite to my blog. libbyrobertson1[at]hotmail[dot]com
I know that looks weird but it is supposed to keep out spam email. Who knows if it really works though.
