FATHER'S DAY

Our family couldn't ask for a more wonderful DAD! I couldn't have done this without you sweetie. You have been the best father for our family! How grateful I have been for your gentle, loving strength, your example of how to treat a wife, your faithful service in the Lord's kingdom and your priesthood power. You have taught our children love, tolerance, patience and service.

Manja's grateful list:

• Thank you for knowing how to fix EVERYTHING!!
  
• And how to build almost anything!!
  
• Thank you for teaching our children principles of righteousness.
  
• Thank you for the camping trips, the boating trips, and teaching Anne had to drive a manual transmission!
  
• Thank you for showing your sons how to use the priesthood.
• Thank you for helping us save energy by your constant, never ending, always consistent reminders of "TURN THOSE LIGHTS OFF!! and "ARE WE COOLING THE ENTIRE OUTDOORS??" (Energy Nazi)
• Thank you for knowing how to have fun with golf and basketball and racquetball and waterskiing and snowskiing and biking and hiking and singing and being in plays.
• Thank you for helping Taylor rebuild a go-cart engine and helping Daniel replace the breaks on his car while he is in Ohio and you are in Utah.
  
• Thank you for letting Manja have whatever color she wants on the walls in the house.
• Thank you for always being willing to kill spiders.
• Thank you for loving us!
  

You're the best Bryan, love Manja

We had a wonderful Father's Day this year. Everyone gathered at Manja's parents for a steak dinner (man food!!). Then we gathered at Bryan's parents' home to visit with them for a bit.
