Just like my mothers day post I have to do a post dedicated whole heartily to my Dad!! As time goes on my appreciation for my dad has grown more and more. I don't think I will ever understand or comprehend all that he has done for me. I really look up to my dad for standing up for his beliefs time and time again. He had a pretty good life growing up, but I feel that he really did succeed in his goal of giving me a better life than he had. Ever since I could remember I have been proud of whatever line of work my dad has done, inside and outside the church. Through his example he taught me to never give up and work hard in whatever I do. I am so grateful that he has honored his priesthood and temple covenants and that I am sealed to both of my parents. I know how to have a successful marriage and how to treat my spouse because of him. I really love and admire my dad and I couldn't have picked a better parent to raise me.
I also have the best father in law! I really do love and admire him as much as my own father. I have learned so much about life in the short time that he has been in my life He too has done so much for us. I am grateful that he is my father in law!!It is also neat to see the relationship that Caleb has with his dad.
I look forward to instilling the same values in my own children that my fathers have done for me! Happy Fathers Day!!!!!

Our Little One!!!!!!
Well we finally had our first official Dr. appointment yesterday June 4,2009. We were very excited since we knew we were going to be able to see the baby on our 4th anniversary. As a scoutmaster Caleb is very busy organizing the scout camp this next Monday and all I wanted from him was to go to the appointment with me. I am so grateful and happy that he took the time out of his schedule. He has literally been with me at every appointment since we started the trial of growing our family. It has been so nice to have him by my side every step of the way. I couldn't wait to see our baby on the screen and to my surprise I had to wait another minute for the doctor to find him/her. I think it was playing my favorite game as a child called Hide n Go Seek! As you can tell from the picture the baby was quite literally hanging around upside down. My heart filled with joy as we saw the heart beat and the arms flapping around. This is the 3rd time that we have seen the heartbeat and the doctor said we better not get used the idea of an ultrasound every visit because soon we will just need to hear it. I am so amazed at the growth this little one has made in 3 weeks and I can't wait till he/she is in our arms!!!
