Happy Father's Day to all the DADs in my life!


There is nothing more special than seeing a Dad love his daughters like my husband does. Now being on the Mom side of things, I understand more how much my Daddy loves me because of how my Tyson loves our little girls. Thank you Tyson for being the best Daddy to Alissa and Hannah. They adore you. Thank you for wanting to spend time with them, making the Gospel the center part of our Home, and making me want to be a better Mother and companion to you!

There is nothing more special than a love for a Dad. I DO have the most amazing dad in the world that I have always looked up to and admired ever since I was a little girl. Still to this day, he is definitely the only one who can really make me cry (in a good way!) He is the most supportive Dad, is always giving and offering to help, and making sure we are taken care of. Memories of my Dad are pretty much summed up in a few short phrases, family devoted, boating lover, patient, and the BIG EASY!! My Dad and I have such a special bond between us, like any daddy daughter relationship does! I am so lucky to have him as my Dad.

I am a lucky girl to have such a wonderful Father-in-law. I have known Tyson's Dad for many years now...ten...and he had a way for making me feel so welcome in their home and for bringing out the fun side of things! He definately is the biggest tease I have met, can tell the corniest jokes, and likes to have lots of fun! He is so much like his Son, which is probably why I loved Dave from the very first day we met so many years ago.

Alissa and Hannah have only two living Great Grandpas, both on Tyson's side of the family, Great Grandpa Smith and Great Grandpa Croxford. Luckily, Alissa was able to meet her Great Granddad Wirthlin before his passing. But each of these Grandpa's in our lives mean so much to us and we have great memories with each of them. Their lives are great examples of how we want to be when we reach that age, so thank you for your influence in our lives.
