I love you, Daddy

-

I lost my Daddy on November 5th, 2019.  What a strange feeling to not have him here any more.  My Dad was many wonderful tings and many trying things, but no matter what he was always there for me.  I have learned so much from him and owe so many wonderful aspects of who I am to who he raised me to be through his example.  I didn't always appreciate or understand him, but I will forever be grateful he was my dad.  This world is full of imperfect people and my Daddy was no exception, but he has some pretty amazing strengths too. It is through his strengths that he has strengthened us, leaving us a legacy of laughter, love and family.

With sadness and gratitude I want to express to my Dad how much I will miss him here for the rest of my mortal experience. I always knew that he loved me and was proud of me. Dad taught me how to be generous, how be loyal, how to laugh at myself, and how to work hard. I love you Daddy. I'll miss you, but I know it isn't forever. I'm so grateful for the goodness of God to give us the Plan of Salvation and a Savior who loves all of us so much He gave us the gifts of the Atonement and Resurrection. I'm so happy you are my Daddy. 

Check out the wonderful, loving, wacky family Kevin and Mary Jane built together!

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
