daddy of the year...

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my sweet husband, who is the greatest daddy ever! I am so grateful that I chose HIM, and pretty happy that he puts up with ME. Here are the top ten reasons he is the BEST:

1. He plays with our kids. REALLY plays.
2. He takes ALL of them to "China Town" (tickles them relentlessly) EVERY SINGLE DAY.
3. He is SUPER positive.
4. He reads parenting books and is always trying to better himself as a dad.
5. He thinks that the most important thing that he can do for his kids is to love their mother.
6. He provides for them, so that they can have their mommy stay home to care for them.
7. He brings them silly prizes whenever he returns from a business trip.
8. He takes them on "daddy/kid dates" regularly.
9. He tells them every day how lucky he is to be their dad.
10. He reads the scriptures, prays with them, and cuddles with them every night.
