HaPpY FaThErS DaY!!!


I am a firm believer that a father has a strong influence on his children. As a child, I was always called "little Kelly" because I was so much like my dad. We like the same music, have the same taste in food, and the same love for the car business. I have a lot of great memories with my dad, but I especially remember the summer I turned 18. My dad and I were closer then than we have ever been before. That whole summer, I stayed by his side. My dad has always been and always will be one of my heroes, which is why I made sure that this Father's Day my dad was surrounded by his grandsons and his oldest daughter. Me and my kids drove to St. George Friday afternoon. We spent Friday at the outlet malls and the Fiesta Family Fun Center. On Saturday, my parents took the boys to the park while me and the teenagers hit the mall. Saturday night my parents, mykids and I met our oldest friends the Hintons at the pizza factory for dinner. It was so nice to spend Father's day with my dad. I really appreciated my dad growing up, but I appreciate him even more as a Grandpa. I also want to say something about my husband, Danny. Danny is an excellent father, he loves his family more than anything else. My boys spend 30 minutes everynight looking out the window, watching for their daddy to come home. The minute they see his car come around the bend, they start running and screaming "Daddy's home!" Danny loves all his kids the same, and would do anything for any of them. Danny is an awesome husband and I love him more than he will ever know, but the love he shares with his kids is something special. Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there, you deserve it!
