I love Dave so much. He is so happy and it is contagious. I am so lucky to have him and he is the best dad. My kids almost always pick him over me, which is fine . They think he is halarious and they laugh at almost everything he does. He teaches them so many things I wouldn't ever think to teach them and I love that. Happy Father's day to a great father!
Side note: A lady in my parents ward came up to me last week and said that my husband Dave reminded her so much of my dad. I realized that this is so true! I married someone who has so many of the same qualities that my dad has. They are alike in so many ways and I think that's cool. Happy Fathers day to all of you Father's out there. Dad's are the best.
Give your dad a hug this Sunday.

Love your Fathers Day tribute!!!! You do have an awesome husband and it sounds like you have a wonderful father. you will have to teach me how to do the favorites. I love the left hand columns of your blog. Chat later
Cute! Love father's day. I love the picture of your husband with your kids..hope that's hanging up in your house! How fun that you live in San Francisco! I've always wanted to visit there. My mom has always said that that's her favorite city! Yes, I LOVE living on Maui. I love everything about it. We live in Lahaina! How fun that you came here! I assume you stay home with your children? Chat later!
D! Both such handsome men! They both adore you and are very amazing people. I think that is so neat that someone compared Dave to your Dad! Nothing could be better. You and Dave seem so great together! Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dads!!!
Great post Denae! I think the world of your Dad and Dave! They are so great and I am happy that you have them! I too, love dads and husbands!!! They really are the best!
What a nice tribute to the important men in your life! After such wonderful examples to follow, I'm sure Logan will grow up to be an awesome dad someday too! As a funny aside - I'm positive my boys have no idea what has to happen to actually become a father. Maika and Kai will argue about who is going to be a dad first, and Maika claims he wants to be a dad when he's ten . . . hmmm. I hope not! But I think it's cute that they love their dad so much that they can't wait to be one . . . :)
I love your post denae! I am getting ready to do a "Dads" one too. I learned a few new things about Dave! I am so glad you married him and that he is in our family- he truly has such a sweet heart and he IS always happy!
We lucked out big time to have Dad! He rules and is the best! I love the pics.
Holy Cow Denae...I just was at my friend summer thacker's web site and saw a comment from someone named Denae...I just clicked on it wondering who that could be and There was a huge picture of my former bishop and favorite walnut creek family...the blodgett's. What a great tribute to your father. I think he is pretty cool myself. Your web site is adorable and I can't believe you already have 3 kids. You are amazing. we are just having our 3rd baby in October. Where do you guys live??? We are down here in orange county not to far from summer T. Email me is you ever get a chance, I would love to hear how your family is and have you tell them I said hello. All my love-

Great post, Denae! What awesome dads you have in your life. Hope you have a great Father's Day weekend.
You have two special Dads in your life. I've known the "old" one a long time and I love him dearly. The "young" one has grown in my heart and I love him because he loves you.
thanks for the nice comments , denae. i love you too. two observations -- i was senior ball king and dave has 10 more line items than me. i counted.
Dadders! I totally forgot you were the king too! And I didn't count the items per person, but I should have. Next time I will.
That was very very sweet! What a blessed life!!
