One thing I love and admire about my dad is that he follows what he says and always keeps his word—he has a great sense of integrity. I know that he loves the Lord because he is obedient; he loves his family and others and shows it by action, not just words. But he is pretty slow. :) Love you, Dad. Ofa ke ke ma'u ha mo'ui fuoloa. –Aki si'i

I love my dad, oh yes I do. Why? More than a few reasons, but I list a few:

What a cute idea. I love reading your blog--I especially enjoyed your June quotes. When are you guys coming to St. Johns? Chantel and Claryce just moved back. Our grade has some serious homing instinct.
Oh, I'm so jealous! I really am. . . I would love to live in St. Johns. Is Chantel's hubby going to be the new dentist in town? What is Karson doing? Okay, I guess I should just e-mail you, since I have no idea if you'll ever see this. . .I still don't get this part of the blog. Do I respond to comments here, or on your blog?
Lindy - that is so funny you commented on my blog yesterday because my mom had me go to your blog that same day to see all of the pictures from Brigham's wedding. I love Martin Sexton, he is one of my favorites - he just did a concert in Utah in April and I had finals that night and couldn't go.
Hey- I just did a little catch up on your blog. I love the dad tribute- very sweet. And I am glad you survived Girls Camp. We are getting old and creaky...
And finally, I am really excited for you to be staying home with the kiddos. It is truly the sweet life.
Lindy, really cute tribute. I love the quotes from your kids the most. So cute. I'm defintely not a blog expert but my friends who blog A LOT usually will respond on the comments part of their page. I think it's just personal preference.

one day i will make my own pioneer trek to see my lost family in utah. hee hee. anyhoo, hotter than damn hell here in the valley. keep up the quotes and get sym on board with the blog thing at least to post pics of nina and satchel for heaven sakes. also, how is cam doing in lemon grove? i tasted some of the food and it was not half bad. i was even surprised. the room was like a retro elm motel'ish feel. peace and love
Mindy, I wish you would come to Utah! It would be great fun to see you. I'm glad I'm not in the valley roasting away, though I would love to come for a visit and see all of you. I will try to talk Sym into the blog thing (or I'll post pics of the kids for you, at least). Haven't heard from Camie...i need to write her.
