Happy Fathers Day to my Dad, Steven (Steve)!
Skilled - How many Dads do you know that can make this out of snow?!
Thoughtful - My Dad would do anything to make others happy, he is very generous. He loves his children and wants the best for everyone that crosses his path.
Enthusiastic - Whenever my Dad does anything it is done at 110%. He has a very bubbly fun personality and is an extremely hard worker.
Very Involved - I cannot think of one activity growing up that my Dad wasn't at. Everything from my High School Graduation to a T-Ball game or a dance performance at a retirement home. He was always there. He was also always there to talk to. His family is his world, and he does a good job of making everyone feel loved and appreciated.
Exceptional Father-I think this pretty well speaks for itself! :)
Necessary-I don't know what I would have ever done without the influence of my Dad in my life. He and what he teaches me, influences every decision I make to this day. Thank you Dad for loving me, and caring enough to be involved in both my childhood and now adulthood.

I Love you Dad!
Happy Fathers Day to my Father-in-Law, Bryant!
Best father-in-Law I could ever ask for - You always hear the horror stories about in-laws. I have been blessed to marry into a family that has taken me in as one of their own.
Reliable - If I ever needed help with anything I know I could turn to him.
Youthful - He still rolls around on the floor to wrestle and play with everyone. He is lots of fun, and is a great Father and Grandpa.
Always There - Nick's Dad makes a huge effort to be there for his family. You can count on him to be at every soccer game, graduation, or little family party.
Never Nasty - In the 4 years I have been around the Austins, not once have I seen anything but encouragement towards his children. He is very calm.
Thankful- Not only is he always thankful, but I am thankful to him for being such a wonderful example of a father to my husband. I am thankful to him for teaching Nick such wonderful values and ethics. His attitude and teaching has directly influenced my life and my child and future children through his sweet son. Thank you.
Happy Fathers Day to My Husband, Nick!
Never Selfish- Nick is ALWAYS thinking of others. He would give the coat of his own back to help someone out.
Intelligent - Nick is experience smart, book smart and all the other smarts out there. :) He knows a little something about everything. Not mention he works magic when it comes to computers.
Cuddly - He just is, and he is always willing to spend one on one time with me, even if he has a million other things to do.
Helpful - Very rarely do I have to ask Nick to help with with something. He is a very observant husband, and sees what needs to be done around the house. He also is very helpful with Kinley. She is 5 months old now and Nick has taken a very active role in her life already and will continue to do so.
Obedient - Nick takes the words/experience etc.. of his parents very seriously. He also has a strong testimony and is obedient to the commandments and stays true to the covenants he has made.
Lengthy - He is almost a foot taller than me, but I will tell you there is nothing better than standing on your tip toes to give that man a hug and a kiss. :)
Ambitious- He is a go getter, and makes the going and getting fun. (that is one of the most important parts.)
Spontaneous - I cannot tell you how many times he has caught me off guard doing something that makes me laugh, or feel special in some way.
All the things I could have ever wanted - practicably perfect in every way.
Understanding - Nick has never just told me to suck it up, and rub some dirt in it. He is always thinking of others first, what they want, and what will make them happy, even if he REALLY doesn't want to do it. I speak from experience. Not many husbands would paint their wife's toenails. :) HE loves his family and friends and would do anything to help or protect them.
Successful - Nick succeeds at everything he tries to do. He isn't a quitter. If he runs into a challenge he doesn't stop til he finds a way around it.
Taken - Thats right, he is mine. :)
Influential - Lots of people look up to Nick as an example and think he is the coolest thing since sliced bread, including his four younger brothers, my two little brothers, his daughter, and me. :)
Not at all what I expected - When I started working at Novell in 2006 there was NO way I was going to find ANYONE to fall in love with at a COMPUTER company....I still remember the first time I saw him though. White T-Shirt and jeans wearing a black Nike baseball hat. I was interested right off. :) Then I got to know the kid, and well, we will just say it didn't take long for me to fall in love with him. I still had NO idea how good life with him would be.
Nick,
You are a wonderful husband, and Daddy to our little girl! I cannot wait to see what life has in store for us!
Happy 1st Fathers Day Sweetie!
Love,
Katie
