Flashback Friday - Father's Day Style

I think I'll follow in my friends Stephanie's theme and do a flashback friday about Jacob and how good of a dad he is.
From my first dating Jacob, I knew he was going to be a good dad. His nephew was 6 months old (he'll be 8 next week... don't know how that happened) and Jacob adored him. We would often go over to Jacob's brothers house to hang with Dallin and Jacob and Dallin grew close.
So when it came time to having our own child, I was only worried that Jacob would be wrapped around her little finger the moment she was born. And while that did happen... he has been the BEST Daddy to her. When she was little she would light up when he walked into the room, she loved to watch football with him on Sundays (which allowed me to catch up on sleep)and overall just loved to be with him. And that has not changed at all! Kira loves her Daddy! She's still excited when he gets home from work and she asks about him all day while he is gone. Daddy reads books to her (better than mommy)-see post below for daddy/daughter reading time and they play together all the time! He is still wrapped around her little finger but I don't think I would have it any other way....
Thank You Jacob, for being such a good dad and a wonderful husband. It means more to me than I can say!
So in honor of Fathers Day... here are some pictures of Kira and her Daddy.


The first time he held her.

Watching Football with her daddy.... well she was... I often have this problem when I watch football too.
