60

In honor of my dad's b-day I want to write 30 things I love about him. I could write more, but I won't bore you with the details.

1. His spirit, he always tries to do what he thinks is right
2. His smile, he rarely does a smile where he shows his teeth, but I love it just the same
3. The way he teaches
4. The way he loves my mom
5. The way he plays with and loves my kids
6. The "just b/c" moments when I was a kid
7. His hugs
8. His cooking
9. His laugh
10. That he believes in me
11. That he supports my decisions
12. That he loves and encourages Clint
13. That he visits his dad weekly and helps them out
14. His love of the outdoors
15. That he took me fishing and backpacking when I was younger
16. That he served a mission
17. That he listens, or at least pretends to
18. His love of good music that he instilled in all of us
19. His love and generosity for others
20. His love of gardening that he tried to pass on
21. His willingness to work hard
22. His love of sports
23. His competitive nature that he defiantly passed on
24. His love of learning
25. His excitement for life
26. His hands
27. That I can still call him Daddy and he doesn't care
28. That he wanted to be with me when I had my children
29. That he was one of the first people to hold my kids when they were born
30. That when I need him for anything he is always there for me

When I was little my dad was a super hero, and he still is in many ways. I know the faults and I know he is not perfect, but he is the best dad in the world...at least I think so. I think that every child should think his dad is the best. Happy Birthday DAD and we love you!

Dad's Party

We all gathered on Saturday at my parents house for a B-day meal for Dad. Kory grilled, I made Potato salad and everyone pitched in to help out. Kolin and Dani brought the balloons and we all had a good time celebrating Dad's life.

Crawling

On top of all the climbing that Conner is doing he has started to do an army crawl. he knows how to do the normal thing, but he is faster and better at the scooting thing. His favorite place when we are upstairs is under the computer desk or under the chair. This kid LOVES wires! It's all I can do to keep him out of it. He also loves the bath. If he hears water going he makes a b-line to the bathroom and does what he can to get in. He is enjoying his new found freedom. He also figured out how to drink from a sippy cup. He thinks he is such a big boy now. I just love that he still always comes back to me and wants to snuggle up.

Chin

Last week we were at Clint's brother's house for a family get together. The kids were across the street playing in the neighbors yard when all of the sudden we heard this awful scream. Clint ran over there to see what was wrong. It was Kaily. She hit her chin in the handle of the see-saw when some other cousins sat on the other side. This is what it looked like two days later. Poor Kaily. She said it itched like crazy.
