Dad...Dad....Daddio


Happy Birthday to my marvelous Dad! I love my Dad so much, he is the bees knees as far as I'm concerned.




He is so supportive, wise and awesome - our family vacations are always such a blast with my Dad at the helm. Most of the pictures I have of him are at Lake Powell. That Lake is so special to my Dad, it's his Heaven. Powell is always a blast because of him. He is the first one to jump in the water and did I mention he can wake surf like a champion?

















He worked so hard to make sure we had a fantastic childhood and even though we're all grown, he still likes to sit down with us and build rockets.


Holidays with my Dad are the best - he has probably changed the lyrics to every Christmas song and when I listen to them I can't help but hear his version in my head (one of the verses for 'O, Holy Night - "The thrill is gone and now I have four children..."). He's a great sport with our obsession for Halloween and he has always made our Birthdays the most important day in the world. He is just a big kid and is second to none. So fun, so young, so hilarious and the best Dad a girl could ask for. Thank you for being so golden, Dad! Hotdee Birtdees!

I'm so fascinated by the whole "adore my dad" thing----how lucky you are! My dad was an abusive jerk and still isn't the nicest man.

But Happy B-day to your dad!!
