Happy Birthday



My dad would have been 70 years old today! I remember that he loved FM100 (the old station that only played instrumental music), driving fast and crazy (often with his knees or telling his 12 year old daughter to take the wheel for a minute), and artificial Christmas trees (is 12 to many?)! The last time I saw my Uncle Mark before he died he told me that my Dad sure would have loved my kids. I agree! I think that they would have loved my full of life Dad.

Jer and I were just talking about how dad would have been 70 years old. And yes, he would have been a great grandpa.

Great photo! I talked about Dad in my RS lesson yesterday because it dawned on me that it would have been his 70th birthday.

12 Christmas trees was not too many - you never know when you might need another one!

What a great picture and such a funny story about the christmas trees and driving the car. It's never too soon to start driving lessons right?

Update your blog. I think the kids are a year older by now.
