"Happy Birthday" to the BEST dad in the WORLD

I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know why I have the best dad in the world! He is someone who is always there and very supportive of anything and everything our little hearts desire! He is a very hard working man - he works hard to support and provide for family things that we both need and want, he works hard at home fixing things both inside and out so he have a nice functioning home and yard, he also works so hard in his church callings! No matter what it is it's important in his eyes and he always gives them his all! He is wonderful at fixing things and if by some chance he isn't sure how to fix it he'll try and have someone show him but not after trying to teach himself first. He loves to learn new things! He is so knowledgeable of the gospel and is a great speaker so listening to him give a talk or F.H.E. lesson is always fun! He is a spiritual giant with an amazing testimony and he honors his priesthood so well! It was so nice while growing up to have that spirit of the priesthood in our home! I loved the new school year blessings we got every year! He has a lots of wisdom and things he learned while growing up that he loves to share to help make our lives better! He loves our mom and shows it so well. He always insisted that we show love and respect for her as well.



I really admire my dad. He didn't have the easiest life growing up. He was the youngest of 15 siblings, 6 of which didn't live longer than a month and he lost his dad at the age of 8. They didn't have much money and had his first job by the time he was 12 and has worked ever since. A good Christmas for him while growing up was when he got both socks and underwear! I am very blessed to say that while growing up we seemed to be okay. If there were tight times us as kids could never tell! My dad does a great job providing for us and we have always had wonderful Christmas'.

Thank you so much dad for all that you do for Nate and I as well as the rest of our family! You are so cute with Chloee! You treat her like a grandchild! Thank you for giving me your sweet tooth! Thank your for all of your love and your example. I love you so much and hope you had a wonderful Birthday because you deserve the BEST for being the BEST!!!

Your dad is one amazing guy. I am so glad that Mike got a chance to serve with him in the bishopric. I know he learned a lot from him. He has also raised some amazing children (like you!)
