Happy Birthday to Papa!

This last weekend the boys and I went to Springerville for my dad's 55th birthday. Covin is very concerned about his Papa getting so old. We love my dad very much. Here are a few pictures I found really quick before I have to shower for school!


My brothers, sister, and dad....who knows why we would take a picture w/o my mom! Apparently it was pretty amusing!

My parents ALWAYS come to the kids' birthday parties....they make the kids feel special!


It is very rare to get pictures of him not sleeping!!! hehe!


My boys LOVE that he has backhoes and dump trucks. They could hang out with him all day. This was always one of my favorite past times as a kid!


My dad will hold the kids no matter how much they weigh IF that is what the kid wants! When the kids were babies he would walk them around for hours. They loved it!
My dad was in Mesa last week for some training. Shaffen and I took the boys for a fast trip to sell our car. (YEAH!!!) We had dinner with my dad at Texas Roadhouse!!! My favorite (Thanks to whoever told me how many calories are in the rolls and butter....now I feel fatter!!! ) Anyways, Saturday was my dads party. So I thought it would be nice to have a present for him. I asked him what he wanted he told me nothing he has everything he needs. I asked about candy, sodas, suspenders, toothbrush, ANYTHING......he said no to everything. So I told him, "Don't worry I WILL find something you don't have!" And just like magic.....A Portable toilet!!!! I knew he didn't have one of those! He turned all red....we were laughing so hard! I am glad he has a good sense of humor.....he is a crack up! And I think he learned his lesson! :) hehe!
No matter how old we get my dad will still do anything and everything for us. He is such a good person, father, and Papa to my kids! My boys LOVE him tons!
Every time he comes to town we have a list of things for him to do on our houses here. He is always ready to help us out. We really love and appreciate all he does for us. He is so great (did I already say that???!!!)! I hope he had a great Birthday and I am glad I took the time to come!
