Hi family-
just a reminder to give dad a phone call--or send lots of$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the mail for him- I'm sure he'll appreciate either one--or love notes....you know the drill...I'm writing this today just in case you read it you should have just enough time to get the $ or love notes here by mail (should you choose that option) (: He'll be home from meetings by 5 or 6 PM that night and one time breifly inbetween--I won't pick up if you call--just leave messages for him on the answer machine K/?
.I just want to make a post saying how happy we all are that he was born Jan 18, and how glad we are that he has been there to influence all of us. I've celebrated many birthdays with dad--counting the one when I called him at midnight when I was 16 I guess around 34 or so of them. I feel an overwhelming gratitude for him. raising you kids side by side with him has been a dream come true. Celebrating the life of someone is one of my most favorite "holidays" and dad's life is one that surely should be celebrated--"he's done a lot of good for a lot of people"--
some fun facts about when dad was born: (it would be more fun if we were all out to dinner and eating out to re-cap this--but lets give the blog a try)--
*he was born in the Heber City Hospital
*he had lots of black hair and so cute -cute --cute
* he had his dad there for this delivery to see him born (the only one out of 8 grandpa saw )
*he was only at his home for less than one year before his dad and mom moved to a new house (it wasn't long before he found them though)
*He was the fifth of eight children
*He had a wonderful and caring mom and dad--
so let's hear a big shout out for dad---and though we'll be scattered here and there (MTC, Virgina, Spanish fork and Mexico, and SLC) pause a moment that day and sing...This little boy had a birthday --this one sitting here...... Father in Heaven bless him --throughout the coming year!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you--Happy Birthday dear Dad......Happy Birthday to you...
