Happy Birthday BRYAN--

hunter brought his new truck over to the house to help celebrate dad's birthday..



gathering around for the ice cream and group hugs for dad on the birthday...bash two days before his birthday we celebrated








above are pictures of us In Provo on dad's birthday at the Basketball game and a pic of his new bike he got for his birthday--below are just pictures of flashbacks through the years...






























































































Happy Birthday Bryan--you have a great life to be celebrated!








Our top ten around the table at the birthday dinner setting and cute love notes and cards from myself, kids and grandkids included a 'shout out' for Bryan. Some of the things we appreciated about him were: *He's 'FUN'!!! *he works hard for us *tickle tourture time "tickle fights'--(this from the grandkids) *playing princesses and other games *giving good council, always being there *fixes things for others *watches out for us, *Good friend, dad and husband *great cook *example of church service (willingly) *swivel hip trick on the tramp
















I also appreciate that he: *takes in what others are saying, nods...*he is strict on keeping all the commandments ,which makes it easier for me to keep the commandments. *He reads books together with me and reads outloud to me.(the Book of Mormon and others). * He pitches in and helps with the work around the house, seeing a need and doing it. *He supports me in my crazy ideas and in my sain ideas too. * He makes others feel at ease with his quick sense of humor. ________________________________________________________________








I stapled all his cards together this year and made a little book out of them and put them in a running journal that I keep for him--that includes his personal and church services. He said he felt celebrated. We had a dinner Sunday and a treasure hunt to find his gifts. He had time to ride his new birthday mountain bike around to test it out. He had breakfast in bed on Tues -thanks to Hayley's initiative. Then he worked as usual during the day on his actual birthday then we went to Provo to watch in person the BYU basketball team-After eating the ever popular weinner boats. what more could you ask for (especially after the hotdog boats) ha.
