To the BEST DAD EVER!!!

I decided that because it's Father's day that I would take some time and post some great memories that I have with my dad and all of the reasons why we love him so much.

Best Memories:

When we were little and we asked him if we could go to ice cream to get double scoops he would always say, "In a blue moon." That meaning NO. One night I remember he made a scavenger hunt for us to do. Each stop was another puzzle piece. At the end of the hunt we put all of the puzzle pieces together and it was a big picture of a blue moon. Right away we knew that we were going to Thrify's to get double scoops!! Best night ever.

On April fools one year he sat all of us kids down and told us that he was getting rid of the TV. We were devastated. Best april fools ever!

I remember him slaving away in our backyard building us the most awesome swing set and jungle gym. One day when he was working it was pouring rain and he just kept going. It ended up awesome! It even had a 3 story swirly slide. He also dug a hole for our trampoline two different times.

I always remember when it was time to say a pray he would tell us to fold our baby arms, bow our baby heads, and close our baby eyes. When he wanted us to give him a kiss he would tell us to kiss him quick I'm double parked.

Both of these I now say to Jade daily.

He would stand on our diving board and lift us on his shoulders so we could stand and do a high dive.

He taught us all how to do flips on the trampoline.

I remember that some days he would let us go to work with him at Subway. We were able to make our own sandwiches and put whatever we wanted on them. It was the best.

I loved when we went to Colorado last year and we were able to see where he grew up and all the crazy mountains he has skied down. We even got to see the jail that he was in for a night. He was at the same jail at the same time as the serial killer Ted Bundy.(don't worry it was nothing too bad. He was just in there until his girlfriend could bring the fine money for having an open adult drink while riding his bike, he wasn't a member then)

He forbade the word CAN'T.

Dan's favorite memory: Staying up all night in Austria laughing uncontrollably at the stupidest things in a chalet in the Alps.

He came to pretty much all of our swim meets which was every weekend and all weekend long.

Taught us all how to swim and taught us all sign language

Why my dad is so awesome:

First of all he had to live with 8 women. He deserves major credit for that.

He is so talented. He can play almost any instrument, published 3 books, mastered editing and making movies, can talk his way out of anything, can also talk his way into getting whatever he wants, knows sign language and Spanish, runs a cool website, and can do pretty much anything that he tries.

Still plays in a band and has music on Itunes

Best skier I know (maybe second to dan ) :)

A very good cook (best fajitas, sushi, stew, and bbq chicken)

Can skateboard on his hands and with someone standing on his shoulders. (we had a half pipe in our backyard in Colorado)

Great at taking pictures

Used to rock a mustache

Best papa EVER. (that's what Jade says)

We love you dad!! Thanks for being the BEST EVER!!!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
