The Big 5-0

The greatest daddy in the whole wide world

turned 50 on Sunday For those of you trying to do the math,

yes that makes him a young dad.

We are 20 years apart (I'll be 30 in January)

Last month we gave him his big present

a shiny new smoker to make us yummy food in.

For the big day we met him for breakfast

and then

took him for a surprise dinner a

Texas De Brazil.

All you can eat meat on a sword..

Sign me up!

It was beyond delish!!!

(Buddy even sat in a high chair)

Chuck got to hang out with uncle robbie.

Bub loves this baby waaaaaay much

i don't think he had any idea how much he would love him

it's sweet

One of the things that really surprised me about being a mom

was how much i would love watching my

parents love my baby.
My dad loves Jack in a way that is out of this world.

he says that every morning is like Christmas for him

when he gets Jack out of my car.

Thankful is not a good enough word to explain

how i feel about my dad.

Grateful.. still not enough...

Blessed.. yes

Loved... without a doubt

Cherished... everyday of my life

Daddy's Girl... still am

My dad shaped my soul with his kisses

Protected my heart with his unconditional love

I never had to be the pretty girl with daddy issue.

I knew, know and will always know that my dad loves me

i love that jack gets to know that too.

that his sweet face and toes get PopPop kisses everyday

that that they will take Grampa, Daddy and Jack fishing trips, roll in the mud,

and do boys things together.

Dad..

A son's first hero

a

daughter's first love

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!
