Father's day is this weekend and I need to give a shout out to two fantastic father's; my daddy and my hubby!
My dad is such a truly wonderful and sweet man, Hes almost like the gentle giant! HA! Let me give you a little tidbit on why my dad is so wonderful and why I have so much respect for him. He worked soooooooo hard to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, and I remember every Christmas, ofcourse being the typical kids we were, we wanted what we couldnt afford at the time and didnt really understand the whole "lack of money situation". But every Christmas morning when we would wake up, there it was; the hot red lips phone I'd always wanted, or my cool new stereo, or those guess jeans that all my friends had. I KNOW he had to work an extra job or just not pay a bill that month in order to get some of these things. Although he did not HAVETO do that, I know it made him happy to know he could and the smiles it put on our spoiled faces! He loves his family, he loves being with them, He loves when everone is happy and content and will do what it takes to see that happen but also taught us to have fantastic morals to be ourselves and not let anything get in our ways of doing what we set out to do.
My dad is halarious! When we were kids, he useto tell us all sorts of tales as we walked around the neghborhood or went anywhere and had us believing these tales and we would carry these around with us for years ofcourse until we got older and relized "NO WAY!" HA! He useto play hide and go seek with us in our basement with all of our friends after school and pretend he was a monster of some sort because the lights would be off and he would scare the crud out of us and it was such a blast!
I was addicted to my barbies until I was 11 yrs old, and my dad built me the biggest best barbie house EVER!!! he actually put real carpet in it and made all sorts of roms and such, it was Awesome! I kept that thing for so many years after I stopped playing with barbies because I just didnt have the heart to get rid of it.
My dad invented things over the years that some would say were "interesting" but we loved his inventions and thought he was so creative, he was just way ahead of his time! =) He made this funky cool chair that we called the mushroom chair, it was invnented to be more like an early ergonomic chair but never really got finished. So what does he do... he plops two snow skies on the bottom of it and sends us off to use it like a sled! and may I say it was the fastest most comfortable sled ever!
I could go on and on with these stories, but why dont I just end it by saying I love my dad and think he is a great father and role model and couldnt have asked for a better dad! I love you daddy! now here are some pictures of my dad passing on his wisdom and geekiness on to his grandchildren!....
