Happy birthday dad! 2010

This year for your birthday, we had planned to put together a memory book in honor of you. I don't think it ever happened, but it sure made me think of all the fun memories I have of you. Here are just a few:

Memories:
Snoring like a pig
Buying sony tv
Rubberband ponytails all over your hair
Practicing soft ball with you 
Coaching soft ball team
Daily joke/advice at shadow brook bus stop
Proud to introduce me as your daughter 
Early morning swim meets while still dark 
Priesthood blessings and many fathers blessings 
Rescuing me at 1st car accident 
Saving me when tire blew out on I-15 in draper ( no questions asked)
Driving us back from car accident in dr George 
Kidding good bye on head 
Eating all my crazy cooking experiments 
Pretending you didn't see me when lying outside bathroom door- tripping then tickling me 
Horse riding on your back 
Jumping from top of stairs into your arms 
Listening to your old school records and singing along 
Your thank you's to the door bell ditches and toilet papers 
Forgetting me at seven peaks in the winter weather, but giving me a warm bath after wards 
Always wanting to attend our mutual activities and youth firesides 
Trip to wills pit stop for kit kat before vacations
Engine blowing up on way Indiana and thinking you were injured, while waiting across street in store/ hotel?
Missing seeing me off for first date with nick warner and coming to ottavios restaurant to see me( I was glad you did)
Papa bear hugs 
Calling me little bee and brooker countless pickup and taking to dance, gymnastics and cheer practices 
Attending performances and competitions 
Telling me in family room that my skirt was too short to be modest 
Asking your opinion on fashion 
Showing me your love for gospel and scriptures 
Always wanting to make you proud 
Giving me help and support after highschool
Showing me love and respect you have for mom 
Telling me how cute I was in college always knowing you loved me
