Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my poppa's birthday!  He is almost half a century old, but not quite.  Haha.  Anywho, here is my dad.  He is pretty awesome!  Yes:

Fishing for my 12th birthday

 Goodbye pictures with Sarah, before she entered the MTC

 Fishing (again!) For my 13th birthday  (I love fishing)

Lookin' cool in sunglasses:)

 Helping Jake with the tiller.  He loves gardening

 Pointing in Monument Valley.  Yes

 Monument Valley

 Him and the Wife at Cliff Palace in Colorado.

 Pictures in the Canyon

 Him and his manly mooscles (said in Russian accent)

 Just looking good

Yep.  This is my dad!  He is awesome and I love him so much!  He is a spiritual giant, he loves my mom, he loves me and my siblings, and he loves the Lord.  He has a strong testimony and a firm handshake.  He takes me fishing every year for my birthday, and he loves nature.  He has taught me how to work hard and plant a garden, and he has been a great friend as well as Father.  I can't think of a better guy to be my dad.  I love him! Happy birthday (yesterday) Dad!
