Happy Birthday, Dad! We Love You! My Dad is "Awesome"(as Corbin says). My Dad and I have a somewhat unique relationship...we get along great! I always say I'm as much a Daddy's Girl as I'm a Momma's Girl, because I have such an awesome relationship with my Dad. I still to this day can call him up and tell him all my problems and he just listens. Then he gives me a few bits of Fatherly advice and gives me some insight that I probably didn't think about that helps me get over it or solve my problems. I don't know very many Daughters that have a great relationship with both their parents let alone their fathers, so I'm grateful I do! I have to say being the only Daughter has gotten me pretty spoiled. My Dad is very protective of all of his Kids and now he shows that same care and protectiveness to his Grand kids. He also is pretty good at spoiling them too! Of course my Boys Love Grandpa and love to tease him but mostly they just like being his Buddy and "going crazy" with him. We grew up with the phrase "going crazy". It means my Dad's going to go get a treat whether it's to the gas station to fill up the car or going to the grocery store or even going to grab some dinner. If he says he's "going crazy" then you hurry and get in the car and just enjoy the ride to where ever you end up. Because no matter where you go you'll have fun and get a treat while you're at it.
Grandpa and his Buddy C.J. Corbin was following Grandpa around as his little sidekick, as you can see anything Grandpa did C.J. had to do it too. This was taken in the yard of what we call the Escalante House. It's the house my Grandma(my Dad's Mother) grew up in. Every Spring and through out the Summer my Parents and and our Family go down and clean up the yard and have a fun little vacation going around the area. My Dad is a very hard worker. He never does a half job when it comes to yard work or working on someones cars, or anything else. He gives it all he's got and doesn't quit until he's got it right. My Dad is a great example to me and my Boys and I'm very grateful for all he's taught me.
This is the Escalante House. I've had the opportunity to go with my Parents and take my Boys the last few trips they've taken down to Escalante. Grandpa and Grandma always make sure we have a great time with lots of fun and spoil us rotten every time. I'm glad for all the great memories we make every time we go. This is probably my Dad's favorite place on Earth to be. I know he has many, many great memories all the way back to his childhood of this town and this house.
Here is one of the fun things we do often when visiting Escalante. This is part of Devils Gardens, a bunch of tall sandstone rock formations that you can climb all over. We often take a picnic and go climbing around for a while after we've been cleaning up around the house. When we took Corbin and Aidan there for the first time, Corbin wasn't feeling very well, but he was in heaven climbing the rocks with Grandpa. Aidan was sleeping in the car during this picture, but he and Grandma joined us later and we had a blast. Grandpa was so attentive to Corbin and stopped and showed him a bunch of cool formations across a dry river bed on another hill, it was way cute. I think Corbin made Grandpa a bit nervous with his "no fear" attitude and daringness to climb anything.
My Dad and his "Sweetheart", my Mom. Aren't they cute?! I know my parents love each other very much and I'm glad for their great examples and showing us that they do care for and love each other.
Another shot of Grandpa and C.J. Corbin got his middle name "John" from my Dad who's name is "John Claud". There for they both share the same initials and a name. We hope this will be always be something special for them. I hope my Dad knows we did this to honor him and hope he knows how much we love him. Since Corbin was the first Grandson we thought it was fitting to taken on part of Grandpa's name.
Grandpa loves his Grand kids to pieces and always shows them a good time when visiting.
My Dad! I Love You Dad! I hope you have a wonderful day because you deserve it! Here my Dad is watching the Drag Races in Vegas about 2 weeks ago. He along with Nate and my Brothers and a few friends and relatives, went together and had a great time. This is another one of his favorite things fast cars and if they are old classic muscle cars that's even better. He has rubbed this love for cars off on my Mom, all his Kids, and even some of his Grand kids....Corbin thinks are Jeep is a race car. And even though I have a lot of pictures of Corbin and my Dad and not many of Aidan with Grandpa, don't think that my Dad doesn't love his little Aidy just at much as the others. He sure does and they are great Buds. Aidan looks Grandpa up every time we visit just to say "hi" and give him "knuckles". He loves to follow Grandpa around too and is often found just sitting in his lap talking to him. I'm just a bad Mom that doesn't remember to take pictures of all the cute things they do together. Happy Birthday, Dad! Thank You for all you do for all of us! You're Awesome!!! Thanks for being my Hero! Love You!

That so sweet! What a nice daughter you are! We sure love Grandpa John too! One of my favorite things about him is how he always makes me feel like I'm his favorite (even though I'm sure everyone feels the same way) He sure makes you feel loved though!
I love it! I love the pic of your mom and dad on the swing. That is so stinking sweet! How cool...
