HaPpY BiRtHdAy DaD!

{My Dad's senior portrait}
On June 5th my Dad turned the big 60! My Dad is so much fun. He is always making us laugh, doing something fun or crazy, and always keeping things interesting! He has lived a really awesome life, and has the best stories ever. He grew up in CA surfing & ended up riding horses & being a cowboy. He is the hardest working person I know, he has a big heart & is very passionate! I am extremely lucky to have him for a father, he has led an incredible example for me. Here are some photos of him throughout his life...that I think are freakin' awesome!! I am so proud of having you for a father Dad, thank you for all you've done!!
Happy Happy Birthday!!!

That is the original Starsky and Hutch!!!! Sad that I remember that show...

Great photos. Your dad reminds me of some of Lauren's kids in his baby photos. The super cool plaid pants and porn mustache picture is hilarious.

Happy birthday Craig!

Actually i am working on a post for Chris. I need to pull up a picture and now I need to add Josh too. We have such smart men in this family. thanks for the genetics compliment! Like you should talk, look how cute your parents and the kids in your family are. Except for Ammon of course. He could use some grooming tips...

Only 28 more years until my kids say nice things about me. I am counting the days. What an awesome post about your family as a whole. I love the old family pictures. Good lookin' people.

You have the cutest family and I love looking at those older pictures! That last picture actually made me laugh out loud. Your dad is a stud.
