Dinel Dan--The Man

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST HUSBAND AND FATHER EVER!
So here's to the best YOU!
Remember the Snowbird Ski Days, our wedding and GRADUATION!
Then came the kids. Wow did they come fast, you always made sure
you were a big part of their days.

From Backpacking young and old
to the tops of mountains and far below

Vacations: Near and Far

When all were screaming or sleeping in the car
To endless hours making sure they all could swim, to tree houses and zip lines,
and beautiful gardens galore.

Then there were snowmen and skiing, where even the littlest ones

succumbed for a day of Daddy fun.

You relaxed with "Y" football, B-ball and Ultimate too then
Relaxing with friends tried and true

You LOVE biking and brothers

and teaching fishing to others

You filled years with Scouts, (and even Young Women) Young Men and touched hundreds of lives.

Why is it that the boys all look the same age and you, Gordon and Lee just keep getting older? Do you realize you have been in serving the youth, mostly in scouting for 27 years. I am IMPRESSED!!!

and became fisher-hunter-man EXTRAORDINARE!

and when we could get away, we loved our truck even when old to take us to the mountains we loved
So we hope you have an AWESOME birthday and know we all LOVE YOU!!

From the looks of these pictures, you've never actually set foot inside.

If only it were true.

Lavon,
Not sure when we are moving back, but I really thought of you alot when I was making these last few quilts. Its not the same quilting alone! As for letting go of perfection...? I am not sure about that one! LOL!
