\nif there is one thing i do right as a mother,
\nit is to take my children to logan once a week to play with their grandpa.<\/p>\n

he celebrated his 50th birthday last week.
\nover the hill, baby.
\nwe used it as an excuse to put obnoxious signs all over the yard.
\njonah scored the honors of waking him up at 6 am + inviting him to his surprise birthday breakfast.
\nthis might be the only birthday secret i haven’t blown the cover off of. i’m pretty proud.
\nit worked out perfectly!<\/p>\n

i’m forever grateful that he taught me about fatherhood at such a young age.
\nhis example showed me exactly what to look for in a husband,
\n+ i cherish the relationship he shares with jon.
\ndad taught me how to work hard, be honest + to do what’s right.
\nhe supported me in\u00a0everything<\/i>\u00a0that i did while growing up + would do anything <\/i>for me now.
\nhe doesn’t need to be praised for all of the little things that he does for everyone.
\nhe goes the extra mile whether it’s noticed or not.
\nhe loves my mom, he loves his family, he loves the gospel + he loves sports! {in no particular order}<\/p>\n

this grandpa is the best underdoggin’ swinging partner in the history of cool grandpas.
\ndad lives for his grandkids.
\nhe is the king of slurpee runs, playing catch, making music, sneaking ice cream + never going to bed on time.
\ni mean, who would have kept the\u00a0four wheeler\u00a0around for all these years if he weren’t here?<\/p>\n

happy birthday, dad.
\ni love you more than a few silly words can describe.
\nit is an honor being your daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
