Happy 60th Birthday!!

Today is my dad's 60th birthday! 
...I just want to give him a quick shout out.
08/12/1950 History was made
 Look at this BAD A@# dad of mine!
 Daddy, you're the best and I just love you SO MUCH. I remember holding your two fingers when I was little and learning how to ride my banana bike. I remember one time I was really homesick at Kristy's cabin and you drove all the way through the night to come get me. I remember when you taught me how to make homemade ice cream and tie boy scout knots on a camping trip.  I remember the roses you gave me at graduation and the lump in my throat when I danced with you at my wedding. I remember when Ashton and Lindsey pass the guest bedroom and say "papa!" (Oh wait they still do) I remember hiking up to the 'U' and touring Salt Lake. Or the many many times I still say, "yeah but I know my dad could fix that!" (just ask Shane...he remembers too) It's quite simple really-- no other dad lives up the the nickname "THE LEGEND" like you. And I know for a fact no other daddy has 'turk' hair better than you do at Powell, Captain! Just for the record, no other daddy in the world is loved more either!! Wish I could give you a big big bear hug on your special day!!!!!!
Happy 60th Birthday Fellas!

Yay! I'm so glad that I get to be the first comment on this post! I think that I just laughed out loud at the pic of Fellas in the black shirt with his arm up LOL. Your dad really is the best.

Happy Birthday Fellas, miss you!

Your Dad is so great, I absolutely love that he is a Motorcycle tough guy, but then is such a sweet grandfather (and father). It is an amazing combo. Happy B-day to Papa Crocker! And I will be seeing you and your lovely fam in a couple weeks!! So excited!
