My Dynamite Dad turned 65 on October 24th, 2010
It was an honor to get the family together to celebrate his special day.For, without him, none of us would even be here.
(Fun aside: His cake was decorated to look like a Hostess cupcake...he has eaten one in a brown bag lunch at work every single day for 40+ years! I love that he has been humble enough to take his lunch to work for all those years...that must be how he afforded to send his 5 kids to college! ha!!)
My Dad and I have a ton in common with one another...here are just a few:

We get up early and spend time in God's Word daily
We are extremely determined and almost never give up

My Dad's number one passion next to God & Family...RUNNINGHe has been running for decades, & doesn't just do it for fun...due to the above mentioned love for a challenge, he runs races. And I must brag on his latest accomplishment ~ he placed #1 in his age group at this year's Tulsa Run. GO DAD!! :-)

My Dad has fearlessly led our family & has been an awesome example for each of us!
He coached many a sport, fed many a mouth, but most importantly, led us to the most significant truth of all...to Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength.

Katie, Happy Bithday to your Dad but of course he is still up and at 65. I have you know Missy, us mid-sixties can do anything you young ones can do, except, oh well, I'll let you find out for yourself. :)
I meant to say "still up and running"
