To Carl
Happy Birthday, Carl! I can't believe you're 17! I hope you had a great day! I'm sad we had to miss it. But, next year we'll get to be there! I can't wait to live close to you again. I love you!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
You are the best Dad in the world! As a child you were never too busy to play with us. I remember Saturday mornings when you'd get up with us and make us waffles and build us forts made out of blankets. You taught me how to roller skate, water ski, and ride a bike. You taught me how to work hard. I don't think I've ever met another Dad who works as hard as you. I remember visiting you at job sites and running through the unfinished houses picking which bedroom would be "mine". I remember the many, many, many days of working in the garden and in the pasture. You'd build us a big fire to roast hotdogs for dinner. You took us camping and boating and I thank-you for all of our wonderful childhood memories I have. You were the most loving father I know. You would always tell me how much you loved me and would take me on Daddy-daughter dates. You were very patient. I've never heard a swear word out of your mouth. Thank-you for being such a great Father and a wonderful Grandpa to my children.
Happy Birthday! I hope you are around for many more! I love you!
Love,
Bubbles

The survey of Dean
1) Who is your role model? Most of my role models are family members...so this is tough, but I will say Lance Armstrong is one because he overcame so much and never gave up being a competitor.
2) If you could be an animal, what would you be and why?I would want to be a Kangaroo because that was my favorite animal growing up and in a 5th grade animal report I discovered a "roo" can stand on its tail to do a double leg drop kick like move. And they have convenient pouches to store neat things they find.
3) If you could be alive during any period of time in history, when would it be and why? This was a tough one for me, but i concur with JPG, that i would want to go back to when i was a kid. I would want to go play in our forts in the woods, and make forts in the dirt piles, and make squeaky forts from the couch cushions, and make giant forts in the big room upstairs. wow...i really liked forts!
4) What’s your favorite hobby? Playing Ping Pong, playing call of duty on xbox 360, speaking to ashley on the phone, pointing out every airplane i see in the sky and watching it fly as long as possible, and volunteering at the hospital.
5) What’s the most annoying thing you do? Sometimes I think I am annoying when i am impatient. My roommates think its annoying when I wake up really early and eat cereal. Ashley thinks its annoying when i sing songs i really dont know the lyrics to.

ANSWERS FROM AUNT KATHY
1.Who is your role model? My role model is Abraham Lincoln. Perseverance is what he was all about. I've had to have a lot of that for the last 32 years.
2) If you could be an animal, what would you be and why?I think I would want to be a dog. They have a pretty good life (most of them). I would want to be a compassion dog and have someone who depends on me. Think about it - you would be IN CHARGE of them, not them of you.
3) If you could be alive during any period of time in history, when would it be and why? Stacey and I have something in common. I would want to live during colonial times. But with a toilet and running water, electricity etc. No, colonial times really fascinate me. I love the architecture.
.4) What’s your favorite hobby? I love to garden and work outside. But currently I would have to say it's playing with Mackensie. Does that surprise anyone?!
5) What’s the most annoying thing you do? Um, I don't know. I think Ryan would say I don't listen to any one else when Mackensie is around. I think he may be jealous!!!

A real word from your mother
1) Who is your role model? I'would have to say one of them is Mary Fielding Smith. What an amazing strong woman of faith.
2) If you could be an animal, what would you be and why?I'd want to be Chub A Love..who has the best life to lay around, eats when he wants, works and hunts if he feels like it, and everyone, except Jeremy, likes him. That's the only part I don't want, Jeremy not liking me.
3) If you could be alive during any period of time in history, when would it be and why?I have to agree with Delee and say when Christ visited the American continent. What joy and peace to live in.
4) What’s your favorite hobby? At my age too many things bring me joy that could be a hobby. Going to lunch with a good friend, making a new wonderful recipe, reading a great book. But I wish it could be traveling with my family.
5) What’s the most annoying thing you do? Nothing, I know my children think I'm perfect! Just ask them.
