He FINALLYdid it!!!

Well my Dad finally took the plunge, he actually retired! It has been a long time coming because all of us have been hearing that he was going to do it for years. I'm so happy for him and it is something that he deserves. He has worked so hard for so many years that it is time for him to take a break and take some time for himself. I'm so proud to call him my dad, he is has taught us all so much. He such a great example of a hard worker and taught us all growing up how important it was. Thanks for Dad for everything you have taught me. I LOVE YOU! We had a fun little party at Landon's Mom and Dad's for him. We had Prime Rib, baked potatoes, and pink lemonade pie. It was so delicious!
Everybody getting ready for dinner
Jayleigh of course had to help him!
Then Shelly, Landon and I made him this candy bar poster. I think that it turned out really cute.
On Sunday we BBQ'd hamburgers outside and it was such a nice day we ate outside. It was so nice to be able to outside. Well Landon was eating Reese's Klondike bar and Jayleigh thought it looked good as well. Landon couldn't eat it all so he gave the other half to her. Here is the end result.
See how happy it made her? Priceless, even if it was REALLY messy!
Call me weird but I love this picture. Just look at those filthy little chubby fingers.

It's hard to believe he really did it. It seems so weird not to have him at the school.

That is so exciting for your Dad! It's kindof funny cause my dad just retired last Saturday from the Prison. They did it in the same year! My dad is working at the jail in manti now though. Hope your dad get's a nice break! Jayleigh is soooo adorable.
