Happy Birthday DAD

I could have never asked for better in laws for myself or grandparents for Hettie than Larry and Krista. They are two of the nicest people that I have ever met in my whole life. Not only did I get the best in laws, but I got new best friends. Mike gets mad at me when I dont call Krista and Larry mom and dad, so I finally asked him the other day, Why dont you call my mom and dad, mom and dad. He said point taken. I wanted to tell you guys a funny story that happened at dinner last night. We went to Applebees for Larry's birthday dinner. It was the usuals, me, Mike, Hettie, Krista, Larry, my mom and dad, Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Eddie, and Courtney. Rebecca was at work. So we all ate dinner and it was time for Larry (DAD) to open presents. We get to my parents present to Larry and its one of those musical cards. So Larry opens it and its that song Rock aroudn the Clock. So everyone starts laughing and likes the card and passes it around. It went through every single person except me, I was the second to the last person to see the card. I opened the card and read the card and the card said,

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BABY! It was hilarious. I laughed so hard. No one at the table had even noticed that the card was for new parents and not for a birthday. Those little moments in life really make life enjoyable. I love both sets of my parents. They are awesome people!

Both of my dads being silly

Grandpa and Hettie

My little Hettie

What can I say about my little Hettie. She sure has grown up a lot in the past few years. I've always known that she was going to be taller than most kids, but lets be realistic, she is only 11 and is the same height as me. Is she going to get any taller? More than likely. I remember when I took Hettie to the doctor for a regular doctor visit when she was younger and the doctor told us that by the rate that she is growing she will probably be around 5'8" or 5'9". So we'll have to see how close the doctor is. Heather is keeping us very busy, with her playing softball and Maribel and I coaching and playing for the Modesto Ajax, we really don't have much time for anything else. My little Hettie's birthday is coming up. Its on March 27th. She will be 12 years old. We are having a birthday party for her at the park where we will play softball and kickball and soccer and have some relay races and bar-b-q, so it should be a lot of fun. I just want Hettie to know that we are soooo proud of you, you make everyday more enjoyable and you are always a pleasure to be around. Keep Smiling Sweetheart.
