Dad to the Bone

D is for Daddy who loves me so much.
A is for An Awesome dad who builds stuff.
D is for Days he spends loving me.
written by My Boy, age 7
My favorite thing I like to do with my dad is go for long mountain bike rides. It is fun when we play baseball catch. I love him because we both like to watch Man vs. Wild. When I grow up, I want to be a civil engineer like my dad. It's cool when he takes me surveying and I get to ride the quad. He is really nice.
Facts about Hubby...
Favorite drink--diet Pepsi and Coors Light
Favorite outfit--Levis and a tee shirt, or cargo shorts and tee.
Favorite baseball team--Oakland A's
Fave Football team--Raiders
Number he chooses for any sports jersey--#19
Number of #19 tees he has--probably 20
Drives--a '69 El Camino or '94 Explorer
Enjoys--working in the garage, building things, fixing bikes
Hobbies--mountain biking, reading history-type books, playing with the kids
Dislikes--losing his keys, spending money, wasting time
Fave Meals--BBQ Tri-tip/chili beans/salad or pork chops/cream corn/rice
Thanks for being the best father to our kids, we all are so lucky!
