My Hubs Birthday



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUBS!!!


You and grandson were so close when he was younger - you are a good man and stood in for his dad all the time. You went to all the events in his life.
Thank you.


Making snowmen - you were still there for him. 
Thank you.


When I was at the hospital having surgery.
You were there for him.
Thank you!



YOU LOVE TO FLY!  Our basement is full of planes.
You always wanted your pilot license, but we just couldn't afford it.
I'm glad you have this.





You were there for your daughter too.
Thank you.



You were there for your county.
Thank you.


You are a Vietnam Vet.
Thank you.


You are there for your son and his son.
Thank you.



And your birthday would not be complete if I didn't say you were there for Disco.
You love that mutt!



Okay I am sure you haven't seen this picture - but you are a cute moose.


I know you and I feel this way now - like we did when our kids were younger.


Just wanted to wish you a happy 71st birthday - if you ever find this post. lol   
Thank you for 43 years. 






Proverbs 4:23



23 Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

HA HA on him finding this post, each year I create one for Bob and when I try to show it to him, he says yeah yeah, or when did you take that photo.... Happy 71st to your hubby and you are blessed to have a husband who plays with his kids and is always there.

What a nice tribute to your hubby, Sandie. I am so glad he was there to be part of the kids' lives. Thank him for me for his service in Vietnam. Most of the men I see at the VA were forever altered by their Vietnam experiences.
Love to you- xo Diana
