Celebrating Pops B-Day

60th BDAY present to our POP

So your Grandpa, or Dad's Dad, better known as Pops turned 60 last week. For his bday surprise we made him a video with pics of his life and what he means to us and all his family and friends. I swear he can't go anywhere around here without knowing someone since he has coached for many many years. He even coached my Dad and then was my Coach and teacher of history at high school which I'm sure is crazy for him to think about since his son married me. I guess since my Dad had me at 17 and Pops had just started coaching is how that worked out the way it did. How funny but I never really thought about this til just now but my DAd was only in 10th grade when Josh was born. What's even more crazy is that when me and Josh started dating my Dad and Mom were both in their 30's. Yes that's how our kids have so many Aunt and Uncles the same age or not too much older than them. Lots of times there is confusion and questions but our kids think it is the norm and have never once asked why. I love how open our generation is about familly dynamic and not being so critical as it was when I was a child from what I can remember. So Pops had a great celebration for his 60th. Uncle J and STeph hosted a fun surprise party and all of his old friends, teachers, family, etc..were invited.It was a huge surprise. His face walking in was priceless. I made a video for his party and thought I would share here so any of you that didn't get a chance to see it yet could easily view it here. Just let me know if you want a copy. I loved looking at all his childhood pics because I could see so much of Josh and my kids too. I wonder what our grandkids will say or think about our childhood pics. I'm sure the quality will be something that we can't even process right now. Pops we love you for who you are, who you've been, and who you will always be. It's hard to believe that you have been such a big part of my life for over 13 years, that you were my teacher and boyfriend's Dad 12 years ago, and then became true family over 7 years ago. You have always been there for me and are so easy to talk to. I love our talks and especially watching you with the kids. You can tell how much they love and admire you from the moment you walk in the door. Their little faces always light up and they wait in anticipation until you arrive if they know you are on the way. Thank you for being more than a father-in-law and loving my Grandparents and siblings and really everyone in my family to think of like they are your very own family. I know Ashur, Autie, Jimmy, Raain, Luke, Savanna, my Dad and Shan, Mamaw Nellie, and so many others that come to mind thatjust love to be around you. It is nice to know that regardless of what vacation or who in my family is going that you can just fit right in no matter what. It makes for a very special treat going on a trip and getting my fam + Josh's! This is very rare we know and only works because of your ability to make others feel so welcome and can make the best of any travel arrangements. You are so accomadating to all and are a pleasure to be around. I remember my Papaw Calvin always saying how "that man, is a good man right there." And Nanny would always tell me how you were one of the nicest people she knew and how she loved you going to Branson with us so many years in a row. She use to say that there weren't too many good men like you left in the world and I promise she called it like she saw it believe me! She could talk your ear off and you seemed to never grow tired and truly listened. For that alone you will always be a gem in my eyes. Maybe one day me, you, and Josh can go play golf again. It sure doesn't seem like long ago I was on your Golf team in high school. Too bad cheering took up so much time although I did get a lot better once in college so you never know maybe there is hope for when I get older and get a free moment if that ever happens that is. Hard to believe how fast life goes by when you look at it like that because I still feel young and you sure don't look or act 60!! Now just in case if you are wondering your grandkids love for you here is what they said:Jackson says "Pops is the greatest Pop ever because he loves baseball like me and he is really really good at playing it with me, he helps me ride my bike, and he plays games with me, plus he takes me outside everyday on my playground(note:its not everyday but extra bonus pts for u that he thinks it), and I like him because he brings me home when I need him too, and he likes the same movies I like. He lets me watch Disney channel, he reads stories to me sometimes, and he ummm wraps the covers behind me, and um uh when I wake up in the middle of the night he comes in there with me and that's why I love him so much." This was his exact response word for word as I typed it as he was talking in response to me saying "what do you like the most about your POP? Just your fav would be great!" Of course he couldn't just stick with one thing so then I told him I think that about covered it:)! Bailey says "I love him because he is so nice, my friend, gets me food when I need it, loves on me, and is my POP." And if Brooklyn could answer the question I'm sure she would say close to the same thing and maybe say because you smile everytime you see me! Josh and I say because of your heart and love for others and The Lord. You are slow to anger, enjoy doing for others, enjoy life and put your family first. Happy 60th! Hope it was the best one yet and continutes to be full of wonderful joyful moments. You deserve them that's for sure. Love....all 5 of us! Copy and paste the link below to view the show.
