Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We celebrated Gordie's birthday today.  It was kind of a crazy day.  We have had 17 inches of snow so far (and it is still going) so Daddy was not able to get the car out to go to work - seriously - and he drives a Ford Escape!  He worked from home.  No big deal.  For dinner I chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy.  We are all stuffed now.



Rebekah made the gravy.  She is getting SOOO helpful in the kitchen!

Nice writing, 'eh?  Saying this (rather than "Happy Birthday") seemed easier.  Gordie's response to the cake: "Wow!  Do you or the kids do the writing?"  Yep, he had to ask. 



Fun facts about Daddy:

*This year I put "tech guy" down for his job description on our taxes.  (Jokingly as I planned to go back and fix it later, but forgot to do so).

*His favorite meal (that I cook) is chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes.  (He likes to eat his with cream gravy on top and ketchup.)

*His favorite dessert is a toss-up between homemade brownies (my friend Karen M's recipe) and homemade chocolate chip cookies (his Mamma's recipe).

*He likes to work on cars in his spare time.  Right now he just saves us and his friends money, but one day he hopes to build (or rebuild) an old car (or several).  This is one of the driving factors behind the addition of our "monster" garage.

*Along the same vein as the previous, he recently lamented that our children are homeschooled (which is not set in stone for any pre-determined time, btw) as he wants to work with each of them to build AWESOME cars for them to drive to high school.

*He likes to play games online.  He has dabbled in World of Warcraft (well, we both did that for several years), Star Wars Online, Tabula Rosa, Dungeons and Dragons Online, a few others that I cannot remember, and currently plays League of Legends.

*He equates playing online games with playing real sports.  We argue about this regularly.  He claims he has to "practice" to play online games just like I used to practice to play college basketball.

*His favorite liquor is Grey Goose Vodka.

*This year I got him a remote control helicopter.

*I like him very much.

 

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!



Daddy being Daddy :)
