Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad! Beckie and I have a pretty special Dad because he was born to be a dad, since he was born on Father's Day! Here he is with mom, he is always telling her how pretty she is & she really is :)

I have a bunch of fun pictures of my dad through the years. I like this one because he has been feeding birds (or attempting to) from his hand since he was 7 & his own Poppy taught him to. Dad always likes to have fun.

Fun in the pool with his best friend Luke! Dad throwing kids up in the pool goes way back.

Again with his best friend Luke.

Letting Luke feed him.

Meeting his grandson Luke.

Dad made up an imaginary dog (which is his hand) Dogelbee, when he was a kids. It's always a good time when Dogelbee shows up! He has bad manners though, Dogelbee has been known to pee on people.

Dancing machine, it is rumored that Dad invented popular dances such as the sprinkler and the law mower back in the 70s.

A Steve Minch classic, cutting in on the groom during first dances! (Brandon, you were also a lucky guy to get in on this!)

Dad with his other best friend, Terry.

I love this picture! Why wouldn't you be yelling like a kid on a swing. Notice Uncle Mike, this should have clued us all in to events that would occur later in the evening. Too bad we can't see Matt, we could have used a warning for his later adventures this particular evening!

Beck and Dad, huge geemos.

Matt and I visiting Park City with Mom and Dad.

A great old one! Dad and Grandpa fishing on Cat Island.

Mom, Dad, Beck and me at the Leaning Tower.

See? Way back, Dad throwing baby Beckie around in the pool. Before we were all concerned with e.Coli & swim diapers :)

Mom, Dad and baby Auntie (as Luke likes to call my baby pictures)

Dad and his beautiful mom dancing at his wedding.

This is a picture of dad right around the time he was in Ranger School. Those are some stories!

Uncle Robert, Aunt Karen and Dad as kids. The Minch genes seem to dominate, are Taylor, Kaitlin and I not clones of our parents. That's another post, but I have baby pictures to prove it.

And baby Steve. We are also so lucky to have my Dad. He is a great son, brother, husband, dad, uncle, Poppy & friend. Happy Birthday Dad! We all love you so much. Thanks for always making us laugh & feel loved.
