Happy 70th Birthday Daddy!!!!

Yes. It's true. My daddy turns 70 years old today. I know I have Christmas and baptisms to write about but those can wait! This takes priority! :)

My dad is the most wonderful person any child could want for a father. Sure he got mad at us and spanked us but we were kids. He would always apologize after he spanked us and tell us he loved us. When your bum is hurting from the spanking you really don't care about the love part but you appreciate it later.

So here is brief history in pictures of my dad, Alan B. Schwartz.

He is about 2 years old here. So January 1943. He's a cutie I know!

My dad at about 18 months. He used to have light brown hair. Now you know where I get my curls from. :)

My dad at about 5 years old. He's the one to the left on the shorter bike. He's with my Uncle Bob who is the one just older than him.

My dad around 8 years old. Yep this is how he looked when he got baptized. :)

I love this picture of my dad's family. He's the most handsome boy on the right with the attitude. :)

My daddy before his mission.

My mom and dad at their wedding reception in January 1968. They are a beautiful couple aren't they.

My dad is not holding me but I still love this picture. He is sleeping holding my sleeping brother, his only son. Just precious. He still loves babies.

My family before Sarah (my baby sister) was born. I'm the one rocking the awesome blue muumuu. Don't be jealous. My dad looks happy and my mom just looks....tired. Now I now why. 5 kids will do that to you.

My daddy and I on my baptism day. Again no need to be jealous of my amazing fashion sense. It's just me rocking the white knee socks and white sandals.

Mom and dad with me on my wedding day. Sniff!

My daddy holding my baby, Mikayla. Baby loves this picture. Mikayla is wearing the dress that I was blessed in. I love this picture.

And my dad being silly with my kids and cousin Emily.

I love my dad and my girls adore their grandpa. He is the best ever. They love him and his blueberry pancakes. ;)

Happy Birthday Daddy! Love you lots!
