Happy Birthday...

to this handsome guy!

He's funny, a hard worker and a good dancer-Ally

Dad's good at basketball, football and baseball-Brig

He plays catch with me a lot-Chase

He's nice and he gives me snuggly-bugglies-Brynn

He reads me books and dances with me-Sophie

He's nice and very funny and thoughtful and grateful-Brookie

He takes me on dates every week and helps me around the house...a lot. Very selfless and thoughtful of others. He is good at the yardwork, at exercising, at work and is a great Dad and husband. Todd writes me poems. He loves his family, riding his bike, running, raspberries, ribeyes, washing the cars and cleaning things.

We celebrated his birthday Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we went to the triathlon of Cory and Shannon, Todd did the run portion with Cory. Then we picked up birthday cakes, went to costco, spit shined the house and headed for Heber. We ate dinner at the Snake Creek Grill. It was tAsTy! I can't believe we hadn't been before. It has food similar to the restaurants at Sundance. Next we headed to the outlet mall at Park City. Sunday we had a nice breakfast. A big platter of fruit, waffles, eggs, cereal and toast. For the finale we had Todd's whole family over for a BBQ and cake and presents. Everyone brought food and we had a good time chatting. I hope you had a good day, we enjoyed spending it with you. We love you Todd!

My Ode to Dad by Ally Taylor

Today is a special day,

the day you were born

you really like to eat healthy

so sometimes you eat corn

i love you so much as you can see,

from the world's biggest tree to the world's smallest bee.

You are so funny when you dance a jig, you do hard work like hammer or dig.

I could never wish for a better dad. 'cause you are the best I could ever have had.

Thank you for all the hard work that you do,

And for being cool and playing sports instead of kung-fu. (I'd still love you if you did.)

Thank you again so very much,

I love to see you at breakfast, dinner and lunch.
