HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARVIL!!!


This man is having a birthday today.  How many years is he celebrating?  Well, we can't really count that high, but I know the first digit is a 5.  February 21st is a good day to have a birthday.  A good day for a good guy.

He has been a great big brother to his wonderful little sisters.  It was fun growing up with a game playing, sports excelling, fun-loving, teasing, honorable and popular older brother.  I had a huge act to follow with him leading the way, and it was great.  He was the best big brother 2 girls could ask for.

He has been a fun uncle for all the grandkids.  They love to tease him and then get teased right back.  He is always up for a game of kick the can or steal the bacon or rummy or any other game.  And he will usually win.  He is a good sport and a handy man.  He is a spiritual leader and a shining example.  He is a helping hand and a hard worker.  He is fun loving and thrifty.  I think rumor has it he can still fit into clothes he wore in high school.  He is outdoorsy and a great white hunter.  He can chop wood, catch a fish, call an elk, skin a deer, trap a coyote, and track a pack of javelina.  He can crack your back, tell you a joke, fix your car, beat you in a foot race and send you a funny card on your birthday.

He is all that and more.  Happy Birthday, Darvil!  We love you!!!

Plus he is a great son who always made us proud. We were never embarrassed about anything he did. He was seminary president his Junior & Senior years, homecoming king, & several other things a parent wants to brag about. Great post, Beverly
