Flip Girl!! Do you got Beans for brains!!!?
Jac he did that too!!!! hahaha everytime I had problems in the lady area Dad would be at my rescue... well he would look like he does in this picture... kind of rolled over hoping what I was asking wasn't true but when it came to it dad would be at the store getting all my items I needed! One time he took me to my Shriners appointment and we were sitting in the waiting room when all of a sudden it hit!!! The worst cramps I have ever had I had to lay on the waiting room chairs!!! Dad said, "hold on I will be back!" He left the hospital and like 30 minutes later he was back with a bag of feminie products!!! Who does that! I love it
This is memory that almost put me in my grave but it ended up being hilarious!!! Right before Monkey and I got married, my cousin Todd and I decided to do one last music video while I was single!!! hahah So anyways we needed my dads truck cause it was so snowy and his truck worked the best in the snow... but really it was because it had a really good sound system! I begged him!! He was way nervous about letting us use it cause when Todd and I get together we usually end up breaking something! Finally he let us use it! We were stoked! So we were doing our music viedo outside whe the camera ran out of batteries... we left the car on hte road in back of our house and ran in for honestly 10 minutes and started fliming! Oh the video turned out great!!! we were so proud till we got back in my Dad's truck! Todd tried to start the truck!!! GRIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD........ THE WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN!!! When we put it into drive it grinded the tire!!! MY HEART SANK!!!! I am a dead women!! "TODD! "i said "did you turn on the four wheel drive?" YEAH Todd said freakin out!!!! IT WAS BROKEN!!! we ruined my fathers truck! Thoughts flew through my head... I GOT TO GET SOME MONEY AND FAST! So we thought of a plan.... MY WEDDING... i won't get a cake i'll make it, I will only have water, I will return my dress and find a cheaper one, I will take back the brides maids shirts and they can wear whatever... there was like 600$ WONDERFUL! I wrote that on paper and was going to give it to him!
We told my Dad what happened and told him how we didn't know how it happened, maybe the 4 wheel drive.......... WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! I have never heard such a loud voice in my life! I almost fainted. He made us take him to the truck and he was saying things I don't even know! There was the truck.... FLIP MAMIE!!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKIN!? THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK IS BANGED UP!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!? YOU RAN INTO SOMETHIN!!! he was going off I was about to cry...
Then I saw it... a note in the front window: SORRY I slid into your truck, my insurance will take care of the damages... (her number)! I wanted to drop to my knees and scream REJOICE!!! my Dad read the letter.... His face turned back to his normal color... He said "OH wonderful!!! no worries!!" He looked at us and smiled and was so happy he didn't have to fix his truck!!! He was so jolly the rest of the night ..hahahahaI love stories like this, What I will always remember is how we felt after it all! My Dad is the greatest!!!
He can make anyone feel so special!! Dad and I love Mac n cheese from KFC! he will bring me a bowl sometimes just cause! Chocolate milk in the fridge just cause!!! anything... just cause! He is the best to watch a show with, like Jac said he has a big heart or maybe big tear ducs!.... He has the biggest heart! no matter who needs help my Dad is the first one there to help!!! I love him so much! This last Christmas we drew names and did serivce for someone in our family... My Dad got my brother Mike! Everyone knows my Dad's knees aren't the best... that didn't matter to him he got out in the freezing cold to shovel Mike's driveway and pathways! It snowed alot!!!!!!!! Without fail he was there... fake knees and all! I love my Dad!!! There is no one like him!

The Only Man that Can See Better with his Glasses on Head than on His Face!




I remember as a child loving to see my dad. What a great big bear he was! I would see him drive up in some sort of SUV, drag his iron body out of the truck, and grumble inside, like a bear who was ready for hibernation. He'd moan into his room and plop himself down on the bed. He worked really hard to help his growing family. I would saunter in the room, oblivious to how difficult it was to keep going on his tired body and ask for favors, or moreover, money. " Girl! Money doesn't grow on trees! You have a champagne taste on a beer budget." All of the truths taught by a father to his learning daughter. Learning to be money wise was only the beginning. I also learned to be understanding in other's times of trial. One morning after a night of hair color in a box gone wrong, I remember sitting on my dad's lap, bawling my eyes out because I didn't want to go to school. His face softened and he held my tall 5'8'' frame as he called Chatfield and explained to the secretary that I would not be able to attend my classes for the day because my hair was not looking quite right and I needed my mother to help conceal the disaster that happened before any of my boyfriend's, who wouldn't be my boyfriends if they knew how big my dad really was, saw me! I laughed and he hugged me as we went to the store to buy new hair color. He was also very quick to act when I was in need. As a young girl, I took advantage of his willingness to help me out. I would call from a long day of first period and say, " Daddy, I have cramps..." without a moments hesistation, "I'll be there in ten minutes. Get your stuff." Love it! He was there in his truck right outside of the school ready to take me home. I have a great Dad. My most memorable moment was when I was putting makeup on in my parent's bathroom and Pops was watching the tube. I was stroking each eyelash liberally with the wand as I heard from the bed, "sniffle, sniffle, sniffle." What was he all choked up about?? I walked over to see him watching a Spanish soap opera! "Dad are you being serious?" "Well, if you knew who they were Jac , you would be upset he was leaving too." My dad knows an un poquito amount of espanol. No matter the situation my hopes is that this entry will spark the "Wes Stories" we all know and love. It is tradition to tell them and this blog is the first written account. I love my dad. He rocks...hard core.
