Happy Birthday Papa!

My two worship Jim's dad, their papa.  Of course, it helps that he wears a cowboy hat, "plays" in a shop full of tools, feeds his dog (D loves Shadow) and has massive tractors & trucks (all large equipment falls under the general "tractor" category to me, but A is already correcting my ignorance often.."no Mom, that's a scraper", etc.).  Little wonder Papa's house is their dream world. 

They're boys.  And Scott's.
And Papa wanna-be's.

I don't care much about  tractors personally, but I do admire Mike for other reasons.   He  dreams big, teases often, works hard, and raised my Jim exactly to my liking. 

Happy {belated} Birthday!

Wow--a grandpa with tractors! Such lucky boys. Thanks for the fun post--and happy birthday to the boy's Papa!

Such a nice tribute. Every boy needs a hero like that!

Sweet post. Thanks for the nice words. They made Mike and I both smile. I don't think the boys could worship Mike anymore than he adores them.

Very sweet post! Josh knows a few things about tractor adoration too! Must be a boy thing!

Amy, what a perfect tribute. Papa sounds like a guy my boys would really enjoy too. I think since having sons, I have come to appreciate more the role a grandpa can play in a boy's life. Thank goodness for all the papas in the world, who show adoring grandsons such a sweet side of life.
