Happy Day, Dinger!
Just want to give a shout out to Jim W. on his birthday. I know that he celebrated in Billings with his family so it was a special day. He also got to share his day with Isaac as he was baptized today! Congratulations to Isaac, too. I am sorry that I don't have a picture of you, Jim, but know that our thoughts are with you on this day! Special memory of Jim - the Moore family reunion and Jim is the auctioneer. Meg wanted him to stop so that she could call Ryan to see if she could spend over $50 for something. He carried on about "there is no stopping an auction". He was his usual fun self. Love ya, Jim!

Happy Birthday Dinger!!! Hmmmm...favorite memory? Well, too many to count, but one that occurred recently was when Molly and I were in Great Falls helping out with the move and we stayed with the Wingerters. We got there fairly late and as we were trying to quietly sneak in, Molly not-so-quietly banged her suitcase around. Jim came out and was kind of like "what is going on and what are you doing here?" Needless to say, he just rolled with it, like he usually does!
Happy Birthday Jim!! I hope you had a great day. Jen, I was thinking of that exact same one!In my defense, I was just moving back from living in Shelby for a month so I had a big duffle bag that didn't take corners easily. Jim was so funny, though, he was just kind of like "So, how long are you guys staying?" There are too many fun memories with Jim to pick just one. My favorite thing about him is his laid back style and his sense of humor. I always find myself laughing when I'm around Jim.
Happy Birthday Jimbo! We had a fabulous weekend in Billings with Miranda, Nate and the babes! Ben is Isaac's godparent so he was there also.
Hope you had a terrific day!
Love ya
I don't think I have ever met anyone with as contagious a laugh as Jim's. Everything is just so darn funny when he is around. What a great influence to have on the world! Happy Birthday Dinger! Oh, and I don't think I ever got the full story on where "Dinger" came from. Perhaps that should be posted by one of his lovely children.....
I don't have just one favorite memory, but my favorite part about Dinger has to be all the times that he has shown his undying love for the great university that resides in Missoula, MT and proudly calls themselves the Grizzlies!
Happy Belated Birthday, Dinger!

One of my favorite Dinger memories is pretty recent: the gourmet sandwich he prepared for the First Annual Moore Family Grilled Cheese Throwdown. It was... creative! Happy Birthday, big man.
Happy (belated) Birthday Jim!
One of my fave memories of Jim recently was this past Thanksgiving when I called the house at a ridiculously early hour because I forgot my tennis shoes and was supposed to be in the Early Bird walk with the rest of the family. I definitely woke him up but he generously agreed to scrounge some up for me!
Just another example of his generous spirit and goo humor - two qualities he instilled in his kids and that I admire most about the Wingerter clan!!
