Happy Birthday Joe


Happy Birthday Joe! I honestly don't know what I would do with out you. Since Joe is 33 here are 33 things I love about Joe.

1. Great Father
2. Loves his babies
3. Lets me sleep in more often then he ever asks to.
4. Isn't afraid to change diapers, and does so all the time.
5. Always has a funny story, joke, or dream to tell
6. Does the dishes
7. Is a hard worker
8. Shovels all the snow. I have had to shovel once this winter, and we have had a ton of snow, he always takes care of it.
9. Puts boys to bed
10. Strong testimony of gospel
11. Makes sure we say family prayer every night.
12. Loves coming up with family activities
13. Rough houses with the boys
14. Loves a good comedy
15. Reads to kids
16. Will go to chick flicks with me when I ask him to and doesn't even complain.
17. Tries to pull the element of surprise just to make me laugh. (see previous post for example.)
18. Agreed to a puppy, even though he didn't want a dog. Now he enjoys having the dog around.
19. Painted our house himself, saving us a lot of money in the process.
20. Will try just about anything just to try it.
21. Sweeps the floor.
22. Will sit in a room with me and read a book, even though we aren't talking, it is nice company.
23. Not afraid to jump in and help with the laundry.
24. Makes sure that our boys know that you don't treat Mom unkindly, talk back to her, or completely ignore what she is saying.
25. Loves God
26. Has no problem talking to anyone about the gospel.
27. Will do anything so that our family has what we need
28. Takes our temple marriage very seriously and has a strong testimony of eternal families
29. Involved in what are kids are doing.
30. Wants the best for our boys, even if it means he has to give up something he wants in the process.
31. Free Bull Rides until either the bull or the kids are too tired to continue. The kids have never been the ones to call it quits.
32. Positive attitude
33. Loves being active, watching sports, and helping our kids play sports.
