Happy Birthday, Kevypoo!


Look at the size of the smile on his face! I must have done something really great for him for his birthday. :) Actually, this is Kevin modeling some of our stocking stuffers from Mom and Dad Glenn. He is a silly boy, even at 31 years of age. In tribute to my Kevypoo, here are 31 reasons I count myself lucky to be married to this man:

1. He is the hottest dentist ever, and the only one I've ever ENJOYED having work on my teeth.
2. He is a wizard in the kitchen, whether as my souz chef or making a complete meal from scratch on his own.
3. He appreciates the beauty of a sunset more than anyone I've ever met, and comments aloud on them regularly.
4. He helps me put lotion on my legs, put my shoes and socks on, and clip my toenails so I don't have to bend over my pregnant belly.
5. He brushes my hair for me sometimes because he knows how much I like it.
6. He has a testimony of the gospel and tries to live righteously.
7. He looks really sexy in his glasses.
8. He is obsessed with the Wind River Mountains.
9. He catches fish for us and does all the work getting them ready for dinner: gut, filet, prepare, bake/fry. Yum!
10. He talks to Mikey through my stomach and pretends to have conversations with him, then translates for me afterward.
11. He plays addicting games on the internet with me.
12. He works hard to provide for our family.
13. He is always willing to help with work around the house, or give a hand to anyone who has a need.
14. He keeps track of the weather with almost religious fervor.
15. He tells me he loves me anywhere from once to fifty times a day.
16. He doesn't complain that I need about 6 pillows around/under/behind me now at night to stay comfortable, even though it makes it hard for us to cuddle.
17. He lets me and my friend Cassa watch Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice together on Thursday nights, while he sits in the living room by himself.
18. He likes his manly craft time, making fishing flies and sending them out to online buddies for fly swaps.
19. He is really, really strong and makes me feel safe and feminine next to him.
20. He opens doors for me regularly, a true gentleman.
21. He laughs with me.
22. He has integrity and always tries to do what's right, professionally and in his everyday life.
23. He loves his family and keeps in touch with them on a regular basis.
24. He loves my family too, and remembers to keep them in his prayers.
25. He has the best recipe for Toaster Strudel. ;)
26. He helps me prepare for the birth of our baby by guiding me through my relaxation exercises, learning massage techniques, and letting me give him lessons about what to expect.
27. He is my best friend.
28. He brings me my toothbrush with toothpaste on it when I'm in bed and too tired to get up for it.
29. He believes in me and always reminds me that I can do whatever I set my mind to.
30. He tells me I'm beautiful even when I feel I'm at my ugliest... and compliments my stretch marks. :)
31. He married me in the temple so I could spend the rest of eternity with him.

I love you, babe! Can't wait for Mikey to come meet his wonderful daddy!!!

Happy birthday, Kev! I owe you a present or $$ or something when I get there.

(Jamie, you're busted for not reminding me about this ahead of time.)

AWESOME list!

Here are a few reasons why we like him:
* He entertains us with his double jointed thumb tricks.
* He likes to wear shirts that say weird things.
* He looks handsome (if CREEPY can be called handsome) when he grows out his mustache.
* He's very strong and can toss young children really high into the air (I particularly remember a ceiling fan incident when Sam was little).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kevin! We love you!

PS...We're all on the Mikey countdown. Keep us posted!

Rex reminded of one more:

*He can doggy paddle and fish at the same time, if a pontoon or raft is not available (Payson Lake).

Kevin, Happy Birthday!!!
Great list~Jamie knows you well:)
I also love how you have always strived to do what is right, even when it wasn't popular.
I love your laugh, it is addicting and makes me smile! Though not as BIG as the Glenn's Christmas gift can make you smile.:)
I love how you are with your nieces and nephews and you can tell you will be an awesome daddy by the way they adore you.
I love how gentle and sensitive you are with those who need love. You have always had a HUGE heart!
I love your enthusiasm for life and your gratitude for all the gifts Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
You truly have been a great example to dad and I all of your life.
You make it a joy to be your parents! ♥♥♥

Thanks Jamie, for being a wonderful wife!!!
We too are on the Mikey countdown and can't wait to meet your sweet, dimpled chin baby boy!:*)
