Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Collin!!!
28 years ago God was in a very, very good mood when he made Collin! I've never met anyone so hilarious, so energetic & so unforgettable!
If you've read my blog for a while you may think that Collin sounds kind of perfect. Well, that's because he kind of is. I mean, if picking your nose is the worst thing someone can do-pick away! :) I guess he has to balance out our relationship with my drama and craziness!
Remember this post... I wouldn't call it copy cat, more like revenge!

Count em down! 28 reason I love you!
I love how whenever you have a receipt or piece of paper in your hand you fold it up as tiny as possible. Then I have to unfold all of them to see if you wanna keep it or throw it away.

I love how thoughtful you are of everyone around you. And you turn off your headlights if they're in someones eyes.
I love how you wake up with Avery so I can sleep.

I love when I try to take a picture of you this is what I get. You always ham it up!

I love those kissable lips.

I love when we watch Jay Leno or Letterman you practice stand up routines in front of me.

I love when you sing 'Nessun Dorma' at the top of your lungs after watching the Paul Potts video clips over and over.
I love that you were with me the whole way & holding my hand when delivering Avery & Quincey.

I love that you massage my feet after a long day!! Who does that?!

I love when it's time to go to bed you make some PBJs! That are only delicious with each bite dipped in milk.
I love how every single night since we've been married the last thing I hear is "sweet dreams."

I love that you probably change a many diapers as me.
I love that you've never missed a day of church in your life & you were so tired the other day so I let you sleep in-you jumped out of bed & couldn't believe I let you miss the first 45 minutes.

I love when you make Rhoade's cinnamon rolls for us late at night with a tall glass of milk!
I love that after you finished the triathlon-2 hours and 41 minutes of extreme mental and physical resilience-you were still hilarious and cracking everyone up!

I love when I'm getting ready for bed and go to brush my teeth you've already put toothpaste on my toothbrush.
I love when you get so excited about ordering blik online!


I love how when I'm staring at a finished scrapbook page you say, "I love where you're going with that."

I love how you are completely supportive with my scrapbooking and all the time that it requires.


I love how much pride you get from having a green lawn compared to our dead lawn last year.
I love how you always order the exact same thing off the menu and don't understand why I ever even look at them.

I love how much you want to go back to Honduras & other countries to do more service projects. I love that you already think of names for your non-profit organization. I love when you were proud of your little sister & called her a philanthropist she said "no I'm not!" because she's so used to your teasing!

I love how you immediately make people smile when they talk to you.
I love that I ask you to pick me out clothes when we're at the mall because you always pick out cute stuff.

I love how you write down each of our goals and hang them up. Currently hanging up: "I am grateful that I'm a good little girl and obey mommy & daddy."
I love how Avery is daddy's little girl and when she wants something during the day she calls out, "Daddy, daddy, baba, chi chi... daddy!" :)

I love how you have me rolling on the floor laughing with the drop of a quote.
I love how you are a natural entrepreneur and would make Donald Trump's head spin.


I love when you get home from work and I feel like a dead mommy you look at me like I'm beautiful!
I love that I woke up from a nap and Avery was wearing this!


& last but not least-love your cute caboose!


Love you babe!
Wish Collin a Happy Birthday!
