To Bryce:

HAAAPPYYYY BIRRRRRTHDAAAAY!



My wonderful husband and Piper's fantastic daddy turned 31 yesterday. We celebrated his birthday the usual way by heading out to Dave and Buster's to have dinner and play games Saturday night. Bryce's cousins Quinn and Kurt came, along with Javier and Monica; our other friends, Matt and Leia came later in the evening.

Sunday afternoon, we had a BBQ up here at Sue and Cliff's house for friends and family. It was a great time seeing everyone.

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Sue and Cliff for letting us have the BBQ and for helping with it. Sue did most of the organizing and Cliff (and Bryce) did some renovations around the pool for more shade. It looks fantastic and everything turned out so well. THANKS!!!

So here's to another year for Bryce; may it be even better than this last one!

And here are a quick 31 things I love about Bryce:

1. He rubs my feet every time I want them rubbed and only complains when they're stinky.
2. He's more than willing to give Piper a bath or put her to bed when I don't feel up to it.
3. He spends quality time with Teekie so that he doesn't feel left out.
4. He makes sure that we're taken care of financially.
5. He likes to have projects to do around the house...
6. ...and he's good at them!
7. He kills bugs for me.
8. He likes to cuddle with his girls.
9. He is one of his departments best employees; always getting awards and recognition.
10. He doesn't like to waste water.
11. He loves hanging out with family and friends.
12. He doesn't drink or smoke.
13. He cares when someone hurts my feelings.
14. He's willing to let me convince him to have another kid after this one.
15. He gets off of World of Warcraft when I want to hang out with him...
16. ...and he asks if its okay to do a raid before he commits to them.
17. He always wants to play with Piper, even when he's supposed to be working!
18. He's too handsome for words.
19. He never takes his wedding ring off.
20. He puts up with my repetitive stories and laughs good-naturedly when I say something stupid.
21. He hangs out with my family without too much complaining!
22. He won't play Lego Star Wars without me.
23. He still acts surprised when he opens any presents from me (even though he always knows what I'm getting...grrrr).
24. He will admit when he's wrong.
25. He lets me paint his toenails any color.
26. He remembers all about the first time we met and our first date.
27. He planned our wedding so that I didn't have to.
28. He loves hiking with his brother Jacob.
29. He takes care of me when I'm sick.
30. He never gets tired of spending time with me.
31. He misses me and Piper when we're gone.

I could go on and on, but since he only turned 31, I figured I would stick with that.


I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I love you so much!
