28 big ones!!!

I hijacked the blog...but I had to since it's Jill's Birthday today. For some reason the 'birthday' doesn't seem as cool??? I asked her how the day was going and she replied...



By the way, the last pic is of Rone on his trike with a helmet, I guess he thought he could take a hard fall going .5 feet per second and from 18 off the ground, hmmm. Man I love the kid! So here are a few things I love about my wife...


1. She never complains.
2. She never nags.
3. She always puts up with me (and that's asking alot).
4. When I act goofy she acts like it's not cool and that I'm a total nerd (she's probably right) but then all of a sudden she'll do the same thing back at me.
5. She hot!
6. Actually sticks with things and finishes (unlike myself, but she's taught me a lot).
7. The best mom in the world to our kids.
8. Is an awesome cook.
9. Keeps the kids in check.
10. Works hard in her church callings.
11. Buys a new shirt just because.
12. Lets me do the clean dishes.
13. She's the glue in our home.
14. She tells me when my outfit is wak.
15. She's my favorite barber on the planet.
16. Her smile, I mean, seriously, the best I've ever seen!

I guess I'll stop there. I'm buried in the library right now and probably ought to study. I love you.



I had planned on making a cake for Jill tonight but all we had in the pantry was chocolate, not her favorite. I told her and she said, "Na, I'll just buy one while I'm here at the store." Ok...so she comes home with a chocolate cake...I guess I'm not as good a chef as I thought?? Just kidding, she wanted a "real one." Hmmm...Sadie wanted in the pic also, unfortunately, she put the balloon in front of her face.



Here is her birthday pancake--it's a J if you can't tell. Next to the 'average' J is an 'above average' cursive J. A couple of weeks ago she came home with a pancake pen so we could do our birthday letter pancakes better? It's hard to explain but it's awesome...basically it gives control to draw with the batter. This was after waking up at 5:30 to go to the gym! Now that's dedication. You are the best, really!!!

Love,

Noah

More Birthday fun!

Happy Birthday sweet little boy.

Spring Break...VB style!

We had the best spring break ever! It really helps when you live so close to the beach. And the weather could not have been more fabulous all week.

Highlights of the week:
*Visit from my Grandma (she was visiting fam in S.C. so she drove up for the day)
*2 beach days in 1 week
*Castle park for 4 hours
*Chuckie Cheese B-day party
*Running errands and not having to worry about getting home for the bus
*Brody's last soccer game and after party
*Finishing my 10k run with 2 great friends
*Letting the kids stay up late every night

NOW IT'S BACK TO THE DAILY GRIND....

We had a great Easter weekend watching conference and having parties with great friends. I think our Church should make it a tradition to have conference every Easter! We spent the whole Easter Sunday with just our family so we did whatever we want whenever we wanted. It was so great....but also missed our big family gatherings. Hope you all had a great Easter!
