Hippo Birdie Two Ewe!!!

This post is dedicated to my man, Scott, who turned 35 today! Wow! 35 is half way to 70. I think that makes him ALMOST old. Scott, thank you for being you. You make the world a better place! In honor of your birthday, I am going to post a double issue of top ten's.drum roll please...

The Top Ten Reasons I Love You

10. You are such a hard worker (and I am usually the one who benefits from it)

9. You always let me pick the movie, even if it's a chick flick

8. You are a great father (and I know you secretly liked coaching Averie's team- even if you won't admit it

7.You are amazingly good to your parents. I know I tease you about being a mama's boy, but really I find it adorable that you try so hard to keep them happy.

6. You are a superior judge of character. (I just need to learn to listen to you more)

5. You have the BEST butt I have ever had the pleasure of checking out!!!

4. You can fix anything (which is good, because I can break anything)

3. You make it a top priority to come, support our kids at all of their (sometimes tedious) events.

2. You have great taste in women (you picked me... more than once)

1. You put up with me, love me in spite of myself, accept my flaws, laugh at my bad jokes, share my crazy sense of humor, fill up my snap cup, help me be a better person, and did I mention you put up with me?!?

The Top Ten Interesting Things About Scott In The Last Year

10. After many many years of not going on cool vacations, Scott took us on several. We stayed in a beach house in Wahington State, hiked through Arches, enjoyed Zions, visited his parents at Cove Fort, and he and I enjoyed a blissful week holed up in a hotel in Salt Lake, just the two of us for our 10 year anniversary.

9. He read the entire Doctrine and Covenants while sitting on the pot at night (maybe that is how I should prepare for my class)

8. He is planning to go back to college and started all of the crazy red tape to get registered at UVU.

7. He coached Averie's competition soccer team. He handed it off to the assistant coach for this year, but he misses it. At the games, he always ends up doing the subbing and coaching from the side. The girls really like him, and miss having him around all the time (he misses them too).

6. He changed jobs, within the company. He is now a project manager, instead of just a member of the engineering team.

5. He single-handedly installed (half) of our yard (it's almost an acre, so we are doing it in incriments). Yeah!! Green grass at last!

4. He is the king of hot dog roasts with friends. Our families creek property is right behind our house, and we have taken full advantage of it, inviting friends over whenever our schedule allows.

3. He is obsessed with watching educational shows on tv. It drives me nuts. TV is for entertaining, not for learning.

2. He discovered he could still wake (or is it wave) board, thanks to our friends the Robbins, who took us boating with them. It really was awesome, right up until he turfed it.

1. He has been a great husband and father!

I love you Baby! Happy Birthday!!!!!
