{ 31th }

For some reason I just love it when little kids say things wrong. I think it's so cute. It shows their innocence and how they are trying to understand the world around them. Sometimes Sophie forgets to say 31st and says 31th. Most of the time she quickly fixes it because she knows it doesn't sound right, but I still think it is so cute.

So one of my rhymes for Logan's birthday posters today was . . .

On this . . . the 11th month

We happily celebrate your 31th

(birthday that is)

This my birthday shout out to the man of my dreams. Seriously. He brings me more joy than I could ever have imagined to have in my life. He is the most incredible father. Our children adore him. He will drop anything at any time, no matter how busy he is, to help them or play with them. Most of the time I am telling him that he's too nice. But he truly enjoys being with them and so it's hard for him to say no.

It's funny how opposites attract. His strengths balance out my weaknesses and vice versa. He teaches me so much and I feel like I am always learning how I want to change and be better through his example. And he is so patient with me as we have learned that I am slow to change.

Not only is he the man of my dreams, he is my best friend. We spend so much of our time together laughing. Even last night as we sat on our bed in our pjs eating pine nuts and catching up on the shows we have missed this week, we just laughed. I always comment how crazy it is that we don't get sick of each other. After 9 1/2 year of marriage, we still genuinely enjoy each others company.

My life has been so blessed because of this man.

Happy Birthday baby. I love you.
