50 Reasons...

To celebrate Valentines Day this week, I thought it would be fun to list 50 reasons why I love my hunny. I want him to know how great we think he is. I love you babe.... for all these reasons and countless more! Thanks for all you do! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

1. He doesn't care what kind of car he drives, or if it's dirty.

2. He is loyal.

3. He doesn't buy things for himself.....unless Dr. Pepper counts!

4. He gets up with the kids in the night without me asking him to, sometimes I never even hear them!

5. He is an awesome father!

6. He is a hard worker and works through the night sometimes so he can spend time with us during the day.

7. I can leave him with all 4 kids (sometimes even more) and not worry in the least..... And I usually come home to the house cleaner than I left it!

8. He forgives easily.

9. He cares about others more than he does himself.....and he is always looking out for them, even when they aren't looking out for him. (sometimes this drives me crazy)

10. He doesn't care what kind of clothes he wears.

11. He is a peacemaker.

12. He is never grouchy when he comes home to a messy house, no dinner and me sitting on the couch with the kids. He just asks me what I want for dinner and cooks it!

13. He changes diapers....even the dirty ones that go up babies backs.

14. He doesn't mind being on clean-up duty when the kids have the flu.

18. He always hugs me.

19. He calls me at least 5 times a day just to check on us.

20. When he is working out of town, he always calls to make sure I get up on time and that the kids make the bus.

22. He loves babies.

23. He lets me warm my frigid fingers and toes up on him.

24. He always does the dishes when we have company so I can sit and visit.

25. He catches all the bugs and spiders at our house, so I don't have to.

26. He hates breaking rules..... like making u-turns, sneaking kid snacks into the events center, turning without a blinker.... (when his left blinker burned out, he made right hand turns until he could get where he was going instead of turning left without it, I teased him mercilessly)

27. He doesn't mind when I tease him

28. He almost always wins no matter what game we play, but he never rubs it in.

29. He tells me we can have as many kids as I want to have ;)

30. He always stops what he is working on at the shop and takes the kids to and from activities so I don't have to pack up the baby.

31. He loves to travel with us.

32. He can't carry a tune...at all...but he still sings along with us at FHE.....and sings our babies to sleep.

33. He almost NEVER cries......but he cried at Grace's baptism.

34. He has put up with my mood swings through 4 pregnancies and never once complained.

35. He has a testimony.

36. He honors his priesthood.

37. He is good at talking to people and making them feel comfortable.

38. He always tries to comb his girls' hair when they get out of the bath. He's not very good at it, but it's so sweet.

40. He always encourages me to be social and go to enrichment activites and in-home parties.

42. He does the laundry, dishes, picking up, sweeping, vacuuming, any housework really, just to help me out sometimes.

43. He is handy. He can fix almost anything. (except cars) He just doesn't think he is, so sometimes he is afraid to try.

44. He is a picky eater, but he ALWAYS eats whatever I cook and tells me it's delicious.

45. He loves popcorn with LOTS and LOTS of salt and Chex mix with extra seasoning, but he tries to tone it down when he knows we might be eating it with him.

46. He can always make the kids laugh harder than I ever can. Why is that?

47. He has never left us overnight to go hunting. (I guess he knows I'm not a big fan of hunting)

48. He loves his mom and it breaks his heart to see her lose her mobility....It's the only other time I've seen him cry.

49. He lets me stay at home and watch my babies grow and he never makes me feel like I don't do enough.

50. His Family is the most important thing in the world to him and he lets us know it everyday!
