1. I love his voice... He doesn't like his voice but it is one of the first thing I loved about him.


2. His eyes . The color is just SOOOOO blue


3. His eye lashes, I mean seriously it is not far that a man got them they are so long and thick. I guess I am very luck that so far all my kids have gotten them so no mascara for Riley.


4. He loves me...... and I mean he has never once complained about me and my attitude or the way my body has evolved after 3 kids and some other obstacles.


5. He loves to shop just as much as I do it is so great to be able to go to a store and he goes through the clearance racks just as fast and looking for the best deals as I do.


6. How everyday he tries to make me smile or laugh


7. He will clean the bathroom or whatever when I just don't want to.


8. After a long day he will always help me finish up what I am doing like, folding the laundry, making dinner, doing the dishes,get up with sick or scared kids, run to the store in the middle of the night to get medicine, anything


9. Robert is a great daddy, even when he thinks he isn't. No one is perfect!


10. He can never lie. I mean seriously he can't he is terrible at it.


11. He is a worthy priesthood holder


12. His way of singing


13. The way he dances


14. The way he came home last summer when I was ready to pop pregnant and had the AC down to 66 and he had to put sweater on, he never said a word.


15. The way he looks at me


16. The way he can pull me out of my shell.

18. The way that he supports me with my goals


19. The way he jokes with me


20. His Generosity


21. I love the way he brings me flowers home on the days that feel like they are never going to end.


22. The way when we first got married and where on different work schedules and he would get tired of never seeing each other so he would sometimes call in sick for the day so we could spend it together.


23. The way he so proudly displays pictures of us all on his desk at work


24. The way he loves or at least tries everything I make at least once


25. I love his smile

27. I love the Big Hugs he gives me before he leaves in the morning and again when he gets home at night.

P.S. He is also one great kisser, I am so glad you where born. I love you.

It happened in the car

Last night we needed milk and Robert's car is in the shop again long story. So he came home and after dinner took Brody with him for this trip..

When he came home he told me what had happened.


Robert-''hey Brody?''

Brody- ''who's Brody?''

Robert- "you are!"

Brody- " no I am not, me Jim."

Robert- " OK Jim."

Brody- " yes dad."

So when he got home Robert told me to call him Jim so I go. " Hey Jim, you ready for bed?'' and Brody goes "mom who is Jim, me Brody.

FAMILY

F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by, 'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.
He said, 'Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you.' We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. 'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, 'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.' By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; 'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said. 'Are these the flowers you picked for me?' He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd lik e 'em, especially the blue.' I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.' He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway.' I said, 'Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word FAMILY means?


FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU .
