Happy Birthday Johnny!
It was fun to celebrate with Skor cake on Sunday and we should celebrate again with Rolo cookies! After our Tiger Mom discussion I'm really really happy to hear that you list the cello as the accomplishment you're most proud of. You could also list a few dozen more, including your wonderful sense of humor.
Love you so much, Mom
Happy Birthday Beej
Hope this is the greatest year ever for you. Based on your answers you have a very high adventure score, so I hope you make some good memories and adventures this year. I'll be on the lookout for good fast food mole restaurants for you.
Luv,
Dad
Happy 27thish birthday Beej! You definitely have a lot to be proud of. I admire your adventuresomeness and your determination to finish law school. I think its cool that you look up travel destinations, I like doing that too! Even if we can't go anywhere yet. This will be a good year for you, good luck Beej!
Happy Birthday tickle monster, tumble down wrestler, scooping, roaring, laughing, delight of an uncle.
I LOVE arrested development. After watching quite a few episodes online I started hearing the narrator in my head narrating my own life - disturbing but funny.
Hope you have a great day!
Happy birthday Beej! I too wish I could fix and repair things Les Sykes style.
Happy Birthday! From Birthday Roy (j/k) I hope that it's been a good day and continues to be. 27 is a good year! Yesterday when I told Julian it was Uncle John's bday and how old you would be, he asked, ‘is that big?’ haha. 'yes it is.'
I think it's cool that you have such good goals that you're working towards like strengthening bonds of unity with friends and family, finishing law school. Way to go. You sound focused and driven. When you were probably 12 I remember you had your 'personal mission' posted on your bulletin board in your room and I was impressed, not only because it was writted and posted but also because you had a really good personal mission written down. I remember it was concise, to the point, and significant. You set a good example!
Happy Birthday Beej, it was good to have a birthday celebration with you and re-live the story of your birth, something we haven't heard for quite a while now. I'm lovin the something productive being loosely defined comment cuz I often find myself thinking the same way.
Happy Birthday! It was really great to chat with you last night. The boys sure miss you and got the hugest twinkles in their eyes when they got to talk to you. I love Modern Family too.. xoxoxoxoxoxo Happy You!
Happy Birthday John! The boys were all excited to call and sing to you yesterday. You've definitely made an impression on them. I hope you had a great day!
Happy Birthday John Peter -
So, 27 is a good age to think of settling down, don't you think? Are you going to act on Elder Dallin oak's challenge?
Marriage is about the highest mountain you can climb especially if you want to reach the celestial kingdom.
I have always enjoyed you personality, you are a peacemaker and have discovered the virtue of silence. the virtue of silence - knowing that reacting causes contention. Congratulations.
Love
