I love you for picking the boys up from our playdate so I didn't have to haul them all home and so they wouldn't freeze.  I love you for eating my corn chowder and for loving my cornbread.  I love you for working long, long hours into the night, especially when it is so that you can finish your "beloved" accounting.  Thanks for bringing home the bacon, or the tofu.

January 30, 2011

I love you for spending nearly six hours at church yesterday with our family.  Isn't it great when we're filled with religion?

January 29, 2011

I love you for cheering when I found "Saturday" on the Ipod.  And for coming up with great "fun break" activities between our Saturday chores.

January 28, 2011

I love you for taking me to a vegetarian restaurant for our date night.  And for loving it!

January 27, 2011

I love you for making oatmeal while I was still sleeping.  And for letting me let Joey stay home from Kindergarten, without thinking I'm a slacker mom.  Part of me just doesn't want our kids to grow up and the other part of me can't wait.  :)  Thanks for love both parts of me.

January 26, 2011

I love you for washing all those plastic bags.  And for finishing up the dishes tonight.  Oh how I hate doing dishes after the boys are in bed.  But I love you!

January 25, 2011

I love you for rearranging the living room furniture to try and please me.  And I know tomorrow I'll love you for making me stick to my diet today.

January 24, 2011

I love you for liking me in my swimsuit.  And for taking us swimming for family night.  I love you for getting up in the middle of the night with Hyrum.  And agreeing to do it until he stops waking up.  I love you for agreeing with me, that this is the "easiest" way to help him sleep through the night again.  Easiest for who?  :)

January 22, 2011

I love you for taking the boys on an "outing" after your long day, so I could have some time to myself after my long day.  I love you for translating my entire talk, any my primary stuff and staying up all night listening to me practice, etc.

January 21, 2011

I love you for being the "school bus driver" every day.  Even when you have so many other commitments and obligations.  Thank you for helping us all make it through the day!

January 19, 2011

I love you for giggling through our "argument" with me last night.  I must be so confusing to live with.  Especially when I'm tired.  I love you for using your day off to take us to the puppet show.  And for translating for the boys the entire time.

January 18, 2011

I love you for eating my eggplant pesto. We did it this time!

January 17, 2011

I love you for leading our family in FHE every week. And because of the awesome way you dance with our boys.

January 16, 2011

I love you for spending your "sick day" taking care of and bonding with Hyrum. And being okay with it, even enjoying it.

January 15, 2011

I love you for spending your Saturday getting a slide for the boys and setting up the teeter tawter. And of course your "work breaks"/ "fun breaks." You are a fantastic Dad!

January 13, 2011

I love you for being supportive when I'm discouraged, motivating when I'm lost and listening when I'm worried or homesick. And thanks for helping me put up birthday decorations with the boys. Can't believe our Baby is one-year-old!

January 12, 2011

I love you for having "adventures" with the boys while I'm out. And for just walking away when Jacob spit water all over you. And for eating an entire pomelo with me, and talking. I love you.

January 11, 2011

I love you for thinking about me all day long.

January 10, 2011

I love you for driving Jake to school every morning. I love you even more when you have to sit in traffic for a long, long time.

January 9, 2011

I love you for cooking on Sundays. And for trying new recipes!

January 8, 2011

I love you for really caring about people and relationships, even when they're not easy to maintain - you are an amazing friend to others. Thanks for inviting the Siebels to our home this weekend.

January 7, 2011

I love you for cleaning with me on our date night. Let's hope this weekend goes well!

January 6, 2011

I love you for spending your entire morning swimming with Jacob for his "special time." You two fish really belong together! I love you for loving him.

January 5, 2011

I love you because you want to have time with me. So I'm turning off this computer so I can talk with you real you right now!

January 4, 2011

I love you because you are THE coolest Dad in the neighborhood. Just as Jim. (and I know Jake, Joey and Hyrum will agree). Thank you for playing marbles and knights with the boys while Almut and I talked with the missionaries.

January 3, 2011

I love you for being committed to our six weeks of diligent Eat to Live, and to better health for the rest of our lives! I already feel so good! Thank you for your support. Everything is so much easier and funner when we do it together.

January 2, 2011

I love you for having PPIs with all our boys and look forward to mine tonight! I love you for being so calms and helpful this morning before church. Thanks for changing and bathing Jake and Joey, for translating my music script for PV and for being so calm with Joey when he really didn't know what he wanted to do with that scarf. Even when mornings are exciting I feel SO much better when we stay patient and loving. What a great Sunday to begin our year.

January 1, 2011

I love you for shoveling, sweeping and laying down plastic on our deck again, to minimize the leakage inside.

I love you for letting me go on a run and for going on a run yourself. I love when we take care of ourselves, as well as sacrificing for each other and the family.

I love you for holding Hyrum so I can eat raclette and for chatting away with my friends in German.

December 31, 2010

I love you for being willing to leave a New Year's Eve party at 8 or 9 pm, if that is what our boys need. AND for being willing to stay at play games with our friends late into the evening when we realized our boys were actually doing okay!

Here is to a happy new year with the one I love!
