Happy Birthday to you, JR!


JR had a birthday yesterday! I was glad for a chance to celebrate him. He is a good man...so here are 28 of the many reasons I love you J (and one to grow on: Happy B-day!
1. JR is so thoughtful, kind, and sweet!
2. He loves all music-especially classic rock!
3. JR is painfully hilarious and makes me laugh constantly!
4. From the time he was 18, he has worked SO hard to make our family happy and secure.
5. He is intelligent and always trying to learn new things. He's earned his great job-and even looks better than the District Attorneys on Law and Order!
6. He is an awesome, amazing, cook-I'm talking mini Martha Stewart.
7. He is SO good looking!
8. JR is always happy and it is very contagious. He is always excited about life.
9. JR never complains.
10. JR would be a beach bum if he could and surf everyday.
11. JR is an amazing photographer. He's published pictures in magazines, done weddings, photo shoots, and has the best dang pictures of our kids you'd ever see!
12. JR is the first one to want to help others out.
13. When JR watches movies about sports, fighting, whatever...he gets the itch to go out right then and do it. He gets all pumped.
14. JR does what is best for our family, even at his own expense, all the time.
15. He really knows how to play with our kids. They get SO excited when he comes home from work!
16. He is totally consistent with everything he does...especially parenting.
17. JR gets ticked at bad drivers, and if they tick him off, he gives them the mad staredown with his dark, foreboding eyebrows...even I get scared.
18. He'll even do that to old people...mean, huh!
19. JR is fiercely loyal to his family.
20. JR secretly loves face masks...sorry JR...it's out there now. But, maybe that's why you're such a man beauty.
21. He is an awesome athlete and he's amazing at soccer-I love watching him play. He also rocks at skiing.
22. JR is completely sincere, honest, compassionate, and spiritual, but he lives his spirituality without boastfullness or showiness.
23. JR once cried in a movie-shocking I know-but it was in I am Sam...he saw the first part where the mother abandoned her child...and he stood for the WHOLE show...he could hardly stand that a parent could hurt their child like that. He cares so much about children.
24. JR appreciates good humor, and good movies/shows-such as Conan O'Brien, The Office, Scrubs, Spaceballs, Juno, Dan in Real Life, SNL, etc, Adam Sandler, etc.
25. JR is a wicked good dancer, I'm talking super good, but he won't ever dance when he goes to weddings or anything. Did I mention super super good? He can fast jam, or do any slow dance-fox trot whatever.
26. He loves a good car-his favorite car is a Lamborgini Coontash (however you spell it).
27. He's an amazing gardener, artist, can solve any computer problem, and can NEVER just relax and watch TV (he has to be reading at the same time, or fixing something, or moving in some way)
28. He's incredibly time efficient and can get fifty things done in an hour that would take me 5 or 6.
29. This is one to grow on, JR. JR is loved by so many people. He is just a lovable, happy, wonderful person. I love you JR! Happy Birthday babe!

Happy Birthday JR! You are getting so old! Kim, WOW! Did you make that fruit bouquet? That looks SO delicious! espcially the chocolate cake! Dinner at your house tonight?

Kristen said...

Happy birthday JR! Hope you had a great party..from the looks of it, you had a pretty sweet dessert :) Hope your day was GREAT!

j and k said...

Thanks ladies! Wish I could claim the fruit dessert. But, that would be JR's lovely aunts sending an edible bouquet! I should have just said, "why thank you, thank you-I know I'm just like Martha Stewart, What can I say?" I did, however, make the cake. Not that impressive.

Happy Birthday to JR, I had no Idea his birthday was so close to Brady's. His is tomorrow!!
You wrote the cutest things about him. You guys are so cute!! LOVE IT!!

Jen said...

OK, two more things, Jon loves face masks too, he tries to make all of our overnight guests do them with him, so JR is in good company. AND, I was hysterical at I am Sam, so I guess we have more in common than we thought. I just read this post again, and am now feeling very inferior to JR. Gosh, Kim, you must really love him!

j and k said...

Not inferior at all Jen! Just as fabulous-in a different gender! You're like the female equivalent of JR! I think JR and Jon should have a manover and do facemasks!
