Happy Birthday Merrill!

Today he turns...

...so here's 29 reasons why I love Merrill Pitcher...
1. He's so darn cute!
2. He has good genes.
3. He is such a hard worker.
4. He's pretty darn smart! 5. He makes awesome memories with me.

7. He's such a good dad...
8. He likes a good laugh.
9. He puts up with all of my shenanigans.
10. He listens to me, most of the time... ;)
11. He enjoys my gullibleness. Example: One evening, while eating at our El Matador, I got a larger than usual portion of rice. He told me that there was a rice recall, and they were trying to unload all of their rice so it wouldn't go to waste. I believed him...
12. Heart to heart talks till the wee hours of the morning...

13. He had a dream, or should I say desire, to get married in the Salt Lake temple, and he stuck to it...
14. He honors his Priesthood... and blesses our family.
15. He has been with me (even though he really hates medical facilities of any kind...) when each of the girls were born, and would spend every possible second there with us...
16. He makes cute kids... Lynn looks like him...
So does Ashley...
As does Peyton... if you don't believe me, look at the first pic again...
17. He looks hot driving heavy machinery and big trucks... while welding... when he wears his beanie... when he holds babies...18. "You're my eyes Min-daay!" That's a story for later...
19. He's such a hot dog on the jet skis...
20. He's such a fun dad! He loves to play with the girls. They are always starting pillow fights with him... he takes them wherever he needs to go just so he can be with them.
21. He gave each of the girls a name and a blessing.
22. He gave me a blessing before we left for the hospital to have each of the girls.
23. I didn't know he could be such a goof ball.. but he can!
24. He's fun to play jokes on.
25. He retaliates well... (I'll have to tell the spider/pop it story later for those who don't know...)
26. He's a republican... that's an inside joke between us...
27. He can pull the appropriate movie line whenever he needs to.
28. He supports my scrapbooking addiction...
