1. His family is his life
2. Love for animals
3. My handsome man
4. Hard worker
5. Spoils us
6. Love for our Lord and his faith
7. His obsession with sports (preferably BYU)
8. Strong and amazing big heart
9. Showers me with love
10. Caring
11. The love for outdoors
12. Loves yard work
13. Loves to clean our home (and let me relax)
14. Loves to be involved in everything we do (most husbands could care less)
15. Makes us laugh
16. Smart and intelligent
There are so many more. You are the love of my life and I am so thankful for you in our lives. I love you so much Sparky! Alf

Happy Birthday Oma'...

My mom turned "60" on Sunday, July 12th. Wish we were celebrating with her. I was telling Kelsee and Mattee how she used to say stories backwards and we sang the songs "Katie and Alice" together. Those are the girls' favorite songs that Oma' sang to them. My mom was a beautiful, strong willed, stuborn, loving, giving person that you could probably have ever know. Her top priorities were my brother and I and her grandkids. She loved watching her grandkids everyday. There were days when I knew she didn't feel good or she was so tired so I would let her know that I was going to take the kids to Marilyn's that day and she would make a comment of "my grandkids are my life and they keep me going. I need them here with me. I will be just fine." So I would end up taking them to her anyway. She taught me the meaning of loving your children, spouse and family. She loved and cared for her family. I love you much and miss you everyday. Love you lots...Spider
