HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR WONDERFUL SCOTT
I wanted to share with you a huge event in our family that is happening today! Our last born child...known as Scott...is having his BIG birthday...the 40th. He is my 'baby'...but he certainly has changed a lot. He is tall (6'5"), very handsome and has a personality that warms the hearts of those who know him.
I would like to pay tribute to Scott on this day by listing 40 facts of my precious son:
1. He is a hard worker
2. He married an angel named Mindi
3. He brought into this world four beautiful and handsome children: Makenna, Joshua, Landon and Kyle.
4. He is dedicated and committed to his job, the Lord, his church callings and last but not least his family.
5. He loves the teenage youth and works and plays with them at every opportunity.
6. He is a terrific basketball coach.
7. He loves to tease.
8. He is sensitive to the needs of others.
9. He plays sports, games, etc., with his children.
10. He teaches his children to work and be responsible.
11. He likes to have a clean and neat yard and works hard to maintain it.
12. He is fun!
13. And funny!
14. He likes my cooking.
15. His laugh and giggle are contagious.
16. He takes seriously his calling as a member of our ward Bishopric.
17. He looks for ways to help.
18. He has vast knowledge of anything pertaining to farming, building houses, etc.
19. He is the perfect handyman. There isn't anything he cannot do.
20. He has a very intelligent mind.
21. He will never turn anyone down even though his plate is full.
22. He is a good at counseling others in his life: family, friends, co-workers.
23. He is very well respected by his older brothers (4) and his sister. He has earned it!
24. He treats his wife Mindi like a queen and "courts" her often.
25. He brings me flowers.
26. He is a good chef on the BBQ grill and in the kitchen.
27. He is a good organizer in all aspects of his life.
28. He still practices his mission language (Swedish) so he won't forget it.
29. He sees things that need to be done in my yard and takes care of it.
30. He does not spend foolishly but stays on a budget.
31. He built, with the help of Mindi's family Ray and Ode, the beautiful home they have.
32. He is compassionate and tender.
33. He is one of those kind of sons that never ask what he can do, but sees it and does it.
34. He treats me with total respect and love.
35. He is constantly putting his arms around me and holding me and telling me he loves me.
36. He shares his bounty of the garden with neighbors, friends and family.
37. He knows how to mend broken hearts.
38. He is an example of righteousness.
39. He lives up to the remark I gave right after delivering him: "this child will give us so much joy."
40. And he has...through his devotion to God, his family and to us.
We honor you Scott. We praise you for your goodness. You are a remarkable man that has brought your father and I complete joy. We know that you will continue on the path that will bring many more blessings to yourself as well to those who walk with you through this life.
We love you with all our hearts. Have a great birthday!
Mimi's Thought for the Day: Our years on earth count! Not only our birthday years, but what we do with those years. It would be wise for us to fill those years with the things that really count: God, family, home, service, etc.,
