Jeff is 30 something today! Poor thing endures his birthday on the day after Christmas. As a baby, he was due to come in January. His mother ate fruit cake on Christmas, got sick, and went into labor. Rotten luck!
Today I am excited to list the things that I love and enjoy about him! I am blessed to be his wife! Happy, Happy Birthday!
Comes home from work and wants to play with and enjoy his kids. They are his #1, and he is theirs. He can un-grump them faster than I can blink.
Jeff and unselfish belong in Websters Dictionary together!
Has great listening ears.
People person. He can make a friend in 5 seconds flat!
Lover of books. He reads every night in bed.
Is a bigger kid than our kids. Jeff is always finding something fun and maybe immature to do. (Cookies in the slick church parking lot are probably my personal favorite.)
Drudge Report is life!
Jeff is a great with money. Budgeting and Saving is his forte! (Too bad that he married me. Sorry hon!)
Laughs out loud, and hard when he is watching a movie by himself.
Peacemaker in our home!
Loves my Dad and has a boatload in common with him. (I pretty much married my father!) It makes me happy that they do so much together.
He supports me in all that do!
Jeff tells great bed time stories to the kids. It often includes Tizzy, his little hand spider! Not to mention great ER stories. (Hopefully they are not shared with the children!
Loves my cooking! (I think anyway.) He never complains. Only compliments and appreciates!
Computer WHIZ!
Always leaves the last bite of whatever we are sharing for me!
Accomplished maker of peanut butter tacos for the kids!
Obsessed with UFO sightings and the thought of life beyond! Hilarious. Let me not also forget Indian Artifacts and Trains.
Mr. Handy when it comes to fixing things around the house.
Unshaken testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the Book of Mormon. And there is nothing better than hearing him share it with our children.
Enjoys a good Chick Flick every once in awhile. Sometimes is even caught with a tear in his eye.
Has great taste in music, but listens to what makes me happy on a drive together.
Served an amazing mission in Korea. Loves the people, the food (unless it is dog nose soup) and the gospel!
Hilarious and enjoys a good practical joke now and then. Keeps things fun!
Everything tastes better with cheese.
Takes amazing care of sickies in our house. When kids are sick, they only want Dad. (Makes me a little sad, but they are pampered and well cared for!)
Is the ultimate and poster middle child, and has an amazing love and longing for his family!
Rarely gets mad or angry. (Usually over the spending habits and obsessions of his dear wife!---and then it is just frustration!) He is the ultimate unselfish husband.
Loves animals. One of his favorite things (actually grosses me out) is having a friendly cat rub against his leg! I am still laughing!
Jeff is an amazing father. He has such a patience for our children. He listens, understands and disciplines them in such a loving way. I learn from him everyday!
I love his calm, peaceful demeanor.
Thirsty for knowledge and is always wanting to learn! He can seriously kick your trash when it comes to trivia and current events.
Lets me be a back seat driver and navigate our path on trip (even if it is to the grocery store!)
Loves to ski!
Enjoys a good greasy teenage XBOX game! Keeps him young, sharpens the reflexes, and close to home when needed.
Has always wanted his own special BANZAI Tree to nurture.
Has Dishpan hands.
Comforts and loves needy children in the middle of the night.
Born to teach. He has some sweet skills when it comes to FHE, Young Mens or Sunday School lessons.
Married me in the temple and continues to take me there!
Hope your day was amazing Jeff! Love you!
Happy Halloween!

Janae-nae, Oh I loved reading your blog! I was talking to Mel the other day and she asked if I had read it yet. I said Janae wrote down the wrong blog address on my Christmas card and so I ended up on the wrong Johnson Family. Your family is BEAUTIFUL! It is good to see you so happy!!
