Happy Birthday, Matt!


Matt is 25 today! I thought I'd share a few of my favorite things about him...

1. He's funny. He's always doing something ridiculous to make me laugh. 2. He's all over the baby care situation. I don't even get a chance to diaper, bathe, or burp Thomas when Matt is home. 3. He loves being with his family and is always looking for ways to get near them. 4. He is the cleanest man I know. 5. He won't admit it, but he's a great singer. 6. He's so handy--he can fix anything. 7. He tries to educate me about cars and all things mechanical. 8. He's a professional maker of omelets and eggs benedict. 9. He enjoys learning and is an excellent student. 10. He wants to get a good job so I can stay at home with the kids. 11. He does a great Shakira impersonation. Ask him about it sometime:) 12. He takes good care of his belongings. 13. He takes his calling seriously and honors his priesthood. 14. He appreciates good food and is willing to try new things. 15. He thinks his mom is the best thing ever (and she is!) and is respectful to her. 16. He is very particular about the way his clothes are folded and put away. It's definitely excessive, but I don't even mind it--neat is good! 17. He's an expert cookie baker. 18. He puts family first. 19. He's eager to serve others. 20. He eats anything I cook. 21. He loves my family and always wants to hang out with them. 22. He takes excellent care of the car so I don't have to worry about it. 23. He's obsessed with cheese of any kind and with cutting it "just so". He tolerates me hacking at it with inappropriate knives. 24. He's frugal, but never stingy. And he likes to spoil me on occasion. 25. He's nice to all kinds of people.
And now, a few glamour shots of the birthday boy:
