A quarter of a century...


That is how long the love of my life has been alive on this earth!:)  Yep... Shane turned the big 25 yesterday!!!  I'm not gonna lie... It is quite possibly my most favorite day of the year just cuz I love this guy.


To celebrate, Shane wanted to go to his family's cabin for the weekend & fish... So we did & it was super fun, as expected!  My boys are just like their Daddy- love getting down & dirty with nature too:)  Here's some of the pics of the festivities...

The boys relaxing & eating some cookies... Oh what a life!

HAHA I caught them BOTH searching for more rocks to throw in the lake at the same time...
Scared so many fish away we didn't catch a thing!

Jax fishing for his 1st time!  And obviously, loving it:)


Drake having his turn fishing with Daddy & loving it too!
  
Dirt "bath" right before his REAL bath...  Such a BOY!

The Hunsaker boys all hanging out on the swing... :)
  After we can home, we went & had a FABULOUS dinner with most of the Hunsaker family... Mama Kathy spoiled her birthday boy & made his request for won tons:)  Then of course, Shane favorite cookie dough ice cream cake from Cold Stone (YUM!!! We HIGHLY recommend giving that one a try!)

Yep... We got 25 candles on that cake! 6 of which were trick candles...
I was afraid he was going to have an asthma attack by the time we got done!:D

So in honor of my Sweetheart turning 25, I am going to do the ever popular 25 things I love about this man!

  1. He is such a WONDERFUL FATHER & EXAMPLE to our 2 beautiful boys!
  2. I  am absolutely crazy about & admire so much at what a spiritual man he is.  His love for our Father in Heaven & Jesus Christ and his being a worthy Priesthood holder makes our home that much better.
  3. I ADORE that we can have full on CONVERSATIONS solely made up of different MOVIE QUOTES!
  4. Even though he cleans up what I've already cleaned, I do love his CLEANING OCD;)
  5. I LOVE those EYES!  It's just wrong for a man to have eye-lashes like his...
  6. He is an amazingly HARD-WORKER!!! At his job & at home...
  7. I absolutely adore his LAUGH... He has one of those that when you hear it, even though you don't know what's so funny, you can't help but laugh too.
  8. Going along with #6, I love our late night, RANDOM LAUGHTER FITS. Especially the ones that are so bad that we're in tear & our stomachs hurt by the time we're done.
  9. I SO appreciate that he is my GREATEST shopping companion... Seriously, (though he probably won't openly admit it), this guy has a better fashion sense than most women I know!:)
  10. Although not always appreciated or timed well (Hahaha, you know what I'm talking about Shane!), I wike this guy's sarcastic SENSE of HUMOR...
  11. Even though he may disagree just because he doesn't have the body he had when we were 17, he is still one MIGHTY FIIINE speci-MAN to me!!!:)
  12. I adore his SHYNESS...
  13. His INTELLIGENCE... & his "rather extensive vocabulary, not to mention a phenomenal grasp of grammar & a superlative command of syntax."(What movie? :))  I use to think he cheated at Words With Friends. No, he knows his stuff!
  14. Kind of a weird one, but I LOVE his HAND-WRITING!  Something about seeing it just makes me happy.  My brain must connect seeing it to the feelings I got from all the notes we passed in high school or the couple of letters I got from him while he was on his mission... :)
  15. Though it is a very rare occasion, it drives me crazy (the good kind;)) when he SINGS!  He doesn't believe it but this guy has an incredible voice... One day, we WILL sing a DUET!;)
  16. I love, love LOVE that he is such a FAMILY MAN!!!  One thing that made me love him right from the start...
  17. I like our mutual love of TRAVELING & regular need for GETAWAYS anywhere.
  18. Not gonna lie, LOVE those ju-ju LIPS!!!  Another beautiful feature that boys should not have but I love that he does!;)
  19. I love how he can put up with that crazy wife of his... :D PATIENCE is one of his greatest attributes!
  20. I love all the NICKNAMES he has for me... & the way he says "Lonna" when he DOES call me that:)
  21. I admire & adore his will to constantly make himself BETTER while simultaneously making ME better too!
  22. I love how EASY-GOING he is.  Makes life simple:)
  23. I appreciate how SUPPORTIVE & CARING he is of me & our babies...
  24. I LOVE that he is, & has been for almost 11 years, my BEST & TRUEST FRIEND...
  25. I love that I am his & he is mine for ETERNITY!!!:) 
  There's so much more I'm sure I could write about him... Point is, I LOVE this AMAZING, HANDSOME, CHARMING, & CARING man more than any list I make could convey!!!  He is the greatest thing to ever happen to me... So I'm glad that 25 years ago he was born!:D

For some reason, this is one of my favorite pics of us, taken on a recent trip to Cali...
Enjoying some amazing ice cream while watching the waves on Mission Beach!
I love you, Babe. Don't worry about becoming an old man now, cuz I'm right behind you!;)
Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
