Jake: I love you the mostest. Always will. Forever and ever and ever and ever. Thank you for being such an awesome dad and an incredible husband. I couldn't survive without you.
Alex: I literally can not NOT smile when thinking of you. Your smile just makes me melt and I'll admit, I get a little jealous of those little girls vying for your attention. Don't you ever stop being my baby boy!
Kohi: My squishy face bull in a China shop. Your hugs are to die for and your laugh is music to my ears.
Leila: My sweet peacemaker. I love how you try to placate your brothers and always trying to help. You also are an awesome cuddler.
Dad: I'll forever be your little stubborn girl. Thank you for letting me (and loving me all the more)
Mom: My house has never been cleaner and I'll miss getting that extra time with either my kids or having down time for myself when you're gone. Thank you for giving me more time.
Jackson: You can be the most irritating dog but deep down you'll always be my dog. (Though despite this being written on the internet, I'll never admit it verbally)
Jane: Thanks for always accepting me --flaws and drama queen antics etc etc :) And thanks for giving me an amazing husband.
Kerry: I enjoy getting to know you more and more each year. I also love finding bargains for travel with you! Africa was amazing! Thanks for letting us crash your trip :) And thank you for helping us start out on the right foot. I am constantly overwhelmed by your generosity.
Lori: Thank you for the example you set with gospel living standards that I often struggle with. One day I'll do family home evening....until then, can my kids come to yours?? :)
William: I love your stories and can't wait for a new year filled with them. But next year, hit a moose with a bullet, not your car!
Hanna: Your enthusiasm can be infectious and I love bouncing my ideas off of you. I also like your honesty when the ideas suck. ps. thanks for putting up with my wild dog in your yard and reminding me to seek the silver lining in life.
Joe: You are without guile. You are probably the kindest man that I've ever met (that is around my age). I hope that never changes.
Arielle: I love trading barbs with you. You're almost as witty as me. Almost. And NYC was epic. What city will be conquer next? Watch out Keaau. Oh and thanks for being my exporter of olive oil.
Matthew: I love when you come over because whatever I cook, you always rave about and it boosts my ego.... You'll always have a place at my table.
Claire: You know I LOVE you. Thanks for all the times you've listened to me vent and taken my children to give me a break. "Like a good neighbor, Claire is there" (Sing it like the State Farm commercials).
Greg: I'm glad you're still with us :) I look forward to many many more years. And picnics on your lawn. And awesome breakfast for dinner at your house! Yum.
