last thursday was actually his birthday but since i wasn’t really on the blog that day, i didn’t get to wish him one in time so i’m doing it now. cause the man deserves it. happy, happy birthday steve. i love you so much. we all love you so much. sorry your birthday sorta got the shaft this year (i didn’t do nothing but i didn’t do a lot). he was all, “i’ll pretend give you a hard time about it, but i really don’t care” (cause i kept apologizing for not enough brou-ha-ha surrounding the big day) and i was like, “that’s really nice of you, because if my birthday was this whatever, i’d have been pissed.” that just goes to show that he’s a better person than i am and i married up. so thanks for marrying me and thanks for being alive. i love you so much. you’re a good man. seriously.
and this picture is like 6 years old but i think he’s lookin’ all rugged + sexy + mountain-man like, “you need dinner? i’ll catch you a fish.” minus the old glasses. we switched them up for some cool ones.

We switched J's glasses out for some cool ones, too. I think it's part of being a good wife.
"Thanks for being alive."
Best birthday greeting ever.

Tunes and Spoons says
Happy late birthday to your rugged man! and cheers to ladies who pick out better glasses for their husbands…what would they do without us?
Elizabeth {e tells tales} says
I made Mike get new glasses too! You will never see me post a pic of him in the old ones…no matter how mountain man sexy he looks. They were that bad.
"Thanks for being alive." Best birthday words ever.

Happy birthday to Steve! Birthdays that occur just months after baby are bound to be a little low key. It's baby law.
By the way, Steve (Stephen) is my brother's name and in mean sibling fashion my sisters and I taught his baby boy to call him by his first name. It was awesome. Nephew would stand at the bottom of the stairs and yell for STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE until my brother gave in and answered. He hated us all three months it took him to break the habit.
Ahn says
he knows how i feel, but i'll limit my words in this public forum to happy birthday…and i love you.
bridget says
@mellyb, that is hilarious. i'd kick anyone's a who taught parker to call me by bridget.
@ahn, his feelings are mutual. as you know.
@e, the least we could do to fancy up our older men, eh?
Rachael says
