Happy Birthday James!

Perhaps the best thing that I can say about James is that he is a steady guy. You always know that he is going to do the right thing. In any situation you can know that James…wait, what am I saying? I have not had a decent conversation with James in years. He could be a psychopath. He could be a raging alcoholic or even a Baptist. I am sure that none of that is true, but James, what better time to seek treatment than on your birthday. Think about Leslie. Think about Sweet Kaitlyn. Think about all the millions of lanky, white, soccer fans that love rap music that look up to you. Do it for them, Do it for me. More importantly, do it for yourself.

There is a small chance that you may not need to do it at all. In that case, I wish you the best, happy Birthday.

Wow Leslie, after reading that, it is pretty apparant that you married above yourself! Do you do anything around the house?

Ha - just kidding (kind of, really, you need to do something to help him out). Tell James Happy b-day. Call us when you come to the metroplex next time.

peace - stephen b.

The votes are in and I have the BEST WIFE EVER.

That list could easily go the other way (except the back rubs).

By the way blog world, I taught Leslie how to play TX Hold'em only to get beat by her consistently over the past two nights.

She is truly amazing and I defintely married up. By design, but still up.

Sam, I am still the same, a little heavier and my jokes are a little toned down to incorporate my new found knowledge of Dora tha Explora. But I will tell you I am not completely a psychopath (I had too look at your post to figure out how to spell that word).

Happy Birthday James!

I remember a 4 month old baby hanging off both ends of his carrier! I remember a baby that threw up all over Debbie's head! I remember a naked toddler with whipped cream all over his body having a great time! I remember a toddler with socks on his hands to keep him from picking at his stitches! I remember a little boy with mischief in his eyes, a HUGE smile on his face, and the sweetest nature I've ever seen! I remember you growing, and growing, and growing! I love you Jamie and I hope your birthday was as delightful as you are! God Bless you and your sweet family!
