Happy Valentine's Day

A day to celebrate those we love!

Things I love about Mike:

He is dedicated to his job and working to support our family (even in the freezing cold weather)
He is the best Daddy to Beckahm (he teaches him new things, he plays with him, he gets up with him in the mornings, he makes him pancakes, he puts him to bed, he reads him books . . . he is so loving with our little boy)
He helps me out around the house (he unloads the dishwasher, he helps me clean, he does the laundry, he helps me clean up the dishes after dinner . . . the list goes on and on)
He can make me laugh
He is creative
He likes helping me do projects (and he does the projects he doesn't necessarily like doing because they are important to me)
He likes eating good food and likes trying new restaurants
He loves traveling
He loves my brother Dave :)
He is athletic
He paints pictures for our boy's rooms
He likes decorating the house with me
He sets high goals and pushes himself to never settle for less
He is a positive thinker
He is always trying to improve as an individual
He never gives up
He is calm, and low key
He appreciates all I do as a mother
He expresses gratitude
He's got a gorgeous physic :)

Things I love about Beckahm:

His giggle
His smile
His kisses
That he mimics me
That he loves cooking with me and going grocery shopping with me
That he waves and blows kisses to everyone we say goodbye to (stranger and otherwise)
That he is such an observer
That he is a good listener
That he is such a big helper around the house (he is so good at cleaning up his toys)
That he loves to draw
That he loves figuring out how things work
That he is so reverent
That he is so smart (I tell him or teach him something once and he remembers it)
That he LOVES reading books
That he loves dancing and loves singing
That he is so funny; he has the best sense of humor
That he loves being with his mommy and daddy
That he gets along with other kids
That he is non-aggressive (if another kid pushes him down he doesn't reciprocate)
That he mimics Barney and other shows he watches
That he is starting to say so many words now; I love hearing him talk
That he gives me eskimo and butterfly kisses
That he rubs my belly and lifts my shirt to show me my belly button
That he is so expressive with his hand gestures, signs, and his own "Beckonian"ways of communicating
I love that he points to his ear when he hears a sound he is familiar with, especially when he hears an airplane in the sky or when he hears a fire engine (he always tries to spot out the location of the fire trucks or ambulance's on the road)
That he knows exactly what he wants
That he is pretty patient for his age
That he loves FHE and every time I say it is FHE he runs to grab his scriptures in his room (without me even reminding him)—this totally melts my heart and astonishes me. He is so bright.

Valentines box I made for Becks. Mike and I attached candy to the back of his Valentines and wrote down things we loved about him on the back of cut out hearts.
