Happy Birthday to the Love of My Life

Brandon, you are my favorite.  I know I say that to you all the time, but it's true.  You're my favorite person to talk to, my favorite hand to hold.  You're my favorite face to see, my favorite to snuggle up to.  Every day I'm more in love with you than the day before, and I can't imagine my life without you in it.  You know exactly how to deal with my moods, and you always make me want to be better.  I love watching you be a dad, and I love watching you with babies. I am so grateful that you're a hard worker, and a good provider.  I miss you so much when you work a lot, but I'm also very proud of you.  I think you're amazing, and I don't know how you do such hard things (like function without sleep) day after day.  I love that you just know how to do so many things.  You are smart and handy, and very very sexy.  I love your handwriting.  I love watching you work hard (even if it scares me to death when you're on top of an icy roof, or swinging an axe.)  I love that you are strong in so many ways... physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally.  You are my rock.  Thank you for being mine eternally.  I love you.

Happy birthday and so on.  I remember that one time we did that one thing.  That was fun.  I hope you have fun running the relay thingy next week.  I'll have fun not running it.  Thanks for this, that, and the other. 

Oh, I just remembered a couple of things for reals.  First, the basketball tournament thing we did at the reunion.  I remember you blocking Scott Archibald's shot.  That was cool.  Second, that time at Grandma Howell's in Fish Haven where I tried to wrestle you.  That was cool for you.  I thought I was decently strong before that.  I felt like an eight-year-old girl.  Thanks a lot.

Happy Birthday B randon

Well Brandon, you've been around for a long time. I was pretty much just a little guy when you met Mindy and became my brother in law. Thanks for being a part of my life while i was growing up, and being a good example of a husband and father. I appreciate you letting me come and stay with you guys quite a bit. It was always fun. I hope you have a happy birthday today for the last few hours.

I hope you guys get all the things you want in life. Take care buddy.

Happy Birthday Brandon

I hope that you have a happy birthday. I will see you next weekend! It should be fun don't you think? Really I am looking forward to it in a way and I am so glad that you are going to race. I appreciate all of your support with our family and your efforts to take care of Mindy and your kids. You are always working hard and doing your best. Have a wonderful day!

Ken

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRANDON!

We are thankful to have you in the family. You are a really good husband to Mindy, a great Dad to your children, and a righteous Priesthood holder. Thanks for always working hard to take care of your family. We love you.

Love, Mom Howell

Birthday Poem for Brandon

There once was a man named Brandon
The guy who calls my sister hon.
Or maybe he calls her sweetie or dear,
Pookie or snookums, but that's not why I'm here.
I'm here because it's your birthday today.
And I'd make you a sweater, but I can't crochet.
So I'm writing a poem, even though it is tricky.
I hope when it comes to poems that you're not picky.
I hear you like to hunt and fish.
Do you know how to speak Yiddish?
I don't, but sometimes I wish I could.
It might make these birthday poems actually good.
I like how you take care of your kids and your wife.
It seems like you've given them a pretty good life.
You're a hard worker, and that's really great.
I hate it when people are just dead weight.
So, I feel like there has now been enough delay.
I'll end this poem, and hope you have an awesome birthday.

Happy Birthday Brandon!!!

Happy Birthday

I'm glad that you are a part of our family.  I remember coming to visit you guys and helping you milk cows.  That was a fun experience.  I look up to you.  Thanks for all that you do for the family.

Happy Birthday

Um...happy birthday.  Of all the sister-in-laws in the world, you are one of them.  Thanks for not bugging me all of the time.  Uh.....sometimes you are kind of funny.  I like Allston.  He is a cool little kid.  And......it's nice that you seem happy all the time.  That is much better than being ornery or grumpy.  It's good that you come to all our family stuff, I guess.  It's good that you like Geoff a lot.  Sometimes he can be a little weird.  So yeah, happy birthday and everything.

Happy Birthday Belicia!!!

I hope that you have a great day.  It has been nice to have you in the family because I'm not the youngest anymore.  You missed all the teasing parts of being the youngest though.

Thanks for how involved you are with the family.  It's always good to have you visit and come to family activities and you have always been able to jump right in and have fun.

Happy Birthday again!

Happy Birthday Felicia

I don't even know if this will make sense... I'm running on no sleep and pure exhaustion right now.  If I say something wacky, please know I'll fix it later.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday!  You are such a loving wife, and a caring mom to your two boys.  I'm excited that you will be adding a third soon... isn't it funny what life throws at you?  I'm sure you'll do great with three little monkeys, and you'll always be glad things turned out the way they did.

Thanks for being so good to Geoff, and thank you for loving the Howell family.  Happy happy birthday!

Now I'm going to bed.

Sweet Sister-in-law

My name is Brenda and I'm here to say
I'm s'posed to write a poem for your birthday.
I love having you for a sister-in-law.
I'm so very glad you married my bra.
No, I don't mean the thing that holds my boobs
Bra means brother, for all you noobs.
I love to talk with you about books and stuff.
When we talk, I never have to bluff.
It's fun sharing my favorite hobby with you.
Some day we should take a trip to Peru.
You're fun to hang out with, you make me laugh.
I wouldn't trade you for a million and a half.
Thanks for doing my hair all those times.
If you want, I could pay you in mimes.
Just kidding, I think mimes are creepy.
I wouldn't want to make you weepy.
You're a great mom to your two sons.
Your husband seems to love you tons.
And why not? You're a great gal.
It's awesome that you are my pal.
I wish we lived closer, I'd like to see you more.
Driving an hour is sometimes a chore.
I love you so much, I hope your day is great.
Enjoy your day with your kids and your mate.

Happy Birthday Felicia
