Happy 28th!


That's a 28 in Hot Tamales people!

28 Things You Didn't Know About Erick

(and some things you might but that I just want to brag about...)

1. He is restoring a '47 Chevy Truck all by himself. It really runs and everything (it didn't used to)

2. He is really good at the guitar

3. He frequently breaks metal tools (I think he's on his third shovel since we bought our house)

4. Due to his extremely large traps he can't touch his own shoulders

5. Turns out he has a super green thumb

6. He has 2 brother and 2 sisters (just like me)

7. He served his mission in Argentina

8. His Fire Academy nickname was Beef Cake

9. He can bench press 335 pounds

10. He loves to go mountain biking

11. Lily pretty much has him wrapped around her pinky finger or little one as she calls it

12. He dyes my hair for me

13. The other day we were at Lowe's and he told me I could go pick out another flower plant to buy and the lady at the counter said he was the first husband she had ever heard say that!

14. He just got called to be the 1st Counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency (this is his second time with that calling)

15. He replaced our whole HVAC system

16. He will watch One Tree Hill with me

17. He did all the crown molding, chair rail, and painting in our house all by himself

18. He taught our bulldog how to swim

19. He is a pro at making nyokies, an Argentine specialty

20. He can dance just like Carlton on the Fresh Prince but you have to beg him to do it

21. He was a Graphic Design major when we got married

22. Then he told me he was going to be a Firefighter and got accepted into the Paramedic Program at BYU-I

23. He will probably be embarrassed that I told you how much he could lift

24. He was the Power Lifting Champion at BYU-Idaho though so I think it's ok to tell you

25. He knows all the words to "Horsie Horsie", which makes me and my family so proud

26. He told me I could join the Shoedazzle Shoe of the Month Club! Seriously girls!

27. He used to go to Pilates with me in Las Vegas and was really good at it despite his lack of flexibility due to too many muscles getting in the way!

28. He is my very best friend but you probably did know that one! Most of the time we will start singing the sang song at the exact same time. And we are always saying half a thought at the same time that no one else would understand but us.

Even Dax doesn't know the words to horsie horsie, oh I've so got to get him on that bandwagon.

And I concur, that when it comes to home improvement projects, Erick even puts Dax to shame!

Happy Birthday Beef Cake!!

I can attest to the Carlton dance...although I haven't seen it in a while so I think I'll beg him the next time I see him. Happy Birthday Erick!
