To My "Scrapin' Prince Charming"

This is Lily's picture of Daddy (she's growling for some reason). We thought it was amazingly good, considering she's only 2, but since it was on the Magnadoodle, we had to take a picture of it. Great portrait of a great man!



I just need to publicly thank my amazing husband Kevin for being the man I always dreamed would sweep me off my feet.

Let me just put it this way: my sweet man taught a SCRAPBOOKING class for a group of ladies at church a few nights ago, even though I had been asked to do this! I was lamenting a month ago that there was no way I could do this for so many women, and I didn't know anything current, especially DIGITAL scrapbooking! Kevin then sat down at the computer and in less than 10 minutes showed me how he could crank out a fabulous, artistic and fun page using PowerPoint! I was definitely overwhelmed at this point... so he very graciously and unselfishly volunteered to HELP me teach!!

Now, I ask you, how many men would do this? The only one that comes to mind is my father-in-law, who Kevin is like in many ways. Needless to say, I had only 4 women (2 of which actually worked on their own books) show up for the "traditional" scrapbooking class while Kevin had nearly 15 women in attendance. And of course, he was a hit! A born teacher, he is great at explaining to even the slowest of learners (I give him practice!) complicated concepts. So the ladies thanked ME for recruiting him... If they only knew!

Oh, and by the way, I now have curtains up in my bedroom!! It took nearly 6 years, but it's done, and I love my husband even more each time I look at my windows. Thank you sweetie!!!

What a nice Valentine's Day tribute to Kevin...I don't think many of us could top our husbands teaching a Scrapbooking class to the women of the ward (Norm, if you read this, I am just kidding:)

So after seeing you at the gardening seminar I realized I hadn't added you to my bloggin buddies. I remember seeing your blog from Ashley Gooches page and I thought I had added it to mine, but I must not have. So, your in there now! :) I love that Kevin taught your class. Ben always surprises me with the things he will enjoy to do. He actually taught me how to sew and use my sewing machine. But I don't know he would teach a class for me, maybe...YOU GO KEV!
