HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear MIKE! Happy Birthday to YOU!

Today is Mike's Birthday! Hooray!!! What a wonderful day. Jay and I both love Mike so much. He lights up our lives each and every day. Everyone that knows Mike knows how positive, friendly and fun he is. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He is the best daddy I could ever imagine for our little Jay. He is so patient and loving. There is no doubt in my mind that he absolutely adores his son - and that his son idolizes him! We just think he's the greatest guy in the world. How did we get so lucky to spend our lives and eternity with him? Happy Birthday to you - we hope you have a wonderful day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! We happen to think you're pretty great too. We would like you even more if you would come visit us in minnesota : ) Just Kidding! We'll just have to keep planning for the future - some kind of awesome vacation we can do together - in about 10 years. Have you guys been everywhere in the world yet?!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FAVORITE SON-IN-LAW!!! You are more than a son-in-law...you are a son to us and loved a gazillion times over (to use Dej's words)!! Thank you for choosing our wonderful daughter and together having that precious little Jay bug.... life couldn't get much better. Can't wait to try the s'mores on your new Jay gadget. Love you lots and lots, mj
P.S. Great pics Dej!

So this isn't really for Mike since I've never met you, but Happy Birthday anyway!!! It's for Anna or rather Dej which is what I will probably always call you. It's Lesley. Shannon told me that you had a blog so I got the link from your mom at Lindsay's baby shower. It was so fun to see pics of you and your cute little family. I know I haven't talked to you in forever, but I thought I would leave a note to say HI and see how you are doing. Anyway, so you should send me your e-mail, mine is lesleyannjensen@gmail.com and my sister got me into blogging, I've only had it up for a few weeks, but the link is jensensjungle.blogspot.com I hope to hear from you soon!
Love
Lesley Ann

Happy Birthday Mike!!!! You are soooooooo old!!!! There aren't many rocks that are older than you :) We love your blog guys...it helps us keep up to date with waht's going on with you. We wish we could hang out. Christian and Jay would have such fun together. Someday...
Also, Dave is a little forgetful and forgot to wish you a happy b-day the other day on the phone. He also wanted you to know that there are 2 intel analyst openings for the FBI in Salt Lake. He wants to apply, but we can't move again for a while. Even if it is back to good ole SLC. I think eventually he will end up doing intel for some agency though. Now that this post is now an email I will bid thee farewell. Happy Birthday!!!
