Happy Birthday Sweet Love!

Today is my honey's 30th BIRTHDAY! I can not believe I have known him since he was 22 years old. WOW does time fly!
The following are some of the many reasons I love you.


You are devilishly handsome
You are a snuggle bug!
I love watching you with our daughter. You are so sweet and so fun with her. She is already a Daddy's girl


I love that ever since we brought Zanna home from the hospital you ask me on a daily basis if I am prego and are sad when I say no
You are constantly making me laugh. No one has ever made me laugh like you
I Love watching you with kids. All children love Jathan!
I love watching you dance your cultural dances. They have always captivated me



I love listening to you give talks. You speak so eloquently
I love that you hold an honor the priesthood
I Love how well you get along with my family
I love all your many looks and how rugged you can be

I love your beard :)
I love watching you meet new people. You are so great at making people feel comfortable
I love when you tease my family and your family. That always makes me chuckle
I love listening to you pray and give blessings. It always touches my heart
We are constantly on new adventures

I Love that you want to be the latter day Porter Rockwell :)
I love the way you love me!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAF!!!

Very very sweet tribute! What a lucky guy to be loved so much! Jathan has a great smile, and oh, so many different looks, as you have already demonstrated!

Happy, happy 30th birthday to one of the best cousins ever!! I will forever remember and be grateful for the many times Jathan has been there to watch out for me...I was so lucky to be so close in age to him. My youngest memory of Jathan is seeing his little head peer over the edge of the swimming pool and reach for my hand; I had taken off my life jacket when the adults weren't watching, and I sunk right to the bottom of the pool. Thankfully, he was watching over me that day, and many, many more after that (remember Britt in elementary? And the way you and your dad promised to come and get me if we ever got trapped in the bomb shelter while we were at school?).

Anyway, I've had many fun times with Jathan being his (favorite!) cousin, and I'm so glad we got to hang out and make so many fun memories. We certainly had an awesome childhood being cousins!!

Love you Jathan! I'm so glad to hear that you and Merm and Zanna are finally moving back home. I've got my eyes peeled for any potential places for you to live. Happy Birthday!! (And good job Merm on the nice post).

Happy Birthday Jathan! And welcome to the dark side - or so I hear, but Dan can be dramatic... I love Jathan too not only because of his beard and that he makes me laugh but because of how much he loves you Merm. You two are so lucky to have each other.

Oh, I remember when Jathan was just a wee little guy. Just foolin--but I have known him for quite awhile. I remember the days of Merm telling me about this hot Indian guy she met and I just had to see him! You guys are so cute. Happy Birthday Jathan--Make Merm spoil you!

Happy Birthday, Jathan. I hope you had a great day. Merm, that was very sweet. I really enjoyed all the photos.

Happy Birthday Jathan! Turning 30 sucks-just kidding, it does get better. I am still cracking up about the homeless post with the picture! That is SOOO FUNNY! That is exciting you are coming back now-and it looks like you guys had a great time at the cabin. I didn't realize you were going this year. Your dad is crazy out in the lake on the horse-but that is a Latimer for you! :) How funny is the picture with the lemon and Zanna? She is adorable-gorgeous looks from her mommy!
