The Big 3-0!

Happy 30th Birthday, Mr. Gumshoe!  We love you and here are 30 fun reasons why...(Little Gumshoe and I collaborated)

1) You love your Detroit Tigers hat...not because you love the Detroit Tigers, but because you love Magnum P.I.
2) You have great dimples
3) You make the best jumbalaya ever
4) You are "rain-man" when it comes to the engine thrust of any aircraft ever created and any bullet casing ever found at the scene of a crime
5) You use your super-power detective skills on me all the time and I know that Little Gumshoe will never be able to get away with anything!
6) You are great at changing diapers
7) You are a much better bath-giver than mommy is
8) You always wear a shiny badge that mesmerizes Little Gumshoe when he is cranky
9) You drive a big black pick-up truck that I'm sure the neighbors love to hear when you leave early for work
10) You look great in a uniform
11) You are the hardest working man we know
12) You are the worst whistler in the world.  It's really funny to listen to
13) You prefer to cut your own hair and have offered to cut mine.  No thanks!
14) You never miss a night praying with Little Gumshoe
15) You know your way around power tools and can fix anything (except our air conditioner and it's 110 degrees out)
16) We always make up our own "operas" and sing them in the car.  They're really funny and you're a great tenor
17) Whenever I'm about to say a joke, you say it first b/c we're thinking the same thing...and then you make fun of me b/c I can never get my thoughts out fast enough
18) Our second date was an outing to the shooting range.  That's what I love about you
19) You are a very manly man
20) You like to hunt
21) You love the mountains, but you love Kansas more
22) You have the patience of Job...at least with LG and me
23) You never back down from a challenge
24) You write letters to your representatives.  It's admirable, really
25) The guy down the street i.d.'d you as a 40 year old male.  What I'm trying to say is that you look very mature for your age
26) You like to position your goose decoys in the garage in such a way that they are staring at me when I pull my vehicle in.  It's a little creepy
27) You tear up sometimes when you think about Little Gumshoe
28) Your invention that you swear is going to make us millions is the Hamdog.  A hamburger in the shape of a hotdog.  I'm pretty sure it's been done already...and it's not that great
29) You blocked VH1, MTV and E! channels from our TV b/c you insisted that they are corrupting the nation.  Thank you for doing your part...now what's the password?
30) And of course...you are the most amazing daddy and husband!  Here's to 70 more birthdays together.  And the fruition of the hamdog dream!
