HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!

ITS THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! JEN WE LOVE YOU!!! YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE PERSON & WE ALL WISH WE COULD SEE YOU MORE! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!!!

( & THANKS FOR MARRYING THIS GUY!)



Ammon & Carlo had something to say (this is copied & pasted from my inbox):
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the things I find funniest about Jen is her super human ability to keep her house/yard/kids/husband neat, tidy and orderly...Seriously!!
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Josh and Jen (am I the only one who thinks they might be avoiding us?) a few weeks ago and I got to see their beautiful home. Immaculate would be an understatement. Not only were the lawns perfectly groomed and the carpets freshly vacuumed, the kids rooms were spotless, the kitchen looked like it was straight from a magazine, and jens computer/craft/creative room was like Martha Stewart paradise!!! I do not exaggerate people...perfection. So, how does a mother of three energetic kids (who each happen to look as if they were hand picked from a catalog to complete the "perfectness") keep everything so orderly? Freakish, I tell you, freakish. I havent even begun to describe how Jen made an incredible dinner that was ready seconds after my arrival AND (this is the best part) a breakfast with more pancakes than I could possibly eat...which is no easy feat you know.
I have developed 2 possible theories to help explain how Jen manages to maintain this level of amazingness:

1) She is secretly a meth addict and while the rest of us waste our time sleeping, Jen, in her cracked out state, takes care of everything we only dream about. In this theory, she most likely laughs at us "sleepers" while she contemplates world domination.

2) She is an incredible woman with amazing talents that most people only hope to develop. She has found an amazing balance in her life that makes others want to be like her (I know I do). :-)

Jen, all jokes aside, Carlo and I hope you have an amazing birthday and that you remember that even though we dont see eachother often, we love and miss you very much! Thanks for being a great sis in-law!!

Love,
Amms
and Carlo

Mari & Chris:

Chris and Mari Spiker said...

AMEN! Thank you. Our family is full of people who are "too busy". Psh!! Jen, now you know who loves you MOST!! lol! JK everyone, i love you..but still..where are the family ties?!

Jen said...

I died laughing you guys. Thanks for making this the best birthday yet. And Ammon...I like your ideas for giving me that extra boost to stay up and indulge my OCD side. One day, maybe I'll just have to experiment. (Kidding).

Nah, you guys give me too much credit. You come visit so infrequently that you happen to catch me on a clean day. I'm good at pretending I'm clean and organized, but really...it's all an act. :) Love you guys. Thanks.

LOL!!!! Great Amms, you are influencing Jen to use meth..way to go!

lauren said...

sorry I didn't post JEN... but I still love you. And Mari... thanks for throwing me under the bus- you two Amms.
As far as meth goes... I like the story, but I am not sure the ending would be as pretty. Jen probably could take over the world... oh wait now I am having a pinky and the brain moment. ha ha

I promise I sent my thoughts on an email to PJ so that he can add his and send the email to Mari. I'd like to blame this one on him. jk! He didn't see the email until later that day. But Jen knows we still love her. Right, Jen? :)
