32!


3 of my favorite Rob-isms ......

1) His beautiful 'ICE' blue eyes & big Robbie Bennion lips. ;)

2) He gets along well with all breeds and brings out the best in people.

3) He is F-U-N-N-Y and always making me laugh. (Not sure what was happening in the picture--well, just maybe he didn't want his picture taken--but I'd like to title this as Hammer's 'Can't touch this!')

Did you guess who my Bennion is this week? Happy *32* Birthday, Robert.....you're my favorite. :)

I just got in the door from the longest travel day of my life. Left Anna yesterday at noon, arrived in Seattle at 1 a.m after many delays in good old Chicago. But enough about me...it's Rob I want to talk about and CELEBRATE!

Happy Birthday, son. I carried your card with me all over North and South Carolina. Never remembered to find the mailbox, so although I was on top of it, I still missed the boat....but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and here are the reasons why!

I love Rob because
he is so loving to me and to Dad.
he is smart and motivated.
he is the best brother to each of his siblings.
he has so many things that bring him joy - Ann, bikes, the gospel, the young men he teaches at Church, the Cougars and assorted other sports' teams, his family (immediate and extended and in law)!
he has a great laugh and a great sense of humor.
he is a hard worker.
he is handsome and strong (never something I love anyone FOR, but something that is just plain true and enjoyable).
he leads the family in seeking fitness.
he is loyal to his brothers and sister.
he is artistic.
he is well read and loves to think.
he is always game for fun.
he never gives up when something is right and good to do (like his Dad).
he was the sweetest baby a Mom could ever have.
he is tough in the face of challenge.
My heart wells up inside of me when I think of the privilege it is to be the mother of such a son!

I like Rob because he is a great worker. Starting with Uncle Burke and continuing ever since, Rob has never backed away from a work challenge. I love that he worked so hard to earn his Professional Engineering Certification. Well done!

I love that Rob is devastatingly handsome, and is a great combination of Bennion and Dunlap in looks as well as in temperment.

I love that Rob enjoys good gifts and takes delight in giving and receiving. I am especially happy that he likes his latest used bicycle :)

I love Rob because he has married so well and because he and Ann are good together and good for each other.

I love Robert because he does his name proud and I love that he is such a wonderful son and such a credit to his father. Someone has said that it is wonderful to have great ancestors, and even better to be a great ancestor. Rob has and will be both.

Love,
Dad

I love Rob because he practices all the wonderful traits and attributes I so admire.

I am so proud that he persevered in attaining the PE designation.

I love Rob for the courage he showed that summer in Hawaii when Uncle Burke would have gone completely mad save Rob's calm and determined attitude.

Happy Birthday Rob, you are the best.
