This man...


... is 33 today

...is not afraid to cheese it for the camera

... is happier, now that he doesn't have long call nights and crazy hours of residency (but still cute in his post-call scruff)

...is a good time!

...loves his boy

...has a unique sense of humor that is, I'll finally admit, endearing!

...was a good son

...is stinkin' smart & always makes me feel like all his accomplishments are "ours"

...loves his girls (& junk food)...is a hands on dad
...is a fun date!

...treats us with kindness and gentleness

...Isn't afraid of pink (which is one of the manliest traits I can think of!)

...is smokin' hot!


...is truly my best friend--supportive, helps me want to be better, and knows how important "girl time" is for me

...is a family man


...has a solid testimony of the Savior & honors his Priesthood


...is all mine!


Love you, Case!

We love you, Casey! Happy Birthday, you old fogey. Thanks for doing those dishes at Mom's right when you came into the family--made us all look bad! Hahaha, little did we know that it was just the tip of the iceberg of all of the wonderful traits Katie has already mentioned. We are so lucky to be related! I know Preston is grateful to have such a kindred spirit for a brother in-law! When's our next double date to Ejo? Love you to bits!
Lizzy & all

Casey is one of a kind! Tell it like it is, do anything for a friend, generous and what more can you want for a great friend, but for her to have such a great husband (esp when he's a fan of GNO)?! Wish we could bring you some junk food today to celebrate. Happy B'day from the Pelos!

What a sweet tribute. It almost makes me feel bad for crying when I heard you were engaged. :) I am excited to move back to Utah to actually get to hang out with him (and you too, of course). Happy Birthday Casey! Man, you are old...

Casey is also (STILL) our all time favorite home teacher (not bad, considering we haven't been in the same ward for 7ish years)
Happy Birthday Casey!
