"My Husband Rocks" Friday

If you haven't heard the buzz yet about MHR (My Husband Rocks Friday), click HERE to find out what it's all about.

This is why My Husband ROCKS this Friday:
He is THE best rock skipper ever...seriously.
This seems like a silly reason to love my husband, but it's true. As soon as there is water in sight, his eyes go into auto-mode as he searches for the perfect skipping rock... I'm always there to document with pictures (probably because my version of skipping rocks includes finding the fattest rock and chucking it full speed into the water to see how big of a splash I can make).

Anyway, I'm pretty darn proud of his rocking-skipping abilities. If I were to write a book about him, it would go something like this: (think Dr. Seuss, people)

"Oh, the Rocks You'll Skip"

Oh, the rocks you'll skip
will have quite a good grip...


They'll be flat and round
and found on the ground...

You'll flick with your wrist
and off they will twist...

as they skip once, twice..
ten times? How nice!


You'll skip rugged Alaskan rocks,
and some off of Utah Lake's docks...

You'll skip rocks that are gritty,
found off shore from the city...

You'll skip rocks into the ocean's wave,
and your biggest fan will rave...

On and on the rocks you will skip,
and off they will go with your special whip...

So skip them where and how you'd like
You are my rock-skipping Mike.

Oh, I can't wait to see
all the the rocks that you'll skip!

This is so Bart. He will skip rocks for over an hour whenever we're near water.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Don't you just love SITS? I've found some really nice blogs that way. I'm glad you found me so I could find you - this sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely have to participate next week!

Oh my gosh, you are seriously one of the most creative people I know. Wow...I love your version of "Oh the Places You'll Go."

So are you hosting "My Husband Rocks Fridays" now instead of Katy Lin? I used to do it every week but I have gotten out of the habit. I need to get back "into it"!!!

This is a really cool idea, and as far as the rock skipping--I think it's wired into guys' DNA to know exactly how to make them skip....mine always just kind of go "plop" lol...
