tribute

Happy Birthday Mom!!
Just wanted to tell my Mother how amazing she is. She has always taught by example and lived the way she wanted her children to. I admire her in so many ways. I never knew how hard she worked for us while we were growing up. She never let on that there were difficult times. I pray for her strength and more of her ability to sacrifice for others. It was nice to have her with us in Salt Lake after every one else had left when Trae had his stroke. She was there just to be there and I appreciated it so much. So, Thanks Mom- maybe I didn't tell you, but I needed you and I am so thankful that you stayed. It's your day and I hope you enjoy it. We Love You!

First, I just want to say I have an amazing husband. I don't tell Jeff often enough how much he means to me. He is such a hard worker and genuine guy. I can't say that he has always been a hands on kind of Father. He would much rather bring home a one year old and skip the whole first year. I love the baby stage, but we agree to disagree on the issue of babyhood. However, something has been different with Maleena. I think she stole his heart from the moment he saw her. Last night I worked til 9 so that left Jeff with having to pick up the kids from my mom's and then taking care of them til I got home. He even fed Maleena her baby food for the first time. He did pretty good, despite the fact that he gave her sweet potatoes and green beans. He thought it sounded gross to mix a fruit and a vegetable. That's okay though. When I got home the kids had their pajamas on and were ready for bed. (teeth brushed, too) It was a nice surprise. So, Thanks honey-despite our struggles-you have been great and I love having you home more.

 


These cute kids are our nephews Andrew and Kyle. (Jeff's brother Jared's kids) We don't get to see them much because they live in Boise, but we love them tons. They just added a little girl to the mix-Rachel born yesterday. Congrats!!

In a nut shell...




My sister Sharen has a little comic on her blog, so I thought I would add one to mine. This seemed to fit us perfectly. Unfortunately I like our bed partner a whole lot more than Jeff does. I just can't sleep without my cuddle bug.
