Sweet Girl

As you can all tell, I am an animal lover. This is my sweet girl, Duncan. Who can resist her?

Brotherly Love!

Conversation me and boys had this morning:

Austin: Hey mom, did you hear about the guy who ran over his brother? He was trying to kill him but instead messed up his legs.

Me: Yep I heard.

Cody: I wouldn't run over Austin, I'd just punch him really hard.

Do you feel the love?

The BEST Dad

I'm sure most people think that their husband is the best dad is the whole world but mine really is. Really, he is. I love him so much and my boys love him so much. In every stage of our boys lives so far he has known exactly what to do. He would get up in the middle of the night for their feedings, to change diapers, to calm bad dreams and even to rub their backs when they have been sick to their stomachs. One time when Austin was about 6 months old, he woke up screaming. Billy went into his room, held him close and sang Jesus Loves Me. I fell in love with him all over again that night. He took them camping and fishing when they were really little, like about 3 years old. He still takes them. He has coached basketball, baseball, soccer and helped coach football. He encourages them, he hugs them even though the boys think they are too cool for that. He always tells them and me that he loves us and it's great to hear the boys say "I love you dad". He also respects them and their space. He calls himself dad first but also friend. He always wants the lines of communication to be open. I knew he would be a great dad when I would see him with the nieces and nephews. They adore him. The picture that is attached is Billy with our nephew, Josh. It has been so cool to see the dad that he is. I definitely married up!
