Why I love him

 I have been uber busy making Christmas gifts that I haven't been up to making a new post the last few days. However I wrote this little list for my hubby a while back on just a few reasons why I love him.

1. For asking for our first kiss.

2. For telling me you love me every single day, and for giving silly explanations when I ask why.

3. Because your the only one who gets my love for Bob Ross.

4. The way Ty cries for you when you leave for school or work.

5. Random text messages just to say I love you, or to make sure I am happy.

6. The way I catch you looking at me and I can tell you love me. 

7. They way you pray for our children's health and safety every night. 

8. Making me breakfast every weekend.

9. The way you write the grocery list. 

examples:

10. For the look on your face when Ember was born. 

11. For every day that we are together I fall more in love with you. 

12. Because we get funnier all the time.

13. For working so hard at school and work and coming home happy to change poopy bums. 

14. For brushing my hair back after both kids were born and telling me you are so proud of me, and thanking me.

15. Surprising me with diet cokes when you know I have had a long day.

16. For being a man I am proud to have Ty look up to.

not a newborn

Really, is there much sweeter than footie jammies?
Jayson and I both melt at the sight of them. 

I packed up Embers newborn clothes and gave away the last of her 

newborn diapers. 

Is my baby not a newborn anymore.

nope.

she is not.

I remember with Ty packing up every stage was hard for me.

When I packed up newborns I bawled and bawled thinking my little man

was never going to wear these clothes again.

I thought I had prepared myself for packing up Embers things.

but as I folded her tiny clothes up I got 

more and more emotional.

When I got to her outfit she came home in....

thats when I lost it. 

I remembered the feeling I had when dressing her for the first time.

The moment I saw her in her first bow.

I thought about the way I use to have to cradle her so gently.

The way she could barley open her eyes. 

My baby is still a baby.

She is still so tiny.

but she is no longer my newborn.

  "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."

My baby will always be my baby.

our HALLOWEEN

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween.
We sure did! 

Jays and I were/are SOUL MATES

My babies were little Despicable Me Minions.

Our family.

I know our costumes don't coordinate with the kids. 

Maybe next year.

Ty had a blast this year.

Every time we would go to a car he would look at me

like "your ok with this??"

His favorite this year was Reese's

Ember was so darling. 

They both stayed super warm too!!!

My niece was also minni mouse

so we had to get a picture together!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
