MY WONDERFUL WIFE

I would like to express my love and appreciation for my wonderful wife. She is a great mom and she does so much for this family. She always knows how to help the children and how to help her husband. She just gave birth to our second child and there isn't another person that I would rather have taking care and raising our kids. She is so great with Crystal and Seth. She is also a wonderful wife. She always makes me feel better when I am down, she supports me when I change my mind on things (which I do often), and she puts up with my flaws. I love her and appreciate everything she does. She is the greatest!

Smile Seth.

It's really hard (at least for me) to catch a newborn smile on camera since they just randomly appear, and usually when their asleep, but look people, he has dimples!! (Sorry it's a little blurry...I had to be quick to push the button)


You can't see his dimples in this one, but he's still one handsome little man:

I freakin love this kid!

Hope you all had a great Fathers day!

YES, I REALIZE FATHERS DAY WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, but I'm still figuring out a routine as to how to take care of two kids so I'm a little behind on everything.
Even though my husband already got his Fathers day gift- an iphone...oh and a son too (; I'd like to do one more thing and give 10 reasons in no particular order as to why I love my man:

1. He cooks dinner. I'm a scavenger eater, meaning I fish around and pick at foods throughout the day rather than make my own meals. I'll make a small meal for my daughter for lunch, but I'm really lazy when it comes to dinner. If it wasn't for Scott I'd starve.

2. He tells me he loves me several times every day. Who doesn't want to hear that they are loved? The other thing he does everyday is he thanks me for cleaning the house.


3. He always makes time to play with his kids when he's home from work and tired.

4.He can fix almost anything that's broken. Before I was married I used to make fun of men for thinking they can fix everything...but he really does fix everything. The treadmill, the computer, my phone, the closet door, the vacuum, my brothers xbox, etc. The list goes on and on.

5. He's patient. This is a requirement since he's married to me. You people have no idea how much patience I require. I can be pretty difficult.

6. He makes me laugh. It helps that we have the same sense of humor. Our favorite movies to watch together are comedies, we watch those more than any action movie or chick flick together. For us, it's all about laughing at goofy things, including ourselves.



7. He makes sure that I get out of the house frequently. If it weren't for him I'd be cooped up at home all the time everyday. He always makes sure I get to go out to a movie with him or out to eat, or visit with my family. He makes sure that I make time for the fun in my life.

8. He's a wonderful father. There's nothing he wouldn't do for the happiness of his kids. When he's home from work he sits Crystal on his lap and asks her questions about everything she did that day, and he's her big tough hero. Whenever she's afraid she runs to him and yells "Protect me daddy!" She knows he will keep her safe.


9. He's the money man. Not only does he support and provide for me and and our kids, but he manages all the bills and organizes our budget. He makes sure we always have enough money to provide for our needs and still be able to buy things we like just for fun. He's practical when it comes to money, but not cheap. It's because of the way he manages the budget that we're able to live the way we do, and not get into debt either.


10.He's my best friend, and the best friend I've ever had or will have. I can tell him anything going on in my sometimes crazy brain. I can confide in him, trust him, depend on him, and enjoy his company. Without his company or having him to talk to I would be completely miserable. I depend on his voice, his touch, his laughter, his playfulness, and his personality with all his ups and downs to be happy. I need him, and I'm so so glad that he's mine.

Chillin in the "tanning" bed

Well for the second time in a row, we have a case of Jaundice. Since Scott and I have conflicting blood types and our little munchkins always end up with his blood type, they end up with Jaundice, and have to stay in the lights in the hospital, AND we always end up having to bring a billibed home for him to continue treatment out of the hospital. On the plus side, he's doing great, and improving much faster than Crystal did, and he's handling the bed really well. On the downside, it's affecting his sleeping patterns, which Mom and Dad have to suffer for. Oh well. He's still cute.

Meet Seth!

When I went to the Hospital this morning I was already dilated to a four. Within three hours I was completely dilated and pushing. He came out so fast that his face was pretty bruised up, but he took it like a champ! He weighs 7 pounds 12oz and is 19 inches long. Considering that I was in labor 11 hours with Crystal, the time flew by so fast that it was a totally different experience than last time in every way. All I can say is I am so thankful for the invention of the epidural! We love him so so much! Having a baby is complete proof that there IS such thing as love at first sight! Crystal loves him. She cried and cried that she couldn't take him home with her yet when grandma and grandpa were leaving with her.
