My Husband Rocks

June 30th means absolutely nothing to Jeffrey. For me on the other hand, I have waited for this day for many months. Some of you already know where this is going. June 30th is the release of Eclipse. Jeffrey could care less. In fact he thinks its ridiculous but because I am interested he watched the first two movies so that he can go with me to see the third. Jeffrey rocks because I didn't ask him to do any of this. I wouldn't dream of asking him to sit through this movie or the other two for that matter but he did it because he loves me.

Sometimes it's the silly little things.

Wonder

My husband is so crafty. He took different pieces of this and that and made all three kids toys. It took him hours and hours from days and days but I think he would agree with me saying that their faces made it all worth it.

This is one of the many reasons I love him. His mind fascinates me.

Art Show

Kati's school displayed several pieces of art work from every student and invited friends and family to come for a viewing. Kati was so proud of herself and so were we.

Their Dad Rocks

Tonight while I was at work Jeff took the kids to a park to fish. When I got home it was nearly two hours past bedtime but I couldn't send them to bed because they all had such a great time they had to talk my ear off. I got to hear all about big fish and little fish. Tiny turtles and turtles in the road. Pb&j's and gatorade. And many many other things.

'Nough said.

To say that he is a mess is an understatement.

Bug

Just trying out a new effect Jeff told me about.

The weather has been so nice lately we have had to make some fishing trips.

I thought this was so interesting. I've never seen down a catfish throat.

Their Dad Rocks

The kids and I were strolling down the cereal isle at Wal-mart when a nice looking Hispanic woman comes along side of us. She takes a long look at me and says, "No way". My mind is now frantically trying to place her face. I'm tracing as far back as high school because it wouldn't be the first time someone from high school remembered me but I didn't remember them. That's always so embarrassing.
Nope, couldn't place her and then she says, "Are you Jeff's wife?". Now I really don't know who she is. She introduces herself as Lisa from his job. It would have helped me place her if she told me what she did at his job. As far as I am concerned everyone's last name from his job is just really their job description. If she had said I'm Lisa from inventory I total would have known who she was.
She recognized our children. I can't even really remember all that we said to each other. What I took away from that conversation is that my kids dad rocks. He is such a proud papa that a woman we have never met face to face is able to recognize my children because he shows so many pictures and talks about them so often. I don't think many dads do that. What a blessing for my children. He is their biggest fan.

My manly man husband sings to his kids at night. Nearly ever night for years and they love it. It something they look forward to and he lovingly does.

Bear-Bear

Bear's got this thing going and he has done it for a while now. At first I thought it was sheer laziness. When I would send Bear to get socks in the morning he would come back with two different socks. This went on for days before he came in with socks I knew had already been matched and folded over. When asked about it he said he just likes them that way. So as part of his birthday present we got him several pairs of character socks so he can mix and match all he wants.

My kids have great fashion sense

Catch of the day

He is quirky

and sneaky. Sometime during the early night Timbo snuck out of his bed and made this lovely line of toys. No surprise to us really, he does it often. What we found so cute came later that night. Nightly Bo gets up to make a potty trip. One of us accidentally messed up his line on the way to the bathroom. Even in his sleepy stupor he still noticed and had to readjust everything before he could return to sleep announcing "Now they will be already for me to play with in the morning". What a cutie.

because he is willing to work two jobs to take care of his family. Some days he works from 6 in the morning until 11 at night.

Just around the block

We haven't seen ol' buddy AirBud in a while so we made a special stop with carrots bought just for him. Needless to say he was glad to see us. It has been so long since we have gone that it was like the first time for Timothy. It was precious to watch his face. On a side note Kati and Bear were braver than they have ever been.

Jeff took the kids to this park one weekend and they loved it so much they invited me along two weeks later. It had a great little spot for fishing and the poles where in the back of my car.
I love that Bear does the whole tongue on the side of his mouth thing when he is concentrating just like Grandpa.

Bug relaxed and watched the birds fly over head

while Bo spent time throwing bread at the, I mean, to the ducks.

So full of sass.

I love this picture. Not really sure why. Maybe it's because moments after this was taken a large ball of bread came flying at me from a very handsome man with a smile on his face.
