Father's are the BEST!!


Wouldn't you agree? I'm certainly a big fan! I have been so blessed to be surrounded by great fathers my whole life. My own father really is the best! I remember how much I looked up to him as a little kid. All my favorite songs had to do with him; "My daddy is my favorite pal" "I'm so glad when daddy comes home" "My dad's the greatest dad" to name a few. I sang them all the time. He was so great at making time for us and somehow always had energy to play with us after a long days work. He found ways to spoil us and always slipped us a little cash when mom wasn't looking. I'm so blessed and so grateful that Heavenly Father sent me to be a part of his family.


My next closes example of a great dad is my Hubby! It has been so fun this past year and a half to watch him become a father and so naturally take the role. He is such a good daddy! One of my favorite things in the whole world is watching him play with the P-man. Listening to them laugh and giggle is so much fun and brings a huge smile to my face. It has been interesting these past 3 weeks as we went from being a family of 3 to a family of 4 and how it has changed us. Again it has been a rather smooth transition for us, but I feel that I owe a lot of that to Jeff. He is so willing to help and has pretty much taken care of Parker on his own as I re-learn how to take care of an infant. He does so much without me even asking. I'm still curious how he and Emily will interact once she gets a little older, Boys is all Jeff knows with the exception of me and his mom. I know in a few short months she will have him wrapped around his finger. He is such an amazing man and a great father! We are so lucky to have him in our home!



My Father-in-Law is such a great dad too! He has three wonderful boys of his own and it has been so fun to watch him transition into being a grandfather. Before P I had only ever known and envisioned him as my father-in-law and my church leader and for some reason I could not picture him as a grandpa. Let me tell you, he plays the role perfectly!

The past year has been especially fun for me as I watch these three men that I love so dearly interact with my children. What a crucial role fathers play in our lives and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great men and fathers.

I love you!
Thanks for all you do for me and my family.

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
