For Father's Day

About my husband...he is an incredible dad. Words really can't describe the type of man he is but he is amazing. I knew this about him long before I had Luke.

He has always been great with Tyler. He was sweet, caring, compassionate and ever so patient with her from the day he met her. He takes time with her to show her little things he thinks she will like. He will randomly call her out in the yard to show her a frog or a bird with its nest or anything that will make ty excited. He teases her and brushes her teeth and hair. He doesn't have to do these things because she isn't his biological child but he does them because he loves her! Ty and Alan share a love for grubs and the longhorns. They have their own love of things like that and I just don't get it but I am glad he is the man he is and that he has taken a true liking to her.

Now about him and Luke...i don't know how many times a day I hear from Alan "just look how precious he is" or "look at that smile" or "he is such a handsome man." Luke and Alan have a mutual love for each other. Luke looks up to his daddy with such awe and amazement in his eyes. You can see that even at 7 month (7 months today!) that he wants to be like his daddy. And I couldn't choose a better role model for my little boy. He is hardworking, fun loving, dedicated and self sacrificing. He gives to us fully and he couldn't be a better dad or husband.

Thanks for being the man you are and the dad you are. Thats why I love you!

wanna smile?

look at my beautiful family! http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8Abs2TVy0aN23_

11 Years Ago yesterday...

I learned what love at first site is
I saw what real beauty was
I experienced a first!
I became an aunt for the very first time! This amazing event has recreated itself 3 other times but there sure is something to say about the first time!
My niece Maddy was born 4/28/97!
I was 17 and a senior in high school and boy did I love that little girl! Boy do I still love that not so little girl!
Maddy has been a true blessing to our family! She is a sweet level headed girl with a heart of gold!
If you think I am crazy about her you should hear her mini-me talk about her! Tyler thinks she is the best thing ever. If Maddy loves it Ty does too. If maddy will eat it ty will too. If Maddy says it then it is written in stone!

SO my birthday message to one special girl! Maddaroo Baby loves you and the last 11 years have been super special. The next 11 years hold some big events for you and I can't wait to be a part of them! Some of my favorite memories of you are I got to take you for your first pedicure, seeing your first dance recital, spending all my hard earned babysitting money on you. OH and I still really really love you eventough you broke my most favorite new york snow globe! Keep being who you are and I am so proud of who that is and can't wait to see who that becomes!
