For The Love Of Daddy

Ahhh, for the love of my awesome daddy! Where would I be without him? He has been there through every step of my life always backing me, pushing me and saving my behind and today is no different!

My day starts at 7:30 am with Andre crawling into my bed saying "Mom" for one reason or another every 3-5 seconds no joke thats how some days are here. As the day continues Andre doesn't stop saying "Mom" for whatever reason and as of about 5 min ago it just didn't stop. Until I make a desprate call to my dad who swoops in to save my sanity! If that isn't love I don't know what is!

Don't get me wrong I love my children with every bit inside me but every parent should know there are just those days where if you don't get a break your going to seriously hurt someone and I was at that point today.

Praise the lord for dad!

"Toast In My Eye"

Ah for the love of children. Last night as Mike and I were sitting watching "Till Death" the first scene showed the man bitting down on a peice of toast which so happened to have a peice fly off and hit him in the eye. Yes it was funny and even Andre laughed so as the night goes on and the boys get put to bed my conversation with Andre goes as followed.

Andre:"Mom"
Me:"Yes"
Andre:"I have to go potty"
Me:"Okay go"
Andre"Okay I'm done, come close the door and give me a kiss please"
Me:"Okay"
Andre:(rubbing his eyes)"Mom, I have toast in my eye"
Me:(trying hard not to laugh)"I don't think you do but let me check, nope just a finger"
Andre:"Laughter"

How wonderful it is to have small children to pick everything up and use it to stall bedtime, make you laugh and bless your night!

A Little Background

I'm a 25 year old mother and wife who often wonders how I got to where I am now. Though life moves slowly in the moment when you take a look back at the last 6 years its been quite the whirlwind.

I met my husband 7 years ago on "the ave" and never would have guessed that we would end up where we are now. He and I ran with different crowds but those crowds merged at some point and so here we are. The road hasn't been easy by any means but if it were easy then there wouldn't be history.

In the course of the 7 years we have been pregnant 4 times and have two living angels and two angels watching over us. These hard times have put strain on us but have also brought us closer.

Our two living angels are Andre born 7/21/04 and Kaleb born 2/27/07 they bring us so much joy I just don't have words for it. These two couldn't be more different but they are both loving, caring, beautiful children who have beautiful spirits.

Mike(my husband) and I did things a little backwards we had Andre and then two years later we got married and then came Kaleb. Doing things this way wansn't easy by any means but its how it happened and I wouldn't change any of it for it makes me who I am and us who we are. Everything happens for a reason right?

So that is a little background on who I am and who some of the people mentioned in the next posts to come are. This is our life and through life we try to laugh with it if you can't laugh with life then it can really bring you down so lets get on with the laughing!
