Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Dad! I love him so much... and I am so glad that I was blessed with a dad that always came to our games, performances, and supported us in anything we were doing. He has always made me feel so special and I love him so much for everything he's ever done for me! He is such an amazing Grandpa, and will always take the girls on walks or anything else to keep them entertained so that us ladies can visit! lol. I love you Dad!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Husband also. He is such a great dad, and Alexis just loves him to pieces. From the day Alexis was born Jonathon has been so invloved. He changed diapers.. got up with her in the middle of the night.. took care of her when she was sick.. gave her baths.. and anything else that was ever needed. I feel so blessed that Jonathon has always been a dad that makes sure to give Lexi lots of hugs and kisses and a whole lot of attention. She has him wrapped around her little finger :)

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
