Bumps and Bruises..

ticket to the gun show, the man

Here’s the Man.. and his normal arm…

battered husband, bruise

Here’s his HUGE bruise.. this is a couple of days old when I took it..

He’s not sure how he got it.. I’m pretty sure it was from pulling fire wire

through a 22,000 sq foot building..  Don’t feel bad for him.  When I asked him

how it happened he said; “You know what you did.”

What’s On Your Fridge Door?

I love magnets.. I don’t know why.. I just do.  Magnets with quotes on

them are even better.   I went shopping at The Fridge Door.. Here

are a few I love 🙂

shakespeare the weakest fruit

This one reminds me to keep going..

I get accused of this daily… so why not have a magnet of it?

I believe #3 thinks this every time she looks at me 😉

freak show, my family, no tent

This so fits our family…

This one… well.. I know The Man doesn’t think this

way.. I mean really what other woman has given

birth to his children.. but sometimes when I look at him

just right…. nah.. he loves me 🙂

Happy Father’s Day…

The Man, sexy husband, love of my life

My favorite photo of The Man.. aka.. The Father of my children..

This is an old photo.. about 2 years old.. but shows

The Man with the monkeys.  They look pretty cute huh?

This photo was taken in front of the T-Rex Cafe at the

Legends in Kansas City.  If you’ve never gone.. you need too.

It’s a great place to take your kids!

I wish I could tell you all the things that makes The Man a great father.

I know I will leave something out… but here are a few of the things

that make him a fantastic dad.

1.  He can fix the dishwasher, washer dryer, TV.. you name it.

2. He’s reliable and dependable. In the 16 or so years I’ve known him, he’s called in sick to work 2 times.  One of those times, he was in the hospital over night.. When he was released he went to work for a few hours.

3. He’s always got your back.

4. He listens to every one’s complaint before he makes a decision.

5.  He gets misty eyed when he watches his kids perform.

6.  He’s a good math teacher.

7. He has unbelievable patience.

8. He has a great sense of humor.. when you least expect it, he springs it on you.

9. He has the best “Dad” voice ever..

10. He loves his childrens mother and listens to her whine.. complain.. moan and groan..

11. He has the cutest nicknames for each of our kids.

12. 99% of the time he lets the kids watch whatever they want on TV… and they can sit on his lap while they do it.

Happy Father’s Day to The Man!   We love you!

Where Did the Time Go?

Facebook has this application called “Wedding Book”.  Wedding book keeps track of how many days until your wedding.. and then after your married how many days you’ve been married.  As a joke I put it on my page… and today I’ve been married 5000 days.  The man promised me back at day 4750 (or so) he do something special with me..  I wonder if he’ll remember?

When I was thinking about my blog for today, I was going to put up a photo from our wedding:

wedding day kiss, weddings, you may kiss the bride

A bit blurry.. but you get the point 😉

If you want to see some more wedding stuff go HERE.

Instead I think I am going to embarrass myself a little..  The night before my anniversary I wanted to take a nice photo of  the two of us together.  I totally forgot to do it until he had taken a shower and was in bed.  I got my camera anyway.. and thought “I just snap a couple of cute head shots.. we can make it work.”  You know something like this one:

Ok.. maybe this isn’t a good example.. because well.. it’s not a good

photo..but you get the point.

Here are the photos I took that night:

This looks like he’s some famous guy and I’ve drugged him in order

to get a photo with him. Kind of like in Sixteen Candles when the

geeky Ted takes a photo with Carolyn “the Prom Queen” (who is so

inebriated she can’t open her eyes) so people will believe they were out together.

Not really any better.. but at least he is smiling so you *know* I’m

not taking advantage of him 😉

This one is better.. he sorta has his eyes open..

This one looks like he just woke up from his drug induced stupor

to find some crazy woman next to him.

Happy 5000 Day Anniversary!
