An Ordinary Guy, with an Extraordnary Love

7 years ago Yesterday, A family of 4 was united.Stacy & Corbin became bond together with Ethan & I. Yesterday Stacy & I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. Let me tell you alittle about my ORDINARY Guy. He is always putting his family 1st. He has a love for his family that has no end. Working hard for his family is just something he will always do. His idea of a perfect day is spending the whole with me and the boys. He is the hero of our children. No one can scare off monster quite like daddy can. A man of faith and family. Most people do not realize just how smart he is, but let me tell you friend, brilliant he is. A shy and quite guy is what most see. When I look at him I see........ A funny, loving, brilliant, lover of life, friend of God, the perfect example of what a man should be, handsome, selfless ,hero of my dreams.

Stacy~

what a blessing you are to the children & I. You are the best thing that could of happen to me. We have been through thick & thin, Richer & poorer, sickness & health, young & hopefully old. You have shown me a love that know no limit. You are the best example of what a man should be. You have always said that you are lucky, but please know that your children and I are the blessed one. I love you with every bit of my soul. Your know my secrets and love me anyways. You let me be just the way I am, with no apologies. I will stand beside you. I am so proud of you. You amaze me. So with this I say Happy Anniversary, my love. You are my super Hero. Just a Ordinary Guy with an EXTRAORDNARY love!

So Sad

so with a sad heart I write this post. I was not able to attend my cousin's wedding. I wanting to go to see all my family member that I haven't seen in forever. I could not wait to show off my family, but I guess that my back had other plans. I am still having trouble walking. I have no idea what it is I did to my back, I just hope and pray that I will be back on my feet before long. Stacy has been a GOD send. He has taken over all the duties that I normally handle without complaint. He has wore the hat of Mr. MOM with pride and joy.

Can you say "painful?"

Today has been a day from you know what. I somehow hurt my lower back. It was hurting yesterday, but not to bad. So I went to my wonderful Dr. B and he gave me muscle relaxer and pain pills. I took my meds last night and had a wonderful nights sleep. This morning before I went to pick Spencer up, my back spasmed and I was unable to walk. The scary part was I was carrying my sweet baby boy. I make it to the bed and was able to lay the baby down and slowly very slowly crawl into bed. Than a got Gus to get me a phone and I called Stacy. So to make a long story short, Stacy picked up Spencer and saved the day. Meanwhile I doped myself up and tried to feed my baby, followed by a nice long nap. Once I woke up the fun started. At this point I am not able to stand straight, but was able to get to the recliner in the livingroom. Hopefully I will contiune to improve so that I can make it to my cousin's wedding in Sand Springs. Keep me in your prayer, please. As my children know that I am not 100% and are taking this time to act out. That is all for now.!!!!

Ice, Ice Baby or I mean house!

When to the ice house to get some test shots, and this is the results. I love this building. I can't get enough of it. I LOVE the ones with Stacy and Tabor. I need to use Stacy in more test pics, he was a handsome subject, and he listened unlike my kiddos!

More practice, Outside this time!

Tabor is wearing a onesie that Ms. Amanda bought him before he was born. I love the colors. I know, you are tired of the teal rug, but he looks so good on it. I was also playing around with poses, here is the result. Tabor was trying to nurse Spencer's ear, but I thought it was to cute to pass up! Enjoy!

P.S. Tabor is also wearing Babyleggs, and they are NOT just for girls.

Sunset

This was a beautiful sunset that I happened to see over the houses here. I love the one with the tree. I think I will call that one "The Burning Bush."

Practice, Practice, Practice

Just messing around

A Special family to me.

This is a very special family to me. A little weird for some, but "NORMAL" to me. These beautiful children belong to my 1st husband David and his beautiful wife Angela. We have been blessed with a loving relationship to co-parent our son Ethan. I know that most people do not have a good relationship with their ex spouses, but with the Grace of God we have managed. We have laughed, cried, honored and respected each other and their family. I hope that as the years pass, we are still this brave in our journey to co-parent our wonderful son. This family is a Godly family and has seen there share of sorrow. They have lost more than most will ever know. Both Angela and David have shown strength that I have little understanding of. They have shown faith and determination that leave me speechless. With this I have a love and respect for you both as a mom, dad, daughter, son and most of all as a loving Couple. I hope that our son is taking notes, so that he will grow to be a honorable man like both of his dads and will look for a wife like yours. Hugs to you both. Your are in my prayers!

Captain Adorable

This little outfit was Tabor's best friend Knox's. I can remember when little Knox wore this outfit. Man, they are all growing up way too fast!

Playing and Learning

This evening after dinner we set out to find some great places for pictures. We ended up in Fink park, across from UCO. I am learning how to work my camera, getting used to all the differnt setting. This time it was the F-stop. Kinda mind bottling;0)! lol Anywho, this is what I ended up with. Hope you enjoy!

Without my flash

I was wanting to play with my camera without the flash, so natural light it is. Stacy & I have always loved the old ice house building, and I wanted to get some shot of it to see what it would look like on film. SO, here are some of the pictures that I thought were good enough to put on here. What do you think?

Happy St Patricks Day

A day at the park!

We spent most of last night at the park. It was a wonderful day to be outside. The boys ran themselves ragged! Bedtime is alot easier when they are tired from playing outside.

Tabor smiling!

7 weeks old yesterday! He is smiling. Oh what a wonderful feeling as a parent when you know that your baby is smiling just for you. It makes my heart melt. I am in deep trouble when he gets older and worms his way out of trouble with this crooked little grin. All of his brother's have beautiful smiles, so I guess that it runs in the family. It seems that the world has came into focus for this little guy. He is paying attention to lots of details and follow me with his eyes as I walk across the room. He loves to look at his older brother when they talk to him. They are completely taken with him, that is until he learns to crawl and starts after toys. Tabor is sleeping most of the night, but must wake at least once for a feeding. (He has to keep the cheeks chubby.) He is growing so fast, it seem that I blink and he has changed from a newborn to a infant. Oh the joy that this little guy brings to this family!

So much like Dad!
