My WONDERFUL Husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya'll, I've got a WONDERFUL husband!!! I could go on and on about how hard he works for our family, how he allows me to stay and home and actually believes that it is a job and a calling for his wife to be at home, how he loves our boys, etc... The last few days he's absolutely reminded me how proud of him that I am, so I thought I'd brag on him!

This is the boys at the school book fair, Jonathan LOVES that his boys love books. Don't get me wrong he loves that they like taekwondo and basketball and fishing but he is so impressed that they love to read books and he loves to buy them for him, sometimes when the boys are gonna get a prize for doing something that's what he'll buy them, books.

This is my WONDERFUL husband who knows nothing about appliances but will dig into a problem and figure it out. He doesn't automatically call the repair man, he gets his tools out and gets to work himself. This is what happened in our house just a little bit ago, my dishwasher wasn't working, so he FIXED IT!!! He looked at the electric stuff, looked at the motor, figured out where the problem was and fixed it!!!!

It was not an easy job to even get started with! The wonderful builder layed the tile and grout right up to the bottom of the dishwasher, so he had to bust the grout out b/f he could even pull the washer itself out. Jalyn loves to "work" with his daddy...so cute.

Working away...

This is the car he traded his truck for. His truck was at the point of fixing to need some major repairs to keep it running correctly. A friend of his in Bryan has always been interested in his truck so he ended up trading vehicles...Jonathan says he got the way better end of that deal but such a blessing that we won't have those truck repairs coming!

What else? My throttle body on my expedition was going out and kept randomly dying on me when I was driving and he got another one for $80 compared to $300!!!!!!!! He not only will do the work himself he will do his best to research and find a great deal.

Have I said how WONDERFUL he is?!?!

Here's the real kicker......his ankle area has been hurting him for about 3 weeks now, well there's no telling how he hurt it...banged it on some stacks of trays, jumped out wrong of the diesel, etc....We've still been working out while he's been saying how much its bothering him, he's been going to work, basically going on with life. Well he decided since it was still hurting him and he's on vacation next week he'd get it checked out and if he needed something for it he could rest it and take the med's all next week while he's not having to miss work. He went into the doctor and get this....his leg has a HAIR LINE FRACTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doctor said he would usually put a boot on it for about 3 weeks to let it heal BUT since its already been about that amount of time he's just gonna let him rest it next week and check it in 2 more weeks. (I seriously wonder sometimes if our high pain tolerances sometimes do more harm to us than good!!!) So my WONDERFUL husband has been working not only his regular days but some extra ones with a fractured bone!!!!!! He's such a great husband, I'm so proud that he's mine!!!

Taekwondo Testing Time!

Today was Jon Michael's testing for blue tab (he has a green belt with a blue tab, which means his next belt is all blue). Here's pictures from his testing.

This is what Jalyn does for the hour and a half during testing...McDonalds, toys, nintendo ds game, etc....

Sparring was done with their hands tied behind their backs..very fun to watch.

This is his self-defense...do you see him tripping that girl?!?!

And now taking her down?!?!

It's all good...she got him back!!!

What a sweet gentle smile on her face while she takes him down!!! I love it! Is it ok to enjoy watching your son being wiped out by a little girl?!?! Maybe that'll keep him in line as he grows up!!!!!!

Kicks...

Doing his break...got it on the first try!

Getting his board signed by the owner of Cypress Taekwondo.

Mr. Roy signing his board, this was one of his preschool teachers when he first started taekwondo.

Big smiles with his broken board!

A Boy and His Dog...

A Boy and His Dog,Edgar Guest

A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:No better friendship is found anywhere,For they talk and they walk and they run and they play,And they have their deep secrets for many a day;And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.He may go where he will and his dog will be there,May revel in mud and his dog will not care;Faithful he'll stay for the slightest commandAnd bark with delight at the touch of his hand;Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.No other can lure him away from his side;He's proof against riches and station and pride;Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breathIs lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death;He sees the great soul which the body conceals--Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels!

Happy Valentines Day!

Make a Smilebox greeting

Sometimes You Just Need A Good Laugh!!!

I've been wanting to post these pictures for awhile but this week I decided I really needed a good laugh....I thought some of you might also!

This is a card that Jon Michael got at his birthday party....I think it'll be a keeper...something I pull out when I need to forget myself and laugh it up.

Just in case you couldn't read that, here's a larger picture!


Yep,...it says "poop"!!! Did you see that the card was from a family with only boys, imagine that, huh?!?!
Love it!!!! Smile so big every time I read it!!! Thanks for the laugh, Crumptons!!!!

What a Wonderful Dad!!!

My husband is a great dad! He does things for my boys that I would automatically say no to without even thinking. He totally understands the concept that they're boys and sometimes they need to do fun boy things.

Football practice with Dad.

Fencing practice with Dad.

"Camping in the living room!"

The tent is big enough for us all to sleep in OUTDOORS...not meant to be used indoors...in fact that was probably printed somewhere on a tag that started with the words, "IMPORTANT, CAUTION, OR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"...followed by instructions that said to not set the tent up in your living room....but whatever, who needs to read crazy instructions, when the boys want to have fun and camp inside!!!

Like I said, he's a great dad, he makes the boys smile and me too when I can stand back and watch the fun things he's doing with the boys that they are thoroughly enjoying.

Pick Your Battle...

For those of you that are parents....you know the saying, "You have to pick or choose your battles." with your kids?

This was one of those days! Jalyn was so excited he figured out how to wear his rockets "uniform" while wearing "warm" clothes!

Believe me I did try to get him to change the pants at least but I could tell it was going to become a battle so I let it go and right now he's in the front room playing and having a great time!

We'll see what happens when we go out in public later!
