...in love...

Do you remember what it was like when you fell in love with your spouse? How you could never quite verbalize the feeling of how much love you had for that one person?

Well, it's like that feeling all over again but now there's 2 men in my life that i am madly in love with, and somehow i still can't find the words to describe it!


I am such a sucker for these two! I think of how much they look like eachother, and how i can't wait until I can hear Kaleb say 'daddy' and get to see him copy his dad and watch them become best buddies. I am so thankful Jared is the man my son will pattern his life after!

I was on my way home from work the other day and this song came on the radio, which turned me into a ball of tears and blissful gratitude for my boys :)

'I've Been Watching You Dad'

Driving through town just my boy and me
with a happy meal in his booster seat
knowing that he couldn't have the toy
till his nuggets were gone

Green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath
as fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
well then my four year old said a four letter work
that started with "s" and i was concerned
so i said son, now where'd you learn to talk like that

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
yeah we're just alike, hey aint we dad
I wanna do everything you do
so i've been watching you

We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and prayed real hard
said Lord please help me help my stupid self
Then this side of bedtime later that night
turning on my son's Scooby Doo nightlight

He crawled out of bed and he got down on his kneed
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
and spoke to God like he was talking to a friend
and I said son, where'd you learn to pray like that

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We like fixing things and holding Mama's hand
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So i've been watching you

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said my little bear is growing up
He said but when i'm big I'll still know what to do

Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
Then I'll be strong as you and Superman
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I've been watching you

Brought tears to my eyes...I love it...I'm so thankful that Jared came into your life, couldn't ask for a better husband for you and daddy of your children.

I love that song. I am so glad you and Jared are in each others life. Kaleb will have a fantastic childhood, and be a wonderful young man I know it!

I love that song too! Jared is such a cute dad! He is so sweet with Kaleb and you can totally already tell Kaleb loves him back! I am glad that Jared is in your life too and that because both of our awesome husbands are cousins, we all get to be family! I love it and am grateful for both of you. AND you are a great mommy too! Josh and I were talking about it the other day... he said, Becky, is just a natural. Like being a mom is what is is meant to do. She is so great with Kaleb, its amazing! Like she has been doing it all her life!
I agree! We love you guys!!
