Happy Birthday Cookie!






Thirty six years ago a woman gave birth to a baby boy who grew up to be my dream come true! Happy Birthday to the best husband, father, confidant, supporter, son, brother, and friend a person could ask for. Happy 36th Birthday Cookie!

Cookie and I have celebrated many birthdays together at this point in our lives and they are very different now than they once were. This year was a very low key year, I was in class all day and the boys have all been sick so we celebrated with some singing, cake, and a few homemade gifts.

Only four more years till the big 40....I better get planning the bash now!

Did you know....


Did you know that fifty, yes fifty years ago the world welcomed one of the most amazing people into it, my mom!!! Happy Birthday to the world's greatest mother anyone could ever ask for. I am extremely blessed to have such a wonderful example of a mother, sister, wife, daughter, friend, and woman. She is someone who has always put others first and I hope that in the years to come she actually starts to put herself first because Lord knows she deserves it!

Happy Birthday Mom, I love you & wish we were there to celebrate with you but I am hoping to be busy birthing a baby!!!

That one person...

We all have that one person in the world that makes our day that much easier or that we smile when we think of them...well for Samuel that is Uncle Jay! Samuel is obsessed with Uncle Jay and simply put thinks he is the best thing next to a chocolate chip cookie. If he had it his way he would just hang out with Uncle Jay all day and night and sadly for Uncle Jay this equals being constantly harassed by Samuel. Hey there are worse things in the world than being loved and worshiped by my favorite afro puff headed almost 2 year old!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!!!

Today is the day the world's most original Papa was brought into this world! I am so happy to say that my boys have the best papa in the world and when it comes to his children and grandchildren there is nothing he would not do. This amazes me at times considering he is an only child and never really had to give anything up for anyone else. I want to take the chance to thank my father for a few gifts he has given me in life that he may not even know about, thank you for giving me the gift of gab that I have, my love for travel, my appreciation of music, and my guilty love of ice cream and little Debbie snacks! Thank you for introducing me boys to matchbox cars and always having a new one for them when you seen them, thank you for giving Elijah his first fishing experience, and thank you for getting down and playing with them even after you have worked hard all day. Daddy, overall thank you for being you and as much as we pick on you and jab you about certain things we love you for who you are and the entertainment and great stories you bring to our family!!!!

We love you Papa, Happy Birthday!!!!

An Amazing Mother!

Guess who I am talking about???? My sister Shannon! She is one of the most amazing people that I know & I am extremely proud & honored to call her my sister and my friend. She is a mother that I look up to & I would strive to be like. Her ability to handle all of the daily stresses that are handed to her and still be a great mom is simply amazing to me. What amazes me even more is that she is finally taking the time to take care of herself and schedule some "me time" for a mom who really gives a 110%!!!

I love you Shannie & thank you for making me laugh everyday at the crazy things that you say and actually think!

Happy Father's Day to my partner in this crazy family of ours, Cookie! I am so impressed by the dad you are and I think our boys are extremely lucky to have you as an example of the man that they should become. I know I do not tell you it very often but I think you are amazing!






Also Happy Father's Day Daddy & Grandpa I miss you both and hope you each have a fantastic day!!!!

30 years old FINALLY!!!!



HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY SHANNON!!!!!!
I can not believe that my sister is finally 30 years old. I feel like it has taken her a long long time to get here but I am glad she made it in one piece. I love my sister more than she even knows. I look up to her as mother, a person, and as a women who stands by her beliefs. She is in fact one of the strongest women I know and amazes me on a daily basis with the amount of struggles and obstacles she is able to over come and handle. Hell, it is not easy raising a seven year old who knows more than you do or a four year old who needs to eat every 22 minutes (at least). So, Happy Birthday Shannie I know that this new decade is going to be the best yet!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Today William turns 7! I can not believe it. Where have the past seven years gone? William is amazing! I love him sometimes more than my heart can handle & often when I even say his name I get tears in my eyes because he is such a special person.

Help Wanted....

My father sent this too me & I had to share!


POSITION:

Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma, Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop



JOB DESCRIPTION:

Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an
often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent
communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable
hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour
shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to
primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports
tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.



RESPONSIBILITIES:

The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least
temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue
repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and
be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this
time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small
gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must
screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of
multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize
social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be
a willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million
cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for
the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end
product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial
work throughout the facility.


POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:

None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without
complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that
those in your charge can ultimately surpass you


PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.


WAGES AND COMPENSATION:

Get this... You pay them!!! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A
balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that
college will help them become financially independent. When you die,
you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this
reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could
only do more.


BENEFITS:

While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition
reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this
job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional
love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.


OH... AND AS A FOOTNOTE: THERE IS NO RETIREMENT... EVER!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIO LUIGI!!!

Happy Birthday to Samuel's Godfather Zio (uncle) Luigi!!! The boys and I had a lot of fun making homemade birthday cards for him. Elijah, thinks Luigi is the best playmate ever! He was very sad today when we were leaving to go get his hair cut & not going to Zio Luigi's birthday party. He was so upset that he had a complete meltdown and wanted me to call Michelle and ask her why there was no party.

Happy Birthday Luigi we hope you have a great day & a fantastic year ahead!

Happy Anniversary!!!!

Happy Anniversary to us! The weather was the same four years ago, crisp, chilly, and sunny. At this time I was about to get my hair done and was over the moon excited of the day that I had dreamed of & it was finally ahead of us. Four years later I am living a dream I didn't even know I had! Cookie thank you for being a wonderful husband, a supportive friend, a shoulder for me to always lean on, someone for me to laugh & cry with, and for being an amazing father!

I love you more today than the day I married you!

A Britter Sweet Visit

Michelle, was in town this past weekend to visit her 96 year old Grandmother who had fallen and broken her hip, that is the bitter part. The sweet part was she stayed with us and really got some quality time with the boys. Elijah is head over heals in love with his Godmother and thinks she is the best playmate and car racer ever! He has asked for her every morning since she left in hopes that she will be here to play and hang out with him, she really has a knack with these kids I tell ya! An added bonus was also that Cookie and I got to go out to dinner, a sort of date if you will. Samuel was not as cooperative as we would of hoped but nothing a little rocking and loving from a patient and caring Godmother couldn't handle.

While writing the out some monthly bills I noticed the date today October 20Th, paused and realized that 13 years ago a handsome 20 yr old student from BU asked a short 19 year old girl with big butt to dance and she said yes!!! Now 13 years later they have two sons, a dog, and a house! Wow it seems like only yesterday that I was giving my number to Cookie and hoping he would call!

I love you babe & thanks for asking me to dance!!!!
