The end.

Where have the last 2 years gone?!?

Today is Jonah's 2nd birthday and that amazes me. It's gone by so fast and it's so hard to believe how grown up he is. Most people say that they have the cutest, coolest, smartest kid and they believe it even though it's obviously only true with one kid. and that kid is Jonah. Here are some reasons why i love Jonah more than you can imagine and the reasons that make him more cool than even most adults. : )
1/ He watches whatever on TV. I mean whatever. He rarely complains if we watch a show that's not a cartoon, he will sit with us and at least pretend to enjoy it.
2/ He thinks farts are hilarious.
3/ He has slept through the night ever since he was 4 weeks old.
4/ He knows a good amount of brand new and bright eyes and sings and dances to them.
5/ He screams adam's screamo music...
6/ He calls me Ashley.
7/ He calls Jason douche and Toby is known as hobo.
8/ He loves cheese. so much that sometimes he won't stop yelling cheese.
9/ he had surgery at 3months and wore casts on and off for a while so he's tough!
10/ Right now he's wearing undies over his onesie and he doesn't care one bit.
11/ He always throws his trash away.
12/ He loves takng pictures and sometimes he gets some decent ones.
13/ He plays rock band.
14/ He is crazy cute!
15/ He has amazing friends and family and we make him that much cooler. : )
Happy Birthday Jonah!!!

long time, no blog.

wow. its been over a month.

The two daddy's in my life.

Happy Father's day Adam!!!
I honestly never thought before I had jonah that he would mature so fast into this amazing father that he is today. He jumped right into being an amazing dad. He loves to play and teach jonah new things. with how protective and close I am to jonah, you know adam must be amazing for me to work 9 hours and leave jonah in his care! I know that adam will be a great father in all the stages of jonah's life. I see that spark in his eye whenever he talks about or talks to him. Jonah adores his daddy! And so do I!
love you babe!

To my daddy:
I know that we haven't always been on good terms and we have had a lot of rough times but over the past few years I feel like all the things are getting smoothed out. I don't want years later when it's too late to look back and think how you only lived a street away from me but I never knew you. I think that one of God's purposes with having me have Jonah was to bring us together. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how I would love to have you in our life more. I feel like we have already missed out on so much life together already that we shouldn't waste a second. I'm sorry for all the things I did when I was younger. I'm sorry for pushing everyone away and rebelling. I'm sorry for yelling and staying away from home for days. That's all over now and I forgive you for everything as well. Just know dad that I love you and I hope someday to be as close as possible to you.

June passes in June

The Hubby's grandma June passed away on Tuesday this week. She was a very sweet lady. I wish we would have spent more time with her before she passed so that I could have known her better. I will say that I am glad that she did not suffer for a really long time. The last year she has been going but it's been up and down. I'm just glad that she passed away with a very loving family helping take care of her and a great place to live at forest glen. Rest in Peace June. Love you.
