3 Guys & A Gal

I want to introduce some very important people in my life.  We'll start with this guy...

My husband, Brandon is one of the hardest working people I know.  He is also has an OCD cleaning habit - but we'll get to that later.  My guy is a firefighter and makes us proud to call him ours everyday.  He is a GREAT dad to our boys, I am one lucky girl.  Life wouldn't be what it is without him and all that he does for us on a daily basis.  I am very thankful he asked me out on that first date many years ago. 

Next is ...

Conner Matthew.  He is smart, so very smart and compassionate, athletic, sensitive, and sometimes a little snarky.  He has brought so much to me in 12 years and I continue to learn from him every day. He is the first person to teach me that my heart can live outside of my body.  And even though he is in junior high now and has a big group of friends, he is quick to hug and kiss him mom at any time.  He takes his big brother role very seriously as he does with every other role he plays in his life - son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, teammate.  I sometimes have to remind him that he doesn't have to carry the world on his shoulders, he just has to enjoy life, learn lessons, make mistakes, and live everyday to the fullest.  He is going to do great things in this world, his heart is so much bigger than his body.

Last but not least is...

Lucas William.  My 4 year old bundle of chaos and love.  He has taught me the ultimate lesson in patience.  The complete opposite of his big brother.  And I love every bit of him.  He reminds me that its ok to run and dance in the rain, that pizza rolls should be a breakfast food, and to never sweat the small things.  He is my Lukie and I am his Momma.  His quick wit keeps us on our toes and our hands in front of our mouths to stop the laughing.  He has a very honest personality and it is refreshing, he will always tell you what he is thinking and feeling.  I always said since the day he was born that he is going to change the world.  I'm not sure how, but I know. 

These are my boys.  My reason for waking up each morning.  My reason for falling in bed exhausted each night.  Its not always easy, but they are my life.
