Here's to my Man!

Happy Birthday to my love, Jonathan!

Some people know that I have this thing with birthdays. I just seem to be good at remembering.

From the most distant relationships, if you've told me your birthday, chances are I'll always remember and think of you on your day. Such was how it was growing up. When May 7th rolled around, I would think of Jonathan. I could kick myself now for not having called and said Happy Birthday to him on all those occasions. Little did I know that my classmate and friend would be my husband someday. So as good fortune would have it, I now get to celebrate with this wonderful man every year. I've decided that just when the magic of birthdays start to wane, our kids jump in and make it magical. Such it was with Kaidence and Chase this morning. They hugged and kissed Jonathan, put candles on his pancakes, held him in suspense for his big time gift (a pair of flip-flops) and sang Happy Birthday. I'm so glad that kids have that special magic.

As for Jonathan, he is working hard preparing for his last block finals of the year. What a feeling of relief and gratitude to have the first year almost behind us. I've got to hand it to Jonathan for keeping everything cool. He has had one terriffic and successful year. We know we have been very blessed. I'm so grateful for his life, his amazing family, our friendship, and most of all the love we share and the family we are raising together. Here's to 29 great years and another 100 to go. Can't imagine what life will bring us from here to there. Happy Birthday handsome!!!!

Love,

Staci Rocha said...: We hope you had a great birthday! Cute family picture! I remember when you came to visit us in Meridian, 2-3 years ago. And it was Rolo's birthday and you guys gave him those really cool monkeys (hear no evil, speak no evil) He put those monkeys in his office! It was nice to have you visit and celebrate with us, I can't believe how fast time flies!

You all look so happy :) Keep Smilin :); May 9, 2008 at 5:47 AM

Kids say the funniest things...

November 18, 2013 Sophia says "This is the happiest lollipop I have ever licked." (Sophia turned 5 today). November 9, 2013 Kian says "Mom, my mouth is telling me it wants chocolate chips." October 5, 2012, Sophi says "Romney's our guy right?" (She's been hearing a lot about Mitt Romney lately) May 10, 2012 Sophi asks, "Mom, how did you turn smart?" March 15, 2012 At breakfast Sophia informed me that she is going to be a "Big Mama" like me when she grows up. That made me proud. :) January 15,2012...After watching my friend's baby for the afternoon, Kaidence made it pretty clear that I need to ask Heavenly Father for another baby and she insisted that she listen to my prayer tonight to make sure I ask. :) January 2012, Sophia convinced me to push her bed up against the wall and that night, Kaidence said, "I just know I'm going to wake up on the wrong side of the bed tomorrow." December 2011 Kaidence said, "Mom, I'm sure glad Heavenly Father picked you to be my mom, because he picked the right one." December 2011 Chase said, "Mom, I know this is a weird question, but does the tooth fairy believe in Jesus?" March 2011 Chase says to me one day, "Mom, did you you know that oatmeal sticks to you?" I called Sophia my little buddy the other day and she quickly repremanded me, "Mom, I'm not your buddy, I'm your Sophi." February 2011 Chase "Dad, there's something you don't know about me. I'm an artist." Kaidence "Mom, I've got 'duck bumps' isn't that what you call them?" (referring to goosebumps). Chase said, "Emily's sister said that I have to marry my best friend, so I'm going to marry Raegan." January 2011 Kaidence "I can't wait to go to Candyland." Sophia "I want a hot dog" (meaning an under dog on the swing) April 15, 2010 Kaidence and Chase had been fighting over a toy while I was on the phone...When I got off of the phone I asked them, "How should you have handled that?" Chase didn't skip a beat. He said, "in doing good to all men." March 21, 2010 I said "Chase you are such a good boy!" He replied, "No I'm not, I'm a coconut" Later in the day....Chase says "Look Mom, my forehead is blocking my eyes" and.... "Mom can we go to 'Chucky Cheesits'?" March 12, 2010 Kaidence: "Daddy is pretty strong. He could probably fight an adult." March 8, 2010 Kaidence: "I can't wait to have 'teeter totters' for dinner." (tater tots) February 28, 2010 Kaidence: "I like how you 'shrimped' my hair today" (I had gotten out the old 'crimping' iron and 'crimped' Kaidence hair)
