the happy friday dance

yes we sing the happy friday song and do the happy friday dance every week! we love us some friday cause that means we have dad to ourselves all weekend long :)

and this weekend we really get to show just how much we love (hubby) and daddy. and boy, we sure do! how blessed are we? i snapped this photo at lunch today. almost everyday sweet hubby comes home for lunch to help out with the boys, spend a lil time eating lunch as a family and then reading nap time stories before he goes off to work again. i don't take one single day for granted with this wonderful and amazing man! i couldn't ask for a better husband and for a better father to our boys. he amazes me daily with his patience, his genuine giving, his love for me and for the boys, and just all the little details of our life together. some days i'm feeling so tired and then i'll see that he's already unloaded the dishwasher early in the morning on his way to work, or taken out the trash, dressed the boys, changed diapers, made us a fabulous dinner, cleaned up the floors while putting the boys down so that i could take a breather and go on a walk. when i think of all the things he does for our family i am overwhelmed with love and gratitude. he teaches me daily to be a better wife and mother in his gentle and giving ways. truly, this sounds silly,  but the moment i laid eyes on him i thought to myself, i want to marry someone like him. over time my crush grew on this sweet boy as i watched his love for the Lord when he played the guitar in mass and listened to his heartfelt prayers during retreats. we were just friends but i hoped for more. when we started dating i thought he was too good to be true! he seemed perfect in every way. i still feel as though he is my better half, but i know that God truly designed us for each other. I know he feels the same way I feel for him and I feel so grateful and blessed to have found that person. People still comment on how young we are and we got our share of comments on how young we were when we met and got married, but I feel blessed that we did find each other so young. We have experienced everything from our first kiss, to our first love, to marriage, pregnancy, babies, trips, and all the in between. I pray God blesses us with many more days together, because each and every day spent with this amazing man and father is a day I feel grateful to have. So, we are ready to lavish our love on our wonderful (hubby) and daddy this weekend!!!

happy baby boy waking up from his morning nap. i could love on those sweet cheeks all day long. he loves to cuddle and hold his blanket and his little lovey. he rubs it up against his cheek while he drifts off to sleep. so precious.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Especially the fathers, my father-in law and my dad. They taught us so much and we continue to appreciate and need their support and encouragement. They are amazing fathers and I hope they know how much we love and appreciate them!!
