My sons' mother rocks

Although Mother's Day is over I wanted to end the day by writing about the most important woman in my life! My sons' mother! Also known as Emily Kate, Babe, Hottie, or quite simply my wife! Although most of the time I am pretty good with coming up with nice ways to acknowledge these hallmark holidays, today I was at a loss. It was already set up for failure from a Mother's perspective. My family planned a 90th birthday party for my grandpa, a huge accomplishment absolutely, but what it meant was spending a few hours in the car driving a few hundred miles and spending a day focusing on everything except Mommy.

Thankfully my wife is understanding and didn't make to much of stink about it, a few comments here and there, but I don't blame her. If it were Father's Day I doubt I would have been as understanding as she was. I tend to be a little selfish sometimes. Anyway after a long day of traveling and visiting with family members we made it home and I couldn't help but see a little bit of disappointment on her face. Not a whole lot of acknowledgement for her today although it was much deserved. We did decide to devout next Saturday to her but it still must have been pretty hard to get through the day today.

So I have decided to post a list of things that I love best about my sons' mother!! I love you Emily and hope you realize how much I know I don't deserve you but am happy that I got you!!

I love best.........
The way you remind me how important it is to be consistent with our kids
The way you have a schedule and routine and you rarely deviate from it
The way you love our sons
The way you focus on parenting, making sure that you don't create another idiot in the world !!
The way you keep our house clean, it shows how orderly your mind is
The way you always make sure that we have clean clothes to wear
The way you don't settle for less, you know what you want!!
The way you trust me to provide for you
The way you teach our children
The way you laugh
The way you think your the funny one.........maybe you are.....maybe
The way you listen to me when i come up with a new idea or dream
The way you encourage me to be a better, father and husband
The way you light up a room when you walk into it
The way you have a magnetic personality that people are drawn to.
The way your honest and say exactly whats on your mind
The way you treat everything as black and white, there are no grey areas with you
The way you d-party it up! ( if you know what this is then I'm sure you love it best about Em too!!)
The way you use your creative mind to decorate our house
The way you put all of our needs before your own.
The way you love me!!

None of these are in any particular order but they are just a few reasons why I love you best and how my sons are so lucky to have you as their mother!

Happy Mother's Day Emily!
