Memorial day

Well this has always been a special day in my heart. Don't know what it started at such an early age. Maybe it was watching all the war movies with my dad as a little kid or reading books about WW2. Anyway, I guess with the way I am joining the Air Force was a logical choice in my life. I have been to Iraq and Korea. My serving doesn't compare to those who sacrificed everything to give us our freedom and those in those country their freedom too. My back ground of this blog is of a foot soldier from WW2 and the banner Stacey made is from the D-Day landings. So if any veterans out there reads this blog or to those who stop by I just wanted to say thanks for your service and my memories are with those who gave their life for this country. I hope to make it Arlington cemetery someday and the beaches of Normandy to see the cemetery there too. God bless this country and may we never take for granted the freedoms we have!!!!

Mother's Day

Well it's Mothers day and it a day to be able to remember Mom. As Stacey can say and everyone else who knows me I am still a mothers boy to this day. I have a great mom, she was there for me no matter what when I was growing up and is still there for me today. It was nice having her here at the end of December. I still remember so many things that I will take with me forever that reminds me of my mom and what she did for me in my life. this might sound stupid but certain smells come back to me that pictures my mom, like the smell of spaghetti sauce cooking all day long, or the smell of tacos and fried tortillas. I also remember getting Dion's Pizza every Saturday or going shopping with her to Safeway. Well there are a lot of memories that I can recall, some funny and some sad, but most of all of a strong determined woman who did what she needed to to make sure I left the house in the right direction and knowing what this life is all about having the testimony I needed. So thank you mom.


Stacey is and awesome woman, one that has it together. She may not think so someday s but she does and she has blessed my life so much since we have been together. She has a ton of patience with me and my short temper, and can just give me that look and I will feel so stupid. She complains that she doesn't cook to well but who cares. the greatest thing that I learned about mothers is to always be there for the kids and she is. No matter what. This past week Tori was in the hospital and I told Stacey that I would stay with Tori and she said no. I asked why and she said because your not her mother and this is what mothers do. Well I can't argue with that. A week from hell has brought out the strength that one needs to see how a person and woman and a mother pulls everyone and everything through in this life. I see how Tori and Calista will be as an awesome mother too and how they are being prepared to be in the same situations as Stacey, her mom and my mom. Guys can not compare to Girls, there is no way, we are way to wimpy when it comes to pain. So Stacey I love you and I want you to always remember that. you are my world and my best half and I love waking up with you by my side every single day.

Stacey's mom is no exception, she always looks out for Stacey and the kids and makes special situations that will make lasting memories for all that call her Grandma and Mom. She does the best Chirtmas parties and makes everyone feel special. Stacey will always call her mom first thing, and so many times I will call Stacey from work and she will say that she is talking to her mom and I'll have to call back later. It's funny how things never change and how over time a child will still feel the need to here mom's voice no matter where they are. Time and distance may stand in the way of seeing our mom's but Stacey and I both know that our moms are only a phone call away or a flight away if needed. Life and how it has been defined is pretty amazing. It makes you realize how precious it is and how lovine our Father in Heaven is that he gave us a mother. There may only be one day to natioanlly reconize mother's but each day is mothers day becasue of what they do and how they do it and how for me and our kids our home is a home because of MOM!




I LOVE YOU STACEY!!!! Happy Mothers Day! Sexy Momma!!!!

That Rat is the word.

Well we have a pet rat, that thinks he is a cat and our little one carries it all over the place all day
long. Even when we had Easter he was around while the kids colored eggs. His name is Rex and he is a Rex breed so hence the name Rex. Plus a clone trooper from Star Wars has the name of Rex. Oh ya we have three cats too that are all scared of him. Oh ya, Wally hates me you can tell by the picture i took and Macavity is just old and overweight and Pedro is........well.....our OCD cat. He also fallows Macavity either to bug her or maybe he likes her. I can’t tell.
