Happy Birthday Jen!

So before you read on yes I know my wife's birthday was yesterday but I was so busy in trying to get home to celebrate I had no extra computer time so here it is now!

YEAH HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!


So we have a tradition in my family that started with my Dad that on your birthday you don't get the same old Happy Birthday song sung to you in the morning (sorry if I offended anyone), but my Dad raised me to know good rock and roll when you hear it and nothing beats the Birthday song by the Beatles to celebrate your birthday. Here you go! Get ready Mason!


So let me tell you why I am married to the most amazing person. This past month has been so exciting and we both have grown so much as we have become parents (not to mention the lack of sleep and trying to get used to that yeah right). But Jen is something else! She is the best mom ever. She is so loving and caring with our little Mason that words cannot describe. I just went back to work after a 3 week hiatus and everyday I come home I see her holding our little guy in trying to calm him down as he has been fussy, making sure he eats enough so he can grow a bit more, even teaching him by laying him on the floor and working with him to look or lift his little head. She is awesome.


(This picture was taking by Jen's Aunt Jackie...who is also amazing. She took the most beautiful pictures of Mason and our family. Thanks again Jackie! We cannot thank you enough)

She is also an amazing wife! Let me tell you why...

1- Jen is so patient with me and has been for a long time. Through school and work. Everything I get myself into she is so loving, and helps me work through my situations

2- She is a hottie! I mean come on did you not look at the picture above. She is precious. It's like that feeling when something just goes right in your life or day. It just completes a moment. Jen does that for me. Everyday!

3- Jen is the most loving person I know. Her heart is in the right place. She loves not only our family but takes time to love others as well. She is always telling me something that she wants to do for her family, friends, and loved ones to make there day a little brighter.

4- Jen has passion! She loves to complete a project or finish a to do list (which we will be doing this weekend). She strives to the end of everything.

5- She cares for me. Everyone knows I am a baseball nut and she goes out of her way to share some baseball moments. She even plays softball with some friends to give me my fix.

6- She is spiritual! This might sound weird to be on my list to some but she understands our plan together. Jen has this peaceful feeling about her that I know all of you have felt when around her. She is just so easy to be around.

the list could go on and on how she is an amazing baker and cooker, she has a beautiful singing voice (at times she sings Mason to sleep and you would think oh I am sure if anyone sings he will go to sleep, but not when I sing to him, just Mommy), she is an awesome dancer, she has a beautiful smile that make her eyes sparkle....again i could go forever but I just want her to know that I love her. And I know that Mason loves her just as much.

Thanks babe for choosing me!
