Simple Things Sunday #013

Jackson is becoming more and more aware
that Daddy is gone during the week for work.

So especially on the weekends, 
he does not want to leave his side. 

He does not want Mommy for much of anything, 
and I try not to let it hurt my feelings.

We have an agreement on the weekends. 
I sleep in on Saturdays while Ryan gets up with Jackson. 
Ryan sleeps in on Sundays while I get up with Jackson. 

(Seeing as Jackson gets up at 5:45 EVERYDAY
I do believe this is a pretty sweet deal.) 

This morning went like this:

Jackson do you want to get up with Mommy?
"No."
Do you want to get up with Daddy?
"Yeah."
Come with Mommy, we'll go play with trucks.
"No."
Do you want Daddy to get up and play trucks with you?
"Yeah." 

I'm only half kidding about it hurting my feelings. :) 

It makes my heart burst with how much Jackson 
loves his Daddy
and just HOW much he wants to always be by his side.

I finally convinced Jackson to come hang with me this morning...
and this is how he spent part of it...

Waiting outside our bedroom door
for Daddy to get out of bed. :)

Simple Things Sunday #3

Moments from this week.
10/20/13


I'm sure I've written once or twice about what an amazing husband I have. 
He is the best of the best. 

He has THE biggest heart and ALWAYS thinks of his family first. 
He is beyond thoughtful, and always tries to make each and every little thing we do special. 

This weekend we celebrated his very first birthday as a Daddy. There is so much I wish I could of done for him, but we kept it simple. We spent Saturday taking a mini road trip up to Payson, AZ to cool off and find some fall colors (something I'm a little obsessed with).

There is not a whole lot to do in Payson, but it was spending time alone with my family, doing something we love to do (mini road trips!), that made it such a perfect day.

How did I know it was a perfect day? My husband and I talked about how perfect it was a million times today. It really is the simple things. 

Plus we found the most beautiful spot where I set up the tripod and took some of the most perfect family photos! 

Here are just a few! 




Thanks for stopping by this week, Hope everyone had a great weekend!
