I is also for I CRACK MYSELF UP :)

sooooooo, sweet sweet blog post regarding carson and how much he respects & loves his dad. love, love. kiss, kiss. now, let's laugh, shall we? :)


i decided that since we couldn't BE there with bobby for his ocean-side birthday dinner with nanny, aunt melba and aunt t tonight that we should have our OWN birthday celebration here.

and you CAN'T have a birthday celebration without PRESENTS to open, right?


earlier in the day, i booked bobby's ticket to fly back and see us the end of march. i didn't tell the kids...and earlier in the WEEK, i met my sister at borders and happened to notice that all the calendars were $1.00 each.


so i ran up to the bookstore today...and picked out a calendar for each of the kids...i opened them up and marked each day from now til dad arrives...43 days and counting down as of today.


i wrapped up the calendars & let them all open a gift...and then they had to look through to figure out the surprise. clone wars for hud, tron for carson, dogs for jo & airplanes for austin...

carson noticed first with a huge YES!!!!!!!!

followed by tears. because it's not soon enough. :( :( :( :( :(

but hey, i promised you a giggle...so wipe that tear from your eye and check out the calendar for me.

hee hee hee.

43 more days til MY cowboy is back in TEXAS. :)


love you dear. really, i do. LOL.


and JUST SO YOU DON'T WORRY, carson is okay. birthday brownies work wonders for a sad heart.

p.s. here's a birthday picture that hudson drew you after school today. it's you two running toward each other. he didn't know yet that you were coming home :)


looooooove you. xoxo.
