Lately I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for my family. Not only am I so grateful for Rob's family and my family, but for our little family. It's amazing how adding Kurt to the crew has made me really think of the 4 of us as a "family." Life is busy these days...which is funny because most days I don't leave the house. The hours fly by as I go from feeding Kurt to fixing food for Clark, back to putting Kurt down for a nap to coloring with Clark, cleaning, putting away laundry, etc. There really isn't any job out there that is more fulfilling than the one of being a mother. I love my boys so much and am so grateful for a wonderful husband that works so hard in order for me to be a stay at home mom. Rob is the absolute best husband and father!!! I couldn't have picked a better person to marry! No the pictures were not staged. Every Saturday and Sunday morning, Clark rushes into our room, first thing, and jumps on the bed to get Rob up to play. They make HUGE messes with every blanket and pillow in the house, but I guess I can handle the mess for the sake of their enjoyment. Rob is the biggest kid and loves to play. Clarks amazing imagination is a result of the make believe play Rob comes up with. Anytime we are at a family gathering with Rob's fam or mine, I am usually left to visit with the adults while Rob runs around playing with the kids outside. Yes even in 100+ weather, Rob will jump in a jump house outside with the kids. I have already accepted the fact that I am going to be the less fun parent, but how could anyone compete with Rob...seriously!

gosh Mel make me cry. I love your boys! I sure wish I was a nelson so I could take part in that great Utah trip. You did it all in a week what we have done in a year. We need to hang out at the cabin this summer. Just typing that makes me excited that we can play!
Robert is a true gem with a heart of gold. He would give a stranger the shirt off his back. The kids always have a fun time with Uncle Rob!
awww mel!!! Those pics on the bed are absolutely PRICELESS. SO CUTE! You need to blow up that one of all the boys. And I agree with you and kathleen... Ruby is a true GEM.
Precious pics!!! I'm the unfun parent too. :)
ps. LOVE the necklace you made. I'm sure you'll be getting some referals from me soon. I always get compliments when I wear your pieces! Thank you!
Melanie I feel exactly the same way. Aaron sounds a lot like Rob when it comes to parenting. I am by far the boring parent in our house. Sometimes I even have to tell myself...what would Aaron do?
