I Love This Picture...and A Proposal


Thanks to my beautiful little photographer Kami I now have this precious picture of my son and I.
Love it!
just ignore my greasy bangs...

A Proposal:
Today Cooper asked me to marry him.
"Mommy, you ma-wee me?"
of course I said yes.
You just don't say no to a question like that.
He gave me a ring and everything.

Little boys are so hopelessly adorable. I don't know what it is about them that turns a mommy to mush, but heaven help me. Boys are such little charmers; my boys, in particular, are huge flirts. And when my boys turn on the charm I am a goner, it's over for me.
The love of a mother for a son and a son for a mother is so strange... I can't even put it into words. They are different then little girls, they tug on different heartstrings.
Despite all the messes, mayhem, and extra testosterone (meaning "rough-housing") I would gladly take as many as the Lord will send me.
while we are talking about proposals I must add this story:

While riding in the car the other day the topic turned to marriage. Kami was very concerned as to who she would marry when she got older. I told her that she would marry the boy that she loved the most in the whole entire world. After some intense thought she came to the conclusion that when she was big she was going to marry Cooper because she loved him "the most, the most."
Of course, she was troubled about who Landon would marry if she married Cooper. Until she came to the conclusion that I would just have to have another baby so that Landon could get married. Smart plan.

As you can imagine, she wasn't too pleased when Cooper asked me to marry him.
"Well who's going to marry me now?
I told her she could have daddy. As far as husbands go, they don't get better than Daddy.

  1. You are right. It is a very cute picture. But, if you wouldn't have mentioned the bangs no one ever would have noticed.

  2. OK, but I know some greeks who have a cautionary tale or two about family love getting out of hand...

    I am of course kidding. Let's just enjoy them while they still like us (and each other).

  3. I totally agree! Zane asked me to marry him and my heart melted as well. Even after a long day of messes and whining I still said yes.

    Way cute pictures!
