Super Dad!!!
Today is Father's Day which got me thinking about all the dad's in my life... But mostly about my husband. He is a great dad. Even if I'm mad at Jeremiah and I just want to punch him or not talk to him or whatever - I can't deny that he's a good dad to our kids. They love him.
When DarTanion was a baby, he would sleep in bed with us. If he would wake up before Jeremiah, he would start crawling on top of him and hitting him in the face. Trying to start a play fight. It would work. I would wake up to my (at the time) two favorite guys laughing and giggling and Tanion being tickled. It was awesome.
When Archer was little, he was able to stay home with Jeremiah for 9 months (he was an "at-home dad" during the day while I worked). During that time, Jeremiah could do no wrong. If I even raised my voice, Archer came to his dad's defense. No one was going to get mad at his dad while he was around.
Robyn doesn't really like guys that aren't little boys. BUT, she LOVES Jeremiah. He comes home and she starts jumping up and down in my arms or her high chair or where ever she happens to be. She just wants him to pick her up. She's sort of learning to kiss, but she only kisses Jeremiah or me. :) It's great.
These days, Jeremiah is gone from before daylight to dark. He's working two jobs so that I can stay home with the kids. He has Wednesday NIGHTS off and he lets me get out of the house and go see my girlfriends so that I "get a break from the kids". Jeremiah LOVES when the kids want to learn things. He teaches the kids responsibility, to do their best, how to not take life so seriously, that it's important to spend time as a family, and how to be yourself. :)

Jeremiah is working SO hard so that we can have enough money for our family and for my new scrapbooking type habits. He's gone without a reward for him (like the gun that he really, really wants) so that we could buy the kids a fish tank or fix up the house or let me go to Tooele to see my Mandy. He's awesome. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about the guy or even come close to describing how much I love him. (Wow... That sounds mushy and that's not me!) But I do. A week or so ago I had a blog of a list of guys who I just seem to lust after, but when it all comes down to it at the end of the day, I wouldn't change my life. I have a wonderful husband who is also a fantastic daddy to his kids.
