Beck "Paisley, aren't I your friend?"
Paisley "you are my brother friend."
Beck "what does that mean?"
Paisley "it means you are the best kind of friend."

Oh how I love this. ♥

37 weeks and counting...

Our babies love you and I love you. You are the best daddy ever. Serious, hands down, no question. Wish you could stay home with us all day every day. We love it when you are home, but know that you need to be away to take such good care of us. Stay awesome, you are great at it. Thank you for all that you do for us. You are very much appreciated!!

My Dad, Bruce Beck, being the awesome dad that he is to my twin sister and I on our first birthday 1983. Not only is he the best father to me and my 5 siblings, he is just an all around awesome guy to the many around him. I dare you to thin...k of anyone else that has brought a smile to your face more than the Mr Bruce Beck! Always full of jokes and "what's that on your shoulder?" As well as words of wisdom in a desperate time of need always ended with the encouragement that you can decide for yourself and figure it out and the best part, "this too shall pass." Nothing makes me smile more remembering that dreaded sound of his footsteps hitting that first stair to come wake me up to change water on the family farm and teach me the value of hard work, all while smiling. Well, there was that one time we all slept in and he did it alone after we said we would be there for him and he was definitely NOT smiling!!! But admit it, he's awesome. And that beard is pretty much to die for as well!!!See More

Don't ask me why I'm wearing all white and the towel behind my head looks like a veil. It was like 2am... Lol-

I've been taking a lot of people's pictures and staying up late editing them to get them to them super fast....

Here I am one day shy of 37 weeks. Only dilated to a 1.5 with false labor mixed with irregular real contractions since Monday. Let's just say that I am not a happy camper but trying to keep a smile on. Trying to keep busy and took the kids to the pool a few times this week and kept cousin Ashton over for most of the week to stay the night and play. Redoing a dollhouse I bought for $10 for Paisley and Penelope. Hoping to get it done, so it's just not another project sitting in my garage unfinished. My house is driving me insane with all the dust, I don't sleep much and Penelope has resorted to a whiny crying mess over the last month, I think she knows what's coming...

I have a ton of nieces and nephews. Like tons. For their birthday I started making scavenger hunts all those many years ago when I joined the Ashton Family clan. It's easier than remembering a present/wrapping it/ and it saves money and kids really remember it and they love it, well, at least that's what they tell me. But now that there are sometimes 5-7 birthdays a month to get together and celebrate its not so easy coming up with clues anymore. My mind freezes up and I could sit here forever just not wanting to write te clues... I better get going cause I still have 4 loads of laundry to fold and we are headed to Othello soon.
