Thank you everyone for the sweet birthday wishes, cards and phone calls today! I am so lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family!
Thank you to the sweetest man I have ever known in my life. Wow. I love you. I don't know what was more touching to me, reading his post or realizing that this is why he wouldn't let me near the computer for 3 AND A HALF hours!! I seriously can't believe he did this for me, and I can't believe how lucky I am to be married to my best friend and to be with him every single day.
Just thought I'd clear up something really quickly though for those that might be wondering....
I ONLY snore when I'm pregnant (weird) or really really tired. Mark thought it was so hilarious that one time that I woke myself up. he,hee.
Mark
My rock, my entire world. This man works so hard and sacrifices so much for our happiness. His boys love him more than anything in the world. I look forward to his beautiful face every single day. Oh, and he makes me laugh EVERY SINGLE day too.
Melanie
A lucky girl who married her best friend and had four of the most amazing children on earth. I'm trying hard each day to be better than the day before. I don't deserve this beautiful family of mine, but I'll work hard and keep pretending so they won't notice. It's worked so far, 14 years down, Eternity to go!
Joshua
Our beautiful first born. He is such a joy. His glass is ALWAYS half full. He can find happiness in the simplest of things. He is an amazing big brother, it is clear to see why he was chosen to come first. He has an absolutely unshakeable faith. He makes our home a happy place and we couldn't imagine life without him in it.
Samuel
Our beautiful second child. This little guy is more Man than boy. He is extremely intelligent, it's hard to remember that he's not the same age as his big brother. He is so inquisitive and curious about everything around him. He is an incredible reader, he just soaks up knowledge anywhere he can. He is such a delight, we are truly so thankful for his sweet spirit in our home.
Gabriel
Our third son. The one I "hoped" would be a girl, then prayed that he'd "at least have brown eyes". Born a month early with more hair than a typical two year old, he arrived on his terms and has been a joy to behold ever since. He currently serves as our daily comic relief, with his quick wit and absolute charm. This boy has been a delight from the second he was born and I'm so glad he WASN'T a girl! He plays the "middle child" well, loves to torment his big brothers and protect his little one. My Brown eyed beauty. Such a blessing!
William "Will"
The littlest of the crew in size only. He absolutely considers himself to be at least the age of each of his big brothers if not older. This child came prepared to have 3 older siblings and is not afraid to show it. He has stolen the hearts of everyone in his family along with everyone he meets. He is full of spunk and charm and he is LOUD. My most challenging child some days and my greatest joy on others. A good mix of sweet and sour, he is a perfect fit in our home. He takes his role as King of the household very seriously. We love this monkey, he is so much fun!

In answer to your question about what to put on your blog list for us...what ever you want. Our real blog name is boring (Jason and Brandi's family blog) I told you it was boring! So, My Life as a Musical sounds much more intriguing! Thanks for adding me. It makes me feel cool! :)
Oh, speaking of list, have you ever thought about doing the blog roll? I love it! Then I can see who has updated without taking the time to go to their blog. LOVE IT! (Plus I like to be one of the first poeple to comment, then I can make sure I'm not repetative)
And, one last thing: About Heroes, we just started renting them from the library about 2 weeks ago. We hadn't ever watched them before that. There's not a very long wait for reserving them either. I just love the library!!!!
wow. What an amazing husband you have! So so nice. And happy birthday! Every summer I think about "our birthday party" we celebrated at your dad's house all those years ago. Remember? Anyway, I hope you had a great birthday! Oh, and I am so totally interested in the shoes you've made. How in the world do you do that?
Love you!
Ummmmmm, so I'm totally late but I do hope that you had a happy birthday! That list by Mark was amazing, as are the both of you! You're totally on my list of "couples that I want to be like if I ever decide to grow up and get married." It's a pretty exclusive list. I'm excited to read a post with a play by play of your birthday festivities! I really hope you were SPOILED! You're the greatest Mel, happy belated birthday!
That was the sweetest post. Yay for your hubby! And yay for your birthday! Happy Day! Hope it was fabulous.
Happy Birthday Mel! This is a little late because we left on the 6th for our trek and just got back a couple hours ago. That post from Mark for your birthday is so incredibly sweet! What a great hubby you have. You are an amazing person! I feel so lucky to have you as a friend! I just so wish we could see each other more often!
You've got good taste in husbands--and I know you TOTALLY deserve him. Kiss all your boys for me (since I don't get to kiss boys very often!)...
Happy Birthday!-Belated! That is so sweet of Mark-holy cow! That is a lot of work that he did doing that!
