One in a million

jay_bike
He is motorcycles and off-road race cars.

Hunting and fishing, mud boots and farts.

Beer and hot wings and nachos with peppers.

Tattoos and snoring and clothes left on the bathroom floor.


jay_car


He is part handy-man, part auto mechanic.

Homeowner and landlord, bar-be-quer of all meats.

Cooker of breakfast, champion of the Living Room Floor Wrestling Federation.

Maker of lunches, delivery man to preschool.


jay_fish


He is teacher of the alphabet, Potty Trainer Extraordinaire.

"Just one more hug, Dad!" and "Daddy's the MAN, I'm the little man, and Mommy's the Queen!"

Not an in-law but an "out-law", laughing -- always laughing.

Charismatic and friend to hundreds.

Opening a naughty toy


His birthday parties are always HUGE and well attended.

Phone calls at shift change to see how my night went.

Surprise baths for the boys so Momma doesn't have to.

Laundry done, dishes washed, "I thought we'd see a movie."

Jayson & Will, Graduation Day


He's kind and he's gentle - often to a fault.

"You'd leave me bleeding on a street corner to help an old lady."

Big and barrel-chested, tall, dark and handsome.

Hands that are rough yet gentle.

33daddymultitasking


He's supportive, and sturdy, and there when you need him.

Level-headed, smart, responsible.

I'm mad and I yell - quietly he soaks it in, says nothing.

Smart man.

He's the kind of man a person could live with happily -- for a lifetime or two.

love daddy

Aw, you kind of choked me up a little. What a great guy you found, and how lucky for him to have someone like you who will take the time to stop and appreciate him in such a beautiful way, pictures and all. That's awesome.

I really like the way you did this post. And the words are great too...

Can I find it funny that you put "farts" and then what he eats to get them after? ; ) Sorry, I grew up around boys & have boys so it's always around!

Happy V-day to you & your man!
