Happy 7th Birthday Ariane!!

I’m not much of a blogger, but I figured I would give it a shot to say Happy Birthday to my hottie wife. So here’s to you Clayton’s mom…CLAYTON’S MOM!

Ariane loves this picture of herself :)

Alright, where do I start? I’ll start with what an amazing person she is. She has to be amazing to put up with my shenanigans. Everyone who knows me well is saying to themselves right now, “Mmmm-hmmm, you know that’s right.” When I am being Toolie Toolerson she just rolls her eyes, laughs, and loves me anyway. She is my support, my rock, and the person on whom I lay everything. I couldn’t be successful in school without her love and her constant reassurance. She is my best friend, and I cannot wait to annoy, pester, love, and cherish her for eternity.

Let’s not stop there though. As if putting up with me isn’t enough, she also has to put up with two of my spawn. She is the best mom to those little boys, and they love her the most. Dad is the fun one that they get to play with every now and then, but when it comes down to who is ahead in the polls it is Mommy all the time. They have the best time together. Everyday she has some story of how Clayton cracked her up, or how Noah was so sweet. I’m jealous of the time she gets to spend with them.
She is lord and master of this house I’ll tell you that. She has a million things to do all the time and gets most of them done (she’s really working hard on the laundry thing). She makes the food, she cleans the house, she runs around town for me, and still has time to teach Clayton to “shake his booty.”

She is my hero. A heartfelt Happy 28th Birthday to you Ariane. I hope you have a wonderful day sans children (the best gift I could think of).

Love the man puttin’ the Sizzle on this Pizzle,
J-dizzle

Ariane, I found your blog just recently through Katie and Ryan's. So I've kind of been lurking a little lately. :) Funny, but I totally thought of you today and thought wow she's finally 7 years old! What a cute birthday to have. Anyway, good to see that things are going so well for you. Happy Birthday!
