Well, today we're talking about love and tattoos. They go hand in hand, don't they?! Well, February hosts two very important holidays, Valentine's Day and Daddy's Birthday. For those who don't know me, I tend to be a bit of an overachiever in just about every aspect of my life. I suspect I am in some trouble in terms of Justin and future children. I'm totally that mom who probably annoys other moms with my never store bought baked goods, personalized goody bags and outrageous birthday parties. If that's the case, I'm sorry! Well, for Valentine's Day Justin and I decided (well, more like me haha) we would make everyone goodie bags and special valentines....and cupcakes. Grammy Hawes happened to be visiting that weekend so I put them to work stuffing treat bags. Thanks Grammy! As you can see, Justin had to sample each item before deeming it bag-worthy. :)
It's almost been a year since our little angel Ben went to be with God and Steven really wanted to do something to keep his memory alive and remember him on this special day. Steven's been playing around and designing a tattoo for Ben for sometime and decided it would be a beautiful tribute if we made a family trip to our tattoo artist and get his tattoo. Ok, don't laugh, but the place we go is very family friendly. Justin hung out with the owner's son and watched Scooby Doo while daddy got all inked up. It was pretty emotional especially when I noticed Steven was holding Ben's ultraound picture.....Well, the end result was beautiful and I can talk about how great it is, but you can see it for yourself!
