Birthdays came around faster than I had wanted. But, I celebrated with a smile on my face for my kids. Although, I have to admit, I could've managed a better looking smile.
Brig aged up to be a carbon copy of Toot'n, his father. I JUST WANT A GOOD COMBINATION OF TRAITS! I'm sick of the kids all looking exactly like their dads! Can't one look like me? Just one?
Okay, Shara looks a lot like me, minus the eye color and hair color. But I want just ONE of my children to look EXACTLY like me. Okay, okay, I'll stop whining. Shara is very dramatic and it brings something new into the house.
Piper doesn't look ANYTHING like Shara now that they're teens. She's still beautiful, of course.
Mason didn't want to wear all red like he did as a toddler, but he still stood out regardless.
Derek liked to slick his hair back in the weirdest style. Now, I
could tell him to
not, but if it makes him happy I guess, *cringe* it makes me happy too... kinda.
Jackson didn't get his father's Christmas hair, which disappointed me, but I love him regardless.
After realizing that I'm not pregnant and I have nothing going on in my life, I called up Jack Moore to get this dang modeling thing done. I had enough (usually) going on in my life without it.
While I did this, Shara taught Jackson his skills.
First, Jack had me dress up in a casual dress and play the piano.
Then he had me dress up in a
really fancy dress to play the bass.
Then he made me dress up in a ridiculous hairstyle and outfit so I could play the drums.
While he just stood there looking pretty with those hazel eyes!
He had me dress up in whatever I wanted to for the guitar picture because he knows that the guitar means the most to me.
He even let me keep the guitar he brought!
I played the guitar long after he finished taking pictures, and he even danced along!
After we got done, he decided to take me out for dessert. We just sat there, looking into each other's eyes. Yes, I'm cheesy.
Cassie ran by, mouthing "I
told you!" as she did. I just rolled my eyes.
I could feel him staring at me so I dug into my food, not sure about what to say to this beautiful man.
I looked up and he was still staring at me. I closed my eyes. Dang those sweet, sweet hazel eyes of his.
I finally sucked it up and looked at him.
When I did, he quickly looked at his food and started eating. Maybe I shouldn't feel too embarrassed about being nervous?
He started to think about what to say next. It was extremely cute.
Neither of us said anything through the entire meal. It was weird. James and I dove right into conversations, we didn't just look at each other and smile. Maybe that's why it didn't work. Jack stood up and grabbed me, holding my hands in his.
I couldn't speak as he swayed my hands back and forth. It was like a miracle that I could let myself act this stupid for this long.
He stared back, not saying a word. Those hazel eyes make him seem all the more intimidating!
Slowly but surely, a smile crept onto my face. Maybe love at first sight
does exist?
A smile appeared on his face, too. This was beginning to be perfect.
Finally, he spoke. We had been at the bistro for a half hour and neither of us spoke once. "You're beautiful," he said, barely audible. I just grinned like an idiot.
He offered to drive me home. We couldn't look at each other the whole way home, but we were both smiling uncontrollably.
Eventually, he started staring at me. I couldn't make myself look at him in fear he'd stop looking at me.
When we got to my house, we went right up to my bed, no words being spoken.
His hand made it's way down from my shoulder to gently stop on my hip.
He gently pushed me down so he was above me, and I looked into those beautiful,
beautiful eyes. I secretly hoped that he was thinking, "I can't stop looking into those beautiful,
beautiful green eyes."
After looking at each other for at least a minute, he dove right in. His warm, moist lips felt so good against mine and they sent a shiver down my back. This was nothing that I felt with James. With James, it was like kissing my dad. Full of love, but more like kissing a relative. With Jack, I was
in love.
I quickly realized that I didn't actually love James. The person I truly loved was Jack. Is that wrong? I had known this man all of a week.
As he slowly pulled away, I realized that this was the man that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. He was unlike James. Compared to James, Jack actually cared about me, and I didn't feel restless in his arms; I never wanted to pull away.
My hands slid down his back and then up again as I absent mindedly massaged him.
When we were done kissing, he rested his head against mine. I could smell his cologne.
His kept kissing my head. I was in another world by this time.
I could feel him looking at me, smiling. An idiot look crept on my face. I was just glad he couldn't see it.
We just looked into each other's eyes. Again.
We just closed our eyes and snuggled to our hearts' content.
Our hands linked together, and I knew I never wanted this night to end.
I couldn't stop my joy. This was all
way too much!
I decided that he shouldn't be the only one moving things along, so I grabbed his hand and kissed it.
I slowly leaned in and planted my lips on his warm lips. His breath smelled like mint tooth paste.
We both started grinning like idiots as we looked at each other.
We just sat in silence for at least an hour, just taking all this in.
I eventually fell asleep, but I could feel him next to me.
He snuggled with me throughout the night.
So I snuggled with him. I just nuzzled my head onto his shoulder.
In the morning, he hadn't moved from his space under the covers. I couldn't help but smile as I made the bed.
He made himself at home with some waffles, but I didn't mind.
I took a nice, hot bath to really top off the amazing night.
But once I got out, I threw up. What was going on? I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and I wasn't pregnant since I hadn't tried for a baby yet.
But something was obviously upsetting my stomach, because I felt extremely sick.
I went to the basement to see Jack sitting on the lip couch. I sat down next to him. I think you know what's about to happen here...
He snuggled with me...
...and we kept looking at each other, just too happy.
He eventually leaned in and kissed me.
Every time we stopped to take a breath, we would look at each other's eyes. It was corny, but amazing.
We kissed for what seemed like hours, until a putrid smell entered my nose.
I quickly realized it was my dead fish.
I flushed him down the toilet and bought a new fish so the kids wouldn't know he was dead.
I came downstairs to see Jack playing the drums. He was actually pretty good.
Piper took a liking to the piano. She was really good for a beginner!
All of her siblings stood around and watched to support her.
Shara decided that painting was something she would want to get better at. She's really good, too!
I was soon greeted by a surprise bundle(s) of joy. I guess I
had gone farther with Jack than just kissing, but how come I don't remember doing so?
The boys played with the blocks.
And man, this basement is
constantly in use!
I got
really into playing the guitar. It was actually a little embarrassing...
The boys decided to have a gaming competition. Whoever lost their game first, well, lost!
Jack and I decided to play some video games with each other. He was really good and kept beating me.
We decided to go to the diner for breakfast since the kids were all at school.
I stroked my pregnant belly. I couldn't wait to see who was in there.
We went to the park and while I fished Jack talked to Joshua. It was kind of funny, actually...
We decided to go home and sleep once night hit. We snuggled all night long.
My stomach was getting huge and I was getting excited!
In the morning he gave me some red flowers. I
really liked this guy!
I grabbed his hands in mine, not wanting to ever let go.
He grabbed my arm and kissed me. I mean I
really like this guy!
We just stared at each other for like five minutes.
When night fell, we watched the stars together. It was amazing.
I just love the way my eyes are glowing in this picture!
He kept whispering stuff to me that should only be repeated between me and him.
To try and induce labor, I started dancing. This move had him cracking up!
See what I mean about this room always being in use?
A couple hours later when the kids were all at school, I went into labor.
Jack didn't do such a good job at controlling himself.
He wanted to drive me to the hospital, I said yes, but only if
I could drive.
I came out with the most beautiful little boy, Matthew Parker.
Hey guys! I know that you're probably thinking that Paisley is moving on quite fast from James, but if you think about what she was saying, she didn't actually love James, she just thought she did. I really want you all to love Jack! He's going to get more talkative and he's supposed to be funny, but I'm not that good at writing witty things. I hope you all enjoyed this post!
