We like fixin' things and holding Mama's hand

So I love it when Jay sends me a picture or a video of what him and his buckaroo are up to on his days off. They always make me smile and even though it makes me miss them even more, I love the pics!

"Good Morning Mom"






Look at my boys!





When I see them; it reminds me of that song by Rodney Atkins "Watching you".....(lyrics below)

Drivin through town just my boy and me
With a 'Happy Meal' in his booster seat
Knowin that he couldn't have the toy til his nuggets were gone

A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit in my brakes and mumbled under my breath
His fries went a flyin? and his orange drink covered his lap

Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word
It started with 'S' and I was concerned
So I said, Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that??

He said, I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are?

"We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad
I want to do everything you do
So I've been watching you"

We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said, Lord, please help me help my stupid self

Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin on my son's Scooby-doo night light
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
Spoke to God like he was talkin to a friend
And I said, Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that??

He said, "I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are"

"We like fixin things and holding mama's hand
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad?
I want to do everything you do
So I've been watching you"

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said, My little bear is growin up
And he said, But when I'm big
I'll still know what to do
Cause I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are"

"By then I'll be strong as superman
We'll be just alike, hey, won't we dad?
When I can do everything you do
'Cause I've been watching you"

When I hear it and think of my son I get a little teary-eyed...I'm not going to lie! :)

And I appreciate BOTH of them coming out to change my BUSTED tire at 8am today when I was 5 minutes away from my work!.....






They will always be my hereos!! ;)
