Things to be grateful for...

Today I was just thinking about how I need to express what I am thankful for. I am so very grateful for my wife Melissa. She is such a sweetheart and she take really good care of me. I can't express how much I am thankful for her. I hope she know that I really love her with all my heart. My son, Jackson, would be another thing to be grateful for. He is a lot of work and sometimes he can be fussy, but he just looks so innocent. How can you resist him?I am thankful for Jackson because he has made me a stronger man, just within the 2 and a half weeks he has been in my life. I am grateful for me family. My dad has always been my hero and he will always be. I look to him on how to be a great dad. My mom I have to be grateful for because she puts up with all of my teasing. She is such a strong woman and she is an example to me of what moms should be. My brother and sisters have always been there for me. I can't remember how many times we have hung out together and still doesn't get old. I am so very thankful for their friendship and love.

Here is a list of other thing that I am grateful for but just want to mention.
Health
Shelter
The Church
Jesus Christ
God
Book of Mormon
Temples
Forgiveness
Family
Laughter
Food

There is a million more things that I could be thankful for but I better leave it at that.

The start of something great.

This is the start of my blog. I am doing this for two folds. First I am proud to announce to the world that I am a Dad. This is going to be a good way for everyone to see him. The second reason for doing this is to have some sort of journal.




I HAVE A SON!!!!
Jackson Byron Smith
Born-June 22,2007
It came so fast. Wow! To think that this Jokester is a dad. I still like to think that I am kid. I am so happy that I have a son. There something about having a boy and being a dad. It is kindof like a right of passage. I have been thinking many nights (I have been up because of Jackson) about the exciting thing that I am going to do with him. I can't wait to play sport with him. I wonder what he will like. I wonder what kind of cartoons will he liked. I want him to be better than I was growing up. I don't want him to get asthma or anything like that so he can play and not worry about breathing.

Today Jackson had his first bath. We thought that he was going to be fussy, but he really enjoyed it. It was one of those surreal moments to see Melissa give Jackson a bath. He is such a cute naked baby.

Being a dad has also helps me relieves how important it is for me to take Melissa to the temple. Before he came, church was important but not as important as it is now. The sunday after Jackson came home, I went to two hours of church. This was the most church in a long time. I have to keep this up.

Hopefully through this blogging process, I will be able to write better and have some more interesting subjects.
