Madi's school friend Burt comes for a visit...

Madi's preschool has a cute Teddy bear named Burt that goes from house to house each week to hang with the students family. Well last week Burt got to come hang at our house. He got lots of snuggle time with Madi, play doh and coloring time, and even got to enjoy a light saber fight with Joey and Madi (isn't he lucky!) Madi really enjoyed having a new friend here and she was very sad to see him go. but we got to journal about all of the fun memories they made together and then she got to share them with the class.

The Force is strong in our house!!

I couldn't resist putting these pictures up...it cracks me up and makes Terry very proud!

Ten years...and still going strong(:

I have to say that this was probably the best anniversary celebration so far. We are very blessed to have such amazing friends who made this beautiful anniversary possible. A few of the couples from our small group volunteered to take on an extra kiddo so that Terry and I could have a whole night ALONE at home! Emily got to go play at Grace and Anna's house, Madi went to Eden and Alex's house, and Joey spent the night with Bekah and Kate. They all had a blast with their friends. Thank you Steph and Shaun, Rachel and Mike, and Lisa and Justin for making this possible!!

The evening started out for me with beautiful flowers, a bottle of yummy wine and an amazingly sweet card.



Terry and I went to an AWESOME japanese haibaichi restaurante. It was fun and yummy and so stinkin' cool not to have to worry about hurrying home for the sitter.





After our amazing meal and free chopsticks(: we went to see Mall Cop. It was very funny. We haven't gone to a movie in long time so it was a very nice treat. It was also very cool to come home and the house still be picked up(:

We slept in the next morning until 9:30 and then went and grabbed some breakfast at the infamous Waffle House(: It was awesome! By this time, we were definitely missing our babies so it was time to bring them home!!

I am very thankful for the last 10 years and i can't wait to see what God does in the next 10!! I love you Ter bear and I wouldn't want to walk through this life with anyone but you Bay!

Blast from the past...Holy Cow!

Today an old highschool friend of my posted a picture from my senior year of highschool. Wow! Crazy! It was my senior prom...and it was terrible! Pretty dress, bad guy...eh, what are you gonna do!!

Madi's slumber party idea!

For some reason I have really been missing my dad lately. I never really know what triggers different feelings. Emily walked up to me holding a picture of my dad holding and talking to Joey. Joey was only a week old at the time. Madi and Joey both know about grandpa Gregg of course, but Emily is just kindof learning about him. She asked, "who's that". So I told her Grandpa Gregg and then started crying.

Anyway, later that same day we were all eating dinner and out of the blue Madi asked me where my Daddy was. I told her that he was in heaven with Jesus. She got a sad face and said she really missed him. Then she said, "When he gets undead can he spend the night with me?" I smiled and said, "Baby when we are in Heaven we can have a slumber every single night." She got the biggest smile on her face and started yelling YAY! It was adorable and I know made my Daddy smile!

I miss you Daddy...

Terry's 32nd birthday...woo hoo!!

Well, my sweet husband is 32 now. He definitely knew how loved he was when we finished with him(: He got a nice new watch that he is still trying to learn how to read time on...ha ha! His birthday was on a Tuesday so me, Madi, and Emi went and got him breakfast and balloons and suprised him at school. I love to see the smile on his face when we show up at school. He is a sweetheart and really enjoys to show off his family!!

Madi and Emily loved being there with Daddy. Emily of course fit right in with the eighth grade class that Terry was teaching. She went and sat in with the flutes:



And helped Daddy to conduct:



Madi, on the other hand, was quite shy:



We got Daddy two balloons. One was spongebob (Emily's favorite) and the other was a "happy birthday Handsome" balloon. Terry's students called him handsome all day! ha ha! I know baby...i love you too(:

Happy birthday sweet heart! We love you!!

So it's been a month...eh!!

Yeah, I know...I'm terrible! Life has been a little too crazy to sit down and have fun posting pictures. But now that I am watching Ghosthunter and drinking Starbucks, it's all good(: So first I will just catch everyone up on the big stuff. Joey's MRI was scheduled for Monday morning at 7am. Unfortunately, I bite and overslept. We were supposed to be there at 6am, but instead got there at 7am. We have to reschedule! Ugh!!

Madi had her second dentist appointment and did awesome! She was very brave and her teeth are beautiful. Emily had a blast running all around the dentist office...and I was pooped by 8:30am!

Emily had her urology appointment and was a very brave girl. She will stay on antibiotics for the bladder reflux for another year and then we will do the test again to see if she has outgrown this. I am also going to have her tested to see if she is mineral difficient since she is still very much enjoying non food items to eat(: I would have to say her favorite is probably a tie between dirt and rocks...

Now on to the fun blogs(:
