play day and Mothers Day





The top pictures are some of the few I have of the girls sitting together being still.

The ones with the hats crack me up. Abbie is such alittle lady in the one if you click on it it will make it bigger and you can see she is blowing sticking her tongue out. Neither one of them like hats. Mattie's face is priceless Dan was making faces at her and acting silly. I think Abbie is looking at Dan like "My daddy has lost it"
ha ha ha !! Good day for everyone.

daddy

HA ha ha ha !!! I caught dad playing with the camera!! Taking pictures of himself. He thought I deleted this picture. SURPRISE !!! You can see where Mattie gets her beautiful eyes from. I love him.

Grandpa came to see us!!


Grandpa brought daddy home and got to come and see us. We were alittle distant at first but once we got use to grandpa we thought he was funny. Grandpa looks rough and tough in these pictures but he is just an ole teddy bear. We are going to see grandpa and grandma this summer and dad says we are going to stay with Aunt Melissa while Mommie and Daddy go do big people stuff. We dont care because we heard daddy tell mommie that Aunt Melissa will spoil us and he told mommie that grandma was going to take us to get ice cream. We heard him say it all.

Lindsey's Prom





Here she is my beautiful oldest daughter. This was her junior prom. She texted me the other day to tell me she was officially a senior. That was one text I could have done without. I cant believe she is a senior. It seems like yesterday she was Mattie and Abbie's age. She has turned out to be such a good girl. She has kept her grades up even though she is a social butterfly. She has so much ahead of her I hope she keeps making good choices and follows her dreams.

She had the most beautiful dress. Its funny because her dress has the Tennesse state flower on it.(that was brought to my attention by one Mike Green at work) The IRIS.

She is coming in one week and I cant wait to give her a big hug and kiss. She has already made plans with Dan they are spending a day together. That makes me feel good, I wasn't sure if Lindsey would ever accept Dan but now I think she likes him better than me. ha ha ha!!!

I wish the bottom picture would have came out better that is her and her best friend Meagan. I dont really know her friends in Texas only by pictures and occasionally if they are with her when I call they will say hi.

3 Favorite Places

OK my good friend Mindy tagged me and now I have to tell you my 3 most favorite places to be.
I have to agree with Mindy. As long as Dan is there with me every where I go is my favorite. But I will tell you my most favorite.

1) My most favorite place to be is home with Dan and the kids. (All 4) I love being at home and just relaxing (not that I get much of that with the girls). It is so peaceful at our house no traffic and what little we have, our house sits so far off the road you dont really hear anything.

2) I would have to say Indianapolis. When Dan and I first met we went along time without getting to see each other again. We talked all the time on the phone and we just couldn't get back together, so we decided to meet each other half way so.... you guessed it Indianapolis is where we met up again. When I first saw Dan I remember my heart was beating so fast I couldn't wait to see him. When we did see each other again it was like we had never been apart. We talked for hours. We drove all over the city looking at things and we ate really well. (ha ha ha) So that would have to be #2 for me.

3) This may sound silly but my 3rd favorite place to be is at a ball park. I love to watch and I love to play. Nothing like a ballpark hot-dog (sorry Mindy I know how you hate hot-dogs)ha ha!!
I love the sound of the people cheering and the sound of a ball hitting a bat. May sound crazy!! I hope the girls play because I miss going and watching Lindsey and Brady playing !! I really miss playing !!

I really have a forth one - And that is with my huge family at Christmas time. My dad is like a big kid. He is more excited than the kids when it comes time to hand out presents. Most of the time daddy cant wait and ends up telling everyone what they got because he gets so excited. I think I got that from him. That is why I am a last minute shopper - if I get it to early I will go ahead and give it or I end up telling. I am so much like my daddy it scares me.

Well that is it for me !!

First Trip to see Dr.Brady



The two pictures of the girls in their dresses was of their first check up to see Dr. Brady. Abbie wanted nothing to do with her hat. She fussed so bad. So no pictures of her with her hat.

They use to sleep together until they got too big to sleep in their pack-n-play, then it was time to move them to their beds and I decided it was time they learned to sleep alone. That didn't go so well for about the first 2 weeks. Dad kept wanting me to put them back together but I told him they had to learn to sleep alone. Abbie liked having her space Mattie didnt like being alone at all!!! Now Mattie sleeps soooo good. They both are all over the bed. Abbie is a good bed partner, Mattie is not!!! We took them to Ohio to see their Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Melissa, Aunt Cheri, Aunt Kim, Their great grandma, Uncle Fonz, Great Grandpa, all their cousins. And we had to let one sleep in the pack-n-play and one with us. Abbie did great with us but Mattie kept us up all night. Dan said never again will she sleep with us. So we went to Walmart and bought a bouncee seat for Mattie to sleep in but that didnt really work to well either. Next trip up to Ohio we are gonna ship them to Great Grandma's house and let Uncle Fonz take care of them. ha ha ha !!!

Slim Shady Brady


This is Brady being funny. He said "Mom I'm a gangster". He is so full of life and he is such a funny person. He reminds me alot of my brother when he was his age. I am so proud of Brady he has come so far. After going through his father and I's divorce and then having his dad move so far away he has taken it pretty good. I know he has his days and he gets angry but he is such a good boy. He could have gone another way but he has stayed on the right path. He was alittle stand offish of Dan at first, I guess he thought Dan was trying to take his dads place. But Dan talked to him and told him that he had a dad and that would never change. Dan did tell him that he would always be there for him if he needed him but that he wasnt trying to take his dads place. Ever since then they have gotten along good. They argue and pick at one another but it has been good. The hardest thing for me was Dan telling Brady what to do. I know now that Dan is only trying to make him be a good person and be responsible but at first it was hard because I thought he was being too hard on Brady. After talking to friends (Mike) who have went through the same thing but on the other end I realized that I was doing way to much for Brady and not making him do enough for himself. I want him to be a good man and be responsible so I had to do the tough love thing and let him know that I was still the boss. That was hard but we made it through. Anyway just alittle about my one and only son !!

more bath time !!


Here are a couple more bath pictures. They are so funny in the bath !! Dont you just love the hair?

bath time



These pictures crack me up !! Abbie is such a ham and Mattie is so funny. They love bath time and let me tell you there is not a dry area on the floor when they get done. This is one of the rare times that I let them stand up. This is always an issue with these two now that Mattie has figured out how to stand up !!!
