The Pressue of A Post

Here it is !! One might think that we have nothing better to do. Don loves his new shower and everyone talks about how big it is, so we decided to find out just how big. We all fit comfortably,with room for a couple more and we aren't small people!! Hayden was are photographer.

If you notice Hunter's hair or lack of you will find out what he gave his mama for Valentines. He called and asked permission from a friend's house, three of them did it. I suppose lesson learned.
This particular day Hunter was running 102 fever, but he loves his sister and although he felt horrible, he gave his all to play with her. That's what good big brother's do!!!

BLESS HIS HEART!!!!!!

Maddi loves her brothers and they love her! How sweet is this picture? You can tell just how bad he feels.

By the way, she was running fever too! It wasn't until the next day that she felt horrible just like her bubba. How funny is that, she calls Hunter bubba and Hayden, Hayden. go figure.

Happy Valentine's Day

JinJin was first to bring Valentine treats, and there were plenty to follow. The girls were so excited, mostly about the tissue paper and being able to rip it out of bags. I swear we all could have saved a fortune and just put paper in bags!!! Pops and Nana came shorly after that bearing gifts for Maddi and the boys. Notice they aren't in any of my pictures, that's because they are never around. I will post tomorrow on what Hunter gave me for Valentines!!!!!!!!!!

Maddi got these in her Valentine basket form mom and dad. That girl loves her some sunglasses. I can't believe she keeps them on. She refuses to wear a diaper and is completely naked most of the day, but give the girl some shades and she won't take them off!!

The necklace she is sporting came from mimmim and papaw. Down below are more pictures of mimmim giving Maddi the rest of her goodies.

Oh how she loves!!!She gives the best hugs and kisses

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day, we sure did. I will post more on the day tomorrow and hopefully include the 2 big brothers, even if I have to ground them into staying home. I will leave you with a few of the over 200 pictures I took today of Maddi playing outside.

A tornado I like to call Maddi

Just look at her does she scream tornado or what??? This is how precious wakes up most of the time. Cute huh?? From here on out our day is nothing but a whirling tornado I call Maddi. One of her favorite things to do is go to the pantry and pick out something to eat. Today she has chosen crossiants or maybe oreo's.

It seems to be crossiants, so the oreo's will just go on the floor with the rest of the rejects Maddi has chosen not to eat.

After checking the expiration date, yep she has decided crossiants it will be.

But wait there not for her and why would they be! She never eats what she gets out of the pantry. The crossiants are for Daisey! She literally feeds Daisey all day long.

My grocery bill has doubled since Daisey has joined the table!

Who Love's Mo?

Ok, so before I get started, I just wanted to send a shout out to my sister. You see she sends me her hand-me-down clothes as she gets into a new size. Well tonight I opened a bag she sent me and well.... this was the first shirt I pulled out! Mel it's too much. I mean it, too much!!! So if you haven't heard my sis complain before, she is always crying about not being in pictures. So since she dedicated a whole blog to me, it's my turn. No, these aren't revenge. I'm still pondering over that. I mean she put the tank top on the site(brutle). How much worse could the beach pictures be? It's not like at this point I can still try to convince everyone that I'm thin!

Mel always has to try on everything. We have over the years found this to be a statergy. She has to be the last one to open a present. So she strecthes out her gifts to be sure that the last one has her name on it. Yes, she's like a 7 year old!!

I have no explanation for the next two!!!!!!

There you go Mel, you were there!

Merry Christmas?????

No I'm not confused, but when you've been on vacation for 8 months, your days just seem to run together. These are my attempt at making some christmas cards. I didn't like any that I took, wasted too much time, and well, no one got a card? Then I thought about doing a change of address card using this picture, but I guess I should use the front of my house? So tonight for your viewing pleasure, you get Christmas!!!

Ok so I know tonight was pretty lame, but I didn't want to leave everyone hanging. These pictures were easy to get to and I thought they were better than nothing. I would have to hear it from my sister if I didn't update. Speaking of Mel, I believe she is getting a folder together of all the bad photos she can find of me and believe me there are plenty. So I guess I have started a war.

Road Trip

Alright everyone can breath. We are back from the beach and back from our road trip. No this road trip did not last 8 months, just the MLK holiday. This is one of the many things I love about my husband. Friday afternoon he was sitting at the computer, turned to me and said let's take the boys to Dallas. They love Dave and Busters(big kid arcade), and who doesn't love an indoor water park! We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. Lots of fun. Tons to do. Our first stop however, was Shreveport. I get about a gizillion offers a week and this particular weekend they were offering a free shopping spree to Best Buy. They closed down the whole store and gave everyone a spending amount some alot more than others. I know what your thinking, WHAT!!!! This is their ploy to get people there to spend money at their casino. No such luck for us. We spent our Best Buy money, went to Jack Binion Steakhouse(one of Hunter's favorite) and went to bed.

Here's Maddiboo outside the steakhouse. She had no interest in eating and wanted to play out in the lobby.

After we got back to the room, this is what the boys did.

And this is what Maddi did, her new thing is trying on everyone's shoes. There are shoes everywhere at our house. She has learned to go into our closets and pick out her favorite ones and take a walk in them. She will for sure have a shoe thing as do most of us girls!

While we were there, guess who we ran into? MIMMIM. Don spotted her and papaw at Best Buy. We couldn't get her attention, so Hunter called her. The moment we got back to the hotel she came running up to play.

Yeah Mimmim, she has caught on to this game. Look Maddi refuses to take them off. Trust me don't try, she gets a little cranky.

Now we are at the lodge. I wish I would have gotten more pictures of our trip. I have a ton of Maddi just because she was with us at all times. The boys were off at the big boy slides and water basketball. We didn't see much of them until they got hungry.

Madison loved the waterpark. She played and played. After she got comfortable she let go of our hands and off she went.

Hey look Hayden made an appearence, but no Hunter!

After the waterpark we headed to Dave and Busters and spent the next 6 hours playing. We had a good time. I have since realized my boys are getting big and these little weekend trips are not as easy to take. So we will squeeze them in as often as we can. Since I didn't get any pictures of Hunter, I will share this one. Isn't he handsome? Can you guess what is missing?

NO BRACES!!!!!! He got them off tues. and is so excited to show off his pearly whites. Of course being the teenager that he is, he has already asked about getting his teeth whitened. Lord help me. I told him sure, just go out back and grab a branch off that money tree we appartently are growing.

I couldn't sign off without a picture of everyone's favorite blogger. Hey Mo, you still holding your breath???????

I have alot of catching up to do. So bear with me. I am trying to get the hang of this blogging thing again. I wasn't very good at it before, but have already learned some new things. No wide spaces in between pictures, YEAH!!!!!!
