MADISON AT THE FAIR!!!!

LET ME JUST SAY THAT NOW THAT I AM A MOMMY, I LOOK AT THE FAIR IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT!! I REMEMBER IN HIGH SCHOOL, I LOOKED FORWARD TO THE FAIR ALL YEAR LONG!! HOW ROMANTIC IT WAS TO RIDE THE ZIPPER WITH MATT AND HIM HOLD MY HAND AS I WAS SCREAMING TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!! :) NINE YEARS AND A BABY LATER, THE FAIR LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO ME!! NOW I AM LOOKING FOR GAMES WHERE WE CAN PICK THE DUCKY OUT OF WATER. LET ME JUST SAY THAT IS THE ONLY GAME THEY HAVE AT THE FAIR FOR LITTLE ONES!!!! I KNOW MADISON IS JUST A YEAR AND A HALF OLD, BUT COME ON. THERE SHOULD DEFINATELY BE MORE FOR THE LITTLE ONES TO DO. AFTER PICKING FOUR DUCKS AND DADDY THROWING A MILLION BASEBALLS, WE CAME HOME WITH TWO MOO COWS, A PINK ELEPHANT, A BIG PURPLE BALL, AND A PINK FOOTBALL. AND $80 BROKER THAN WE WERE WHEN WE WENT IN!!!!! :)

KNOCK KNOCK.....WHOS THERE????

OK, SO I RECENTLY SET UP THE LIVE TRAFFIC FEED ON MY BLOG AND I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES THAT ARE STUMBLING ONTO MY SITE!!!! I EVEN HAD ONE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM!!!! :) AND I HAVE HAD ALMOST 150 VISITORS IN LESS THAN A WEEK!

ONE OF THE BLOGS THAT I STALK, WWW.THEPOEFAM.BLOGSPOT.COM, HAD THE IDEA TO HAVE EVERYONE "CONFESS" WHERE THEY WERE FROM AND THIS WOULD BE PART OF BABY QUINN'S GUEST BOOK. WHAT A CUTE IDEA! SO HERE IT GOES....... WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM??????

Congrats Michael and Mary Kate!!!

Do you guys remember Michael and Mary Kate that I told you about a few months ago? They had a few road blocks in getting pregnant and were finally successful with IVF. She found out a few months ago that she is having twins and found out today that it is a BOY AND A GIRL!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited for this couple. I cant imagine the joy they must be feeling and I know they probably are walking around with a HUGE grin on their face!! :) I cant imagine getting a boy and a girl at the same time!!!! What a joy! Check out her blog!

Mary Kate- I want to wish you the ABSOLUTE best for the remainder of the pregnancy and all that is to follow. A child is truly a gift from God. I thank my lucky stars every day for my Little Madison. I know I have said it before but she has taught me so much more than I think that I could ever teach her. Being a Mommy makes you realize that it is the little things in life that matter. Its not wanting the newest SUV, it is how excited she gets when something finally makes sense to her. Its not having the biggest house in the neighbor hood. Its when Daddy has been gone for a week for work and when she sees him for the first time! The smile is heart melting! Its not having the latest Coach purse, its how when I lay her down in the bed at night, she smiles and touches her nose because she knows Mommy kisses her nose and says "Mommy Loves You" before turning out the light. Im crying as a write this because there is just no words to describe it. No one can prepare you. I cant wait to hear about the rest of the pregnancy and am anxiously awaiting names for these little ones!!! :)
