quick post.....

i am just going to do a quick post because I havent in a while!!!! Things are going well!! Here is an update on everyone.

Madison- Still not walking!!! I think she knows that we will carry her around everywhere so why should she walk!!! :) Teeth are bothering her again this weekend, had to pick her up early at Jessicas Friday with a 103 degree fever that has stayed with us all weekend. :( She is loving going to Jessica's though! I think she misses going there on the weekends.

Matthew- Staying busy between work and golf. He has been playing golf at least two to three times a week and is really enjoying it! Still keeping fingers crossed for a first shift job opening at Baldor (although we all know it will take a long time...).

Jessica- Staying busy with work and home. I am doing an online degree for Medical Coding and Billing and just registered to go back to UAFS in the fall. I took the spring semester off to focus on the Medical Coding and Billing thing but really want to finish up my teaching degree even if Im not going to be a teacher. Who knows, I may change my mind, AGAIN!!!! Although I am constantly going 90 to nothing, I love the joys of being a wife an mother!

And last but not least......after many hours of talking, many sleepless nights (for me), and many many tears, we have decided not to get rid of Reese. We had decided to get rid of her because she doesnt really have a yard toplay in and all that good stuff. I had no idea my heart would break so bad. I was packing up her toys for the lady to come and get her and went into a full blown panic attack. Seriously. That is when I decided that she was here to stay. Madison loves her so much and the thought of her leaving kills me. Even though there are occasional pee spots in my floor. We all love this dog and she is most definately staying with the Couch Family!! :)

please honey????

if anyone talks to matt and happens to have any influence on his stubborn little heart......just let him know his wife wants this purse VERY BAD!!!!!!!!

Happy Late Fathers Day!!!

well...i didnt get to post last night because my little one was not feeling well. so i am making up for it today!

Matthew Lee- Where do I even begin. I could go on and on about the wonderful things that you do but I will spare the readers!!!! i do want to say thank you for all that you do. you are so dedicated to your family and that means the world to me. i love the smiles you smile when you look at our precious baby. i love the way you kiss my forehead every night when you leave for work. i love the way that you always find a way to make me smile no matter how mad i am at you. i love you. i love you more than you will ever know. thank you for making all my dreams come true. you have given me so much more than i could have ever wished for. you are truly amazing. i love you more.

I do Love my camera though! And don't worry Jess, I could never give you the boot! You are so amazing at what you do..... no matter what you think! I will try my hardest to get them on here tomorrow!

Well, I know you are all going to be disappointed cause there is no pictures! But I am getting a new camera tomorrow and I am very excited about it! Jessica got a new camera so I am buying her "old" one. I cant wait to give it a shot! I know that I will never be able to catch the good shots like Jess gets but hopefully I can get a few good ones!
Not to much went on this weekend. Matt went to the lake so Madison and I hung out around the house for the most part. We attempted to go to the mall Saturday to get Matt something for Fathers Day but after 30 minutes of shopping, she was done. Even though Mommy bought her a monkey that she yanked off the shelf and totally did not need! I should have known better than to take her at nap time but of well. It was an adventure. And we left the mall with nothing but the monkey. Sorry Daddy.
Well, Im gonna go try to get something done! I am off for 3 days and looking forward to it! I will try my hardest to post pics from my new camera tomorrow!

New Pics!

Well, here are the latest of Miss Madison. It is so nice having a photographer for a baby sitter!!!! Besides the fact that we get amazing pictures every day, Madison loves Jessica and her kids! Ok, she loves Mr. Joel too because he shares his ice cream with her!

I dont really have much to yak about today! Things are a little crazy around. Not too bad. Matt is just working ALOT of over time right now so we kinda see each other as we are coming and going. I wake up at 7:00 he gets home at 7:15 to help me get Maddi ready. We leave at 8:00 and he goes to bed. He gets Maddi at 4:30 and I get home at 5:30. He leaves for work at 6:00. Repeat. Its an ongoing battle!!!! I can't imagine being on third shift! Bless his heart! I am looking forward to having some time off next week. The Webb's are going to the beach so I am taking a few days off. Well, kinda. I still have to take care of their animals and water their plants but I dont mind a bit. They are WONDERFUL people. And, we are taking advantage of their swimming pool while they are gone!!!! :)

Well Im gonna go! Hope everyone is doing well! Hope you are feeling ok Mary Kate!!!

Happy Birthday Jess!!!!!

Happy Birthday Jessica! We Love You!!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!!
