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!!! :)

FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!!!

MADISON HAD A PLAY DATE WITH JASPER TODAY! ISNT HE THE CUTEST!!! THEY ARE EXACTLY ONE MONTH APART. CARMEN AND I WENT THROUGH OUR PREGNANCIES TOGETHER AND NOW OUR KIDS HAVE THE CHANCE TO GROW UP TOGETHER!!! HE IS A DOLL CARMEN!!!

MADISON AND DADDY, GO HOGS GO, AND WHAT A NIGHT!!!

HERE ARE THE PICTURES I PROMISED! SORRY THEY ARE LATE! THE ONES OF MADISON AND MATT ARE FROM THE NIGHT THAT HE CAME HOME FROM HIS TRIP. THE ONES IN THE CHEER OUTFIT ARE FROM SATURDAY, AND THE ONE OF MADISON ASLEEP IS FROM SUNDAY. WE WENT TO A COOK OUT AT MATTS UNCLES DAVIDS AND MADISON HAD THE BEST TIME! SHE RAN WITH THE BIG KIDS! SHE TRIED HER HARDEST TO KEEP UP AND I MUST SAY, SHE DID A VERY GOOD JOB!

P.S. HEY NICKI!!! GLAD YOU GUYS ARE READING!!! :) CANT WAIT TO SEE YA!

Daddy is back! And so is the BITER!!!!!

Sorry so long since the last post! Matt actually came home Tuesday!!!! I was so happy to see him! He went with me to pick Maddi up from school and you should have seen the smile on that baby's face! Priceless! I took some pictures of them together that night and I will try to post them this weekend. Glad your home Daddy! We missed you!!!! It should be 3-4 months before he has to go out for that long again so that is a good thing! :)

Update on the biting. So, she got bit Monday by a little girl in the class. My heart was broken. I cried, she cried. It was heart breaking. I go to pick her up Tuesday, two more bite marks. One on the opposite arm as the previous day and one on the knee. I was crushed!!!! My poor baby! Its no wonder the baby does not want to go to school! I feel really bad for the mother of the biter cause I can imagine how ashamed she is that her child is biting others (not just Maddi has been bit, two others as well). So, they split Madisons class into two groups. Madison is no longer in the same group as Ms. Biter and hopefully things will be ok from here on out. However, my sweet baby still has two big circle bruises on her arms. Poor thing! Well, Im gonna go for now. I will try really hard to post pics this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Daddy......Where are youuuuuu????

Ok. So I officially miss my husband and Madison is sooooo ready for HER Daddy to be home. He has been gone since last Wednesday and there are no hopes of him coming home before Thursday. I knew that this is one part of the job that would stink but there are still no regrets on him taking the job. He is so much happier at this job. I can handle him being gone for a while but I didnt think Madison would realize this soon that Daddy was gone. Everytime she sees a phone she gets this huge smile on her face and says "Dada". And she has been carrying around a picture of him. Oh sweet baby. This weekend was really rough cause that is usually the time that the three of us get together but he was not here. Its hard trying to keep up with everything on your own! Gives me a whole new respect for single moms! On top of that, Madisons allergies are horrible and she is teething. And, are you ready for this? Hold your breath......................SHE GOT BIT AT SCHOOL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has the markings of a mouth full of teeth outlined with a bruise above her right elbow. As if I didnt feel guilty enough taking her to a daycare, then this happens? Well, all the bloggers reading this, if you have any tips on how to make things easier for Maddi with Matt being gone or any advice on the childcare/biting issue, please feel the need to comment. And Honey, if you read this, HURRY UP!!!!! WE MISS YOU!!!
