Happy Birthday to My Hubby (yesterday)

Yesterday was Robby's birthday...28!!! We had such a great time, we invited some of the family over for dinner and opened presents. First I want to say a BIG thank you to Robby's mom for cooking the lasagna, it was GREAT!! Robby has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what it was that I got him. Well he finally got to open it yesterday. Me and the kids got him a gas grill and a gas smoker, and yes I worked to get the money, so that it wouldn't be like he bought his own birthday present, considering I am a stay at home mom for now!! Well anyways he loved it. My dad, step-mom and step brother and sis got him grill utensils to use!! My mom, Erin, Jimmy and Caleb wasn't able to come because Caleb had a game last night...but we are all going to get together when Stentsen gets home...YEAH!!!!!!!! I so can't wait, I've been missing my bro-in-law.

Well I want to say Happy Birthday to my very best friend in the whole world!! I love you very, very much and I hope you have many, many more to come!!!!!!

And in case you are wondering, for some reason we didn't get a picture of the smoker!!! So typical of me... I'm so thankful that Robby had such a wonderful birthday!!!

A Few Days With Caitlyn!!

It has been a wonderful past few days, I've had the opportunity to babysit Caitlyn for Daniel and Gina, and let me just say she is so sweet and adorable. I thought going into it that it would be hard, not at all because she is a hard baby to watch, but just because I have two other kids to keep an eye on as well. It has been nothing but a joy, Braigen is my big helper, she wants to do everything for her. And Brody couldn't care less until she starts crying, and them he wants to know what I did to upset her.
She is one of the best babies I've ever kept, she only gets fussy when she is sleepy and even then she is such a joy to be with. I'm going to miss getting to spend time with her when she goes back to her other baby sitter, but I look forward to the next time I get to keep her. Let me just tell you Daniel and Gina have done an excellent job with her. I want to say a big thank you to them both for allowing me to watch her.
I'm now gonna share a few pictures with you...

Happy Mothers Day to Me!!

I just want to start by saying Happy mothers Day to everyone...I know I'm one day late!! I had a wonderful Mothers day, thanks to all of my family.
Saturday my family took all of the mothers out to eat at Jim-n-Nicks in Gardendale...so good. My Mom bought my dinner, and also gave me a gift card to Peebles...wow, thanks mom!! Sunday was great, I have the best kids (and Hubby) ever!! ALL day long Braigen and Brody were telling me Happy Mothers Day, We love you!! Braigen and Brody also went outside and picked me some very beautiful flowers...

After we ate lunch at Robby's moms house, she gave the mothers beautiful bracelets, we all loved them...I couldn't get a good pic of it though!!! After lunch my hubby let me go down stairs and take a nap, or do what ever I wanted while he had the kids...WOW, it was great. When I woke up Robby and the kids took me out to eat Mexican, we had so much fun, the kids were loving the music playing in the background, Braigen kept saying "Daddy took us to Mexico Mommy!"
Well I just thought I would share with all of you my wonderful weekend....but on a more serious note, I would like to ask all of you to remember two people in your prayers...my niece Taylor, and my dad. Taylor is having surgery on her spine today (Monday), and bless her heart she will have to lay flat for 3 days, and any of you who has kids knows once they've learned to sit up it's just about impossible to get them to lay down for long periods of time!!
My dad will be having surgery on his heart Tuesday. He already had stints put in once before and now they are going back in to put some more in....So if you could please remember Taylor and her mommy and daddy as well and my dad I would GREATLY appreciate it. I love you all, and I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
