I am soooo glad my dad never pushed it on me because i just don't feel it. However, Cassidy has gone to the club with him a few times and sat in the shooting houses and has learned to love it. To the utter delight of my dad she shot her first deer last weekend with the 243 he got her last Christmas (remember, it was in my blog last year!), As you can see from the picture, it is hard to see who is the most thrilled: him or her? :o)</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyePNaNLSlE2sUL7j7uPTVnBH4kZNjwzV7svDlCoWiM9AfciF2QZgmdAQ74Z2dcCzCOwhwOk4pZTvXAeYGvyWW8AYrUij-zlebYAtVZKKOA0_Bm4vE6wERRktX82e-zBusanTbGdKqX4/s1600-h/IMG_5412.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412308286280776578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyePNaNLSlE2sUL7j7uPTVnBH4kZNjwzV7svDlCoWiM9AfciF2QZgmdAQ74Z2dcCzCOwhwOk4pZTvXAeYGvyWW8AYrUij-zlebYAtVZKKOA0_Bm4vE6wERRktX82e-zBusanTbGdKqX4/s400/IMG_5412.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> <span style="color:#000099;">I think this is one reason I didn't get bit, I would DIE if someone smeared dead animal blood on me!!!</span></div><div> </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmrnRrqXyqigwBGHowRiDBWCos8jIclcoWSTzUlnYwf4al-x4SfDGWK3CNxlC9XCutZVIG3mnnp72MuTktE_Q8vyuRVuEN_0EEe-ZKnetrAnCTL4wyG5kNaTuOCznbLogDCzWAPAqcaY/s1600-h/IMG_5402.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412307963954825250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmrnRrqXyqigwBGHowRiDBWCos8jIclcoWSTzUlnYwf4al-x4SfDGWK3CNxlC9XCutZVIG3mnnp72MuTktE_Q8vyuRVuEN_0EEe-ZKnetrAnCTL4wyG5kNaTuOCznbLogDCzWAPAqcaY/s400/IMG_5402.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /> <span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;">Here she is with her trophy!</span><br /><div></div></div></div>Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-70238318960120198132009-12-06T17:35:00.001-08:002009-12-06T17:55:47.811-08:00Thanksgiving 2009<span style="color:#cc0000;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThDpSEsPNcnRuBhrc5H5BpVB2fLAxbNQnO7k9mGYXIkOciwSUa3UsM3F7Q6a14paSYYHFvtMuxo8nVzHN_38MR-pdrfByN6XX3whoaDXggdwwbHSk4FLWqP2xGEu3DsKxZS_9lmt7dvc/s1600-h/IMG_5372.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412305397216003810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThDpSEsPNcnRuBhrc5H5BpVB2fLAxbNQnO7k9mGYXIkOciwSUa3UsM3F7Q6a14paSYYHFvtMuxo8nVzHN_38MR-pdrfByN6XX3whoaDXggdwwbHSk4FLWqP2xGEu3DsKxZS_9lmt7dvc/s400/IMG_5372.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"> We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!

Madison was in her room playing and Cassidy was in her room playing her Wii. Matt had been at the ballpark till midnight the night before so I wanted to let him sleep in a little late so I asked Cassidy to come watch Bolt with Madison while I took a 15 minute shower. This was not the first time I had asked her to do this so she said sure and I didn't think anything of it. Ten minutes into my shower Cassidy came barrelling into the bathroom screaming "Madison cut her hair!!" I grabbed a towel and ran as fast as I could to her bedroom, where she was sitting on her bed crying, all her pretty curls laying in the floor. I literally screamed like a wild woman, woke Matt up who came running into the bedroom to see what was going on, and started crying hysterically. I was crying so hard, Matt thought Madison had cut a body part off. I was inconsolable. I was so upset, Madison and Cassidy got upset, which upset me more! Anyways after I calmed down, I was just thankful she didn't cut herself for one thing and then I was also happy she didn't cut the front of her hair. All in all she actually did a decent job, we didn't even have to have it shaped up. I am really going to miss those curls!</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPZCxnQzxNpKiJtiKesT0gblEaJTsBmol9lTAV1PS0_zhFZp6bXEE5pGn9JZ0vZZHq9RNCWMhlkzECdDk76Oj-XjPWqIyEL4kIJ6HhOgOF-BVLQxStsh6-YU0h0nZl0Htvf3wEbKIxpk/s1600-h/a3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355736366719219938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPZCxnQzxNpKiJtiKesT0gblEaJTsBmol9lTAV1PS0_zhFZp6bXEE5pGn9JZ0vZZHq9RNCWMhlkzECdDk76Oj-XjPWqIyEL4kIJ6HhOgOF-BVLQxStsh6-YU0h0nZl0Htvf3wEbKIxpk/s400/a3.jpg" border="0" /></a> This picture was just to show how long her hair had gotten.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4TP5lVbbzkRRznSn1KCARK7ccFojoZcMhU8Y96PyYMzMgpaY-cRiIEmrQF2OHAxm0XcE1Zz0ePWjqK3ftBfK1fCKYtrjf1UOCpgb5u3zRFg_ZCCW1Rpzyw3ZQ-gfpjJl1hbczdIB3YWk/s1600-h/aa.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355736266723773602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4TP5lVbbzkRRznSn1KCARK7ccFojoZcMhU8Y96PyYMzMgpaY-cRiIEmrQF2OHAxm0XcE1Zz0ePWjqK3ftBfK1fCKYtrjf1UOCpgb5u3zRFg_ZCCW1Rpzyw3ZQ-gfpjJl1hbczdIB3YWk/s400/aa.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is it now (FYI the can is empty.

They stayed at the lake/man made ocean up there and had a good time. The weather was pretty chilly so the water was cold, but my girls could care less how cold it is, they just want to be in it. They had fun spending their days riding their bicycles, playing with all the kids (his mom has 5 brothers and sisters who all have kids and grandkids) and spending the day at the lake.

Cassidy is playing in the darling league this year in McCalla and Matt is coaching her again. After having a rocky start (they were in last place after the first 4 games) they are making a comeback and are currently tied for 2nd! The girls played really good last night and beat the #1 team so it is getting really excited. I have been a horrible mother and this is really the only picture I have taken so far. I get so caught up in the games I forget all about taking pictures! I will do better Saturday and try to get more uploaded.</span><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;">On another note Charley Brooke is doing fabulous! I went for my 22 week check-up yesterday and everything was really good. Blood pressure was 110/80 and her heart rate was 158 bpm. They also had the results on my protein test and anything above 300 is bad and my numbers were at 170 so that was very comforting as well. I go back June 4 for the yucky glucose test so please say a prayer that I pass it so I don't have to do the full day one! I will update again soon!</span></p>Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-9878144659757303362009-04-27T14:10:00.000-07:002009-04-27T14:15:48.132-07:00Easter 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnbYholc2YFaRTG5VLwT1ON-i5NGAo9bRObCkmGmSdPu8TvdvMi9JHldoCnEjabv3zv3IfduqPk-OpM5oM3fTmQnoMr7Xf76I-wYjTJ8gWxTuXZIQtHS5bErlqaa9AMhGqSuHuQk3AVSI/s1600-h/a1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329482091999555458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnbYholc2YFaRTG5VLwT1ON-i5NGAo9bRObCkmGmSdPu8TvdvMi9JHldoCnEjabv3zv3IfduqPk-OpM5oM3fTmQnoMr7Xf76I-wYjTJ8gWxTuXZIQtHS5bErlqaa9AMhGqSuHuQk3AVSI/s400/a1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">The girls had a really good Easter this year. The Easter Bunny did not go as crazy this year as he did last year, but they were very happy with their new movies, candy, games, and dolls. Normally we split the time between Matt's parents' and mine, but my mom was sick this year, and Matt's parent's are renovating their house, so they came to our house. We ate a great Easter lunch then spent a good hour and a half hunting eggs. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDEPD8IfAovREo9GXJN_2_gUlUnXRGkG6YZvri8k0-P20p3HEpL0s8bTYb_bx5vC2v3r4jU7VfZJQbgrwTi1Z6zi8QcRE97_Frte62Pt9AX9rVXvHcjVbjUyZO1ZXcPR5r4594qhE14M/s1600-h/a9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329482035217021314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDEPD8IfAovREo9GXJN_2_gUlUnXRGkG6YZvri8k0-P20p3HEpL0s8bTYb_bx5vC2v3r4jU7VfZJQbgrwTi1Z6zi8QcRE97_Frte62Pt9AX9rVXvHcjVbjUyZO1ZXcPR5r4594qhE14M/s400/a9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUk6TynFbyIkrCEr0aBxj-8p88wLkqsTrtByRhPB83MpuWpV5I9icscKcv6x4memJRJUS9UmcCED2ilyR2noXJuMoDpeqamBUaGzhR7mWEFpJPyl-VzlPNlRw76uMK9wVwmt2iFng9esM/s1600-h/a6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329481960399951314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUk6TynFbyIkrCEr0aBxj-8p88wLkqsTrtByRhPB83MpuWpV5I9icscKcv6x4memJRJUS9UmcCED2ilyR2noXJuMoDpeqamBUaGzhR7mWEFpJPyl-VzlPNlRw76uMK9wVwmt2iFng9esM/s400/a6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvz0_PKHb6CzHj9O_qrZ4QlgTSOGF4-FrOhypfS5ZpQ_lvRDdr1s_im01Qx006oW_U0ng-ohxE9ZyyPDNjXCi-toHP3ZRS7N_jRb8hImSrPg_pVF_IMawDHG7yTQ6q7bKA5IE7uT-Ke9s/s1600-h/a11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329481877133683394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvz0_PKHb6CzHj9O_qrZ4QlgTSOGF4-FrOhypfS5ZpQ_lvRDdr1s_im01Qx006oW_U0ng-ohxE9ZyyPDNjXCi-toHP3ZRS7N_jRb8hImSrPg_pVF_IMawDHG7yTQ6q7bKA5IE7uT-Ke9s/s400/a11.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sdz8PlaVDozDFxFMQOFkvGpVBvIbf3fani3hKN0V7E230d2KdDq64hODooStbDyXQgOTf4AonwVz2BsPg_jPLaqMdZ3lUOqZ5v0o5PIfOtKje6gDDGs2Rti5dS7dq_ugJcfutHg6iLM/s1600-h/a5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329481795272034786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sdz8PlaVDozDFxFMQOFkvGpVBvIbf3fani3hKN0V7E230d2KdDq64hODooStbDyXQgOTf4AonwVz2BsPg_jPLaqMdZ3lUOqZ5v0o5PIfOtKje6gDDGs2Rti5dS7dq_ugJcfutHg6iLM/s400/a5.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div></div></div>Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-80702606563970246712009-04-27T13:39:00.000-07:002009-04-27T13:47:19.154-07:00Kristen's 6th Birthday Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1y0f5qNCW37jL5MRlpqTbGTQwsUf3xw0nSIPZ2VX-k92MtWrP3-iID_M2Ew2P8VCQkilPpa1Rt6otoJNHyZKSKByCjzCBV-WdmqMePw0OpUOdemzJFwRYMlA3J30WE36PP2DTi0iktUQ/s1600-h/a5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329474084839788050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1y0f5qNCW37jL5MRlpqTbGTQwsUf3xw0nSIPZ2VX-k92MtWrP3-iID_M2Ew2P8VCQkilPpa1Rt6otoJNHyZKSKByCjzCBV-WdmqMePw0OpUOdemzJFwRYMlA3J30WE36PP2DTi0iktUQ/s400/a5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#ff0000;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">My niece Kristen turned 6 on April 23, but between ball and everything else going on, we had to wait to celebrate till this past Sunday afternoon.

I can't believe I am going to have 3 girls! Matt was so funny, we talked about getting him a tag for his truck that says "Ladies Man." The heartbeat was really good at 148 and Dr. Heaton said my pictures of her heart, kidneys, and brain were some of the prettiest she had seen, which meant everything looks great! My blood pressure was really good again, which was fabulous. I had lost a little bit of weight due to a stomach bug we had this week so she drew some blood and has me doing a 24 hour protein test to make sure everything is okay. All in all it was a good visit and I go back again May 7. I can't believe how fast time is flying by!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#ff6666;">By the way, I knew I wanted to name the baby Charlie whether it was a boy or girl so her name is going to be Charley Brooke!</span>Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-56707039732469458732009-03-30T13:50:00.001-07:002009-03-30T13:52:49.063-07:00<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff6666;">Well my baby turned 3 years old today :o( I cannot believe it. It seems like yesterday I was in the hospital delivering her little 4 lb 10oz self. She was so healthy and developed, she never had to stay a second in the NICU, so she became a sensation at the hospital. Nurses, doctors, janitorial staff, cafeteria workers, you name it, they were stopping by my room wanting to see the 4lb cutie everybody was talking about. I'll never forget her being so small, they put a newborn shirt on her bottom and on top and made a onesie out of them! Anyway we celebrated her birthday yesterday at Fun Factory and she had so much fun! Everybody got a kick out of watching her go! Here are a few pics from the special day..... </span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpBMMjOHW0460jaW9ygLNMNtOVlf9tamTsdM0sIO_5OdHFqhdHpQbAim2VO2Gdb-BJuV38C5SysBNeN3lPT3snDslkVvDJZgt5aqqJeivAD-kVujHp5tZrUFDXWxMKiaio5j40ECkEQs/s1600-h/a7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319086274981722210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpBMMjOHW0460jaW9ygLNMNtOVlf9tamTsdM0sIO_5OdHFqhdHpQbAim2VO2Gdb-BJuV38C5SysBNeN3lPT3snDslkVvDJZgt5aqqJeivAD-kVujHp5tZrUFDXWxMKiaio5j40ECkEQs/s400/a7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj2pg0M6yMsbWNO55thl0fc6LexOipz3sLZYzjz1l01FscwkHIguBnuXGOzEcP38YUq-vuzNcd2SIP-bc5_xmKr52eOthKVWukM2RPMJSb5aNt7uVg79eZx_juGihLd8hBIY0peuA6mB0/s1600-h/a5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319086231697618610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj2pg0M6yMsbWNO55thl0fc6LexOipz3sLZYzjz1l01FscwkHIguBnuXGOzEcP38YUq-vuzNcd2SIP-bc5_xmKr52eOthKVWukM2RPMJSb5aNt7uVg79eZx_juGihLd8hBIY0peuA6mB0/s400/a5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZ8_ay3gMpewVLZ4tu3Gal1wD61y57pbncCDRjKmNpQqeleI0U7DbVkDLVxkdtkMKKqB8JQyHjngf_m6JkmJ6lU4P-gmdnoSW0h8V2D8pbYTQcrcpyj2DQ86PgA-6_N6-X-cwi76mAHw/s1600-h/a4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319086169430430642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZ8_ay3gMpewVLZ4tu3Gal1wD61y57pbncCDRjKmNpQqeleI0U7DbVkDLVxkdtkMKKqB8JQyHjngf_m6JkmJ6lU4P-gmdnoSW0h8V2D8pbYTQcrcpyj2DQ86PgA-6_N6-X-cwi76mAHw/s400/a4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8_8U46QnoT8jIuyC4uCTaLrIvwaBO_IKXko86jhueSLsepS4YoFkvlAatd9zxmDQBFrjLVKBxowFiW2dizQ3NovxiCFkdGvrcGVjBc_3rfC3adRRKqltoL8psboH-jEWRv9jxJbWQcE/s1600-h/a2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319086111473584850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8_8U46QnoT8jIuyC4uCTaLrIvwaBO_IKXko86jhueSLsepS4YoFkvlAatd9zxmDQBFrjLVKBxowFiW2dizQ3NovxiCFkdGvrcGVjBc_3rfC3adRRKqltoL8psboH-jEWRv9jxJbWQcE/s400/a2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_3wcLIx8ZSp0_f7oqGSoW-iCoRo9waRnIVl6FHiPNfI4sJUgEwEBbVHJNqIx5eZYobMQCMaunwAggw3vji8d6-hcaNPYySZ4_x_CyN91FToNjkYkR9ASp5DJKcyXZ8qE9PyrIxd2yg0/s1600-h/a3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319086066639937570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_3wcLIx8ZSp0_f7oqGSoW-iCoRo9waRnIVl6FHiPNfI4sJUgEwEBbVHJNqIx5eZYobMQCMaunwAggw3vji8d6-hcaNPYySZ4_x_CyN91FToNjkYkR9ASp5DJKcyXZ8qE9PyrIxd2yg0/s400/a3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-57297823496673971932009-03-26T08:53:00.000-07:002009-03-26T09:05:09.264-07:00Cassidy's Gymnastics<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">Cassidy is taking gymnastics at McCalla Academy of Dance down by our house.

We have spent the past two years in Orlando, but this year we decided to save that money and do stuff around here. On Thursday we went to Fun Factory on Morgan Road in Bessemer because for $5 the kids can have open play, and let me tell you, it would have been worth $50! They had so much fun, and basically had everything to themselves so I am definitely going to remember this for the future! </span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfjyRA4bX43op-QddlAkJ0qLhcXLqTW7FAe33camkSeAGdhKaNrjWQ47X6EmXyHIzk0jAu8C-2fDiiDEQ0J-KuqrIk15e9HzIhghZ55RhOoMmRwEpVnIx2I1B9cubtLbYjVlysN_vtU0/s1600-h/a5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317231630532758002" style="DISPLAY: block;

I knew it was Spring Break and I knew Tuesdays were half off day, but Lord above I had no idea everybody else had the same idea! It was a mad house! Luckily we got there early and didn't have to compete with the afternoon crowd but I sure learned my lesson!!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4Nr6orPgo9HQVBAWHC9pcG7-UF-q-UlFW14rTTDLXo8Zr2NP50pxPinVGA6OpXjvWdWEE9Isaq12w0HWOGoaqvyEOaDmceB9JAvPX-VfigIn1qeC3Ef-rkrBGTsca1HGlpG3dkOINhA/s1600-h/a5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317221116065371138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4Nr6orPgo9HQVBAWHC9pcG7-UF-q-UlFW14rTTDLXo8Zr2NP50pxPinVGA6OpXjvWdWEE9Isaq12w0HWOGoaqvyEOaDmceB9JAvPX-VfigIn1qeC3Ef-rkrBGTsca1HGlpG3dkOINhA/s400/a5.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#ff0000;">They have added a few new attractions since we had been last, one being the camel ride. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Cassidy</span> is fearless so I knew she would want to do it.

My appointment was at 8 am so I got there early so I could be one of the first ones back, and sure enough that strategy worked because I was the third person they called back. I was a little nervous about my weigh in because I do not get morning sickness, therefore I am just hungry all the time. Well to my amazement I had only gained .6lbs! Not even a whole pound! So I was happy about that. Then my next worry is my blood pressure. Well it was 128/68, which is fabulous! So the nurse said let's hear that heart beat then you will be on your way. So she lubricated my belly up and put the doppler on there and.....nothing. She told me she was not really good at this because she is usually a receptionist so she went to get the nurse practitioner. The first thing she did was lay me flat because at this point the nurse had my sitting up trying to find it. She takes over the doppler and.....nothing. So now I am starting to get worried. She tells me there is nothing to worry about though, because I had had an ultrasound my first visit so we knew there was a healthy baby growing already. Of course this did nothing to calm my nerves, especially when they went to get the doctor, who practically elevated me on my head and still couldn't find it. So off to ultrasound I go, with tears silently creeping out of the corner of my eyes. Then I have to sit in the waiting room for 25 MINUTES waiting to be called back. Finally this cute little tech comes and gets me and she gets me ready and puts the doppler on my belly and voila! We have a heartbeat! It was very strong at 167. I was so happy I just started bawling my eyes out. She said the baby was very active and the reason they probably couldn't find it was because the baby wouldn't stop moving so that made me feel a lot better! I just hope when I go back next month there won't be anymore drama!! I will post ultrasound pictures soon!Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-17258241868221082552009-02-17T09:45:00.000-08:002009-02-17T10:29:05.485-08:00ScrappingThis is for you Mandy!!!<br /><br />I am not sure where the name came from, but I have been tagged (twice that I know of!) to scrap! The rules of "scrapping" are to first list 10 HONEST things about yourself, then second pass it own to 7 other bloggers who embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap. Sooooo, without further ado....<br /><br />10. I love this whole blogging thing. As bad as I am about posing my own stuff, I love reading everyone's blogs to catch up with them and see where life has taken them so far.<br /><br />9. I am so lucky to have a mother and mother-in-law who help me out with the girls as much as they do. I am blessed to never have had to worry about daycare a day in their lives.<br /><br />8. I believe the Lord sent Matt and I Cassidy to CALM US DOWN. We were newly married and were partying 5 nights out of 7 a week. Four days after celebrating our one year wedding anniversary I found out I was pregnant. And as Tammy reminded me the other day, the only reason I took the test was because I realized I was late and we were getting ready to drink again! The funny thing is, today when I have a glass of wine or a margarita, that is usually all I can handle! (How stupid were we Tammy???)<br /><br />7. I laugh at inappropriate parts of movies. The only reason I bring this up is because Matt and I went and saw "Taken" Saturday night and there is a part at the beginning where a girl is almost killed and she is such a bad actress, she is crying in Liam Neeson's arms and I am trying to contain myself. My friend Casey is sitting next to me (She and her husband Adam showed up at the same movie) and she starts laughing to. Our husbands kept hushing us.<br /><br />6. I have joined a Bunko group and am really loving it! I only knew Tammy and Jaime in the group so I have enjoyed meeting the new ladies. I told Matt one night a month I was neither mommy nor wife and that he and the girls would have to fend for themselves for dinner. Of course he has eaten dinner at his mom's house each of those nights.<br /><br />5. I really enjoy my job. It is so nice to work at a "small" bank. Bryant Bank and the people who work here are great. We all get along and have fun with each other, which is extremely rare these days.<br /><br />4. I love this time of year because it is almost time for softball to start! The past three years Cassidy has played have been a blast and I can't wait for this year to start.<br /><br />3. My 2 year-old (almost 3) Madison is literally the funniest person I know. She is sweet, funny, and sassy all rolled into one package. And Lord is she smart. She knows her ABCs and can count to 20. She also has a very large vocabulary, which makes her funny. She uses funny expressions all the time, and the funny thing is, she uses them in the correct format at the appropriate time. Of course she only does this cute stuff at home or in front of Matt's parents or mine. The funniest thing she did recently was walk up to a new girl my brother is dating and asked her "Do you love my Bubba?" Not knowing what to say the girl kind of floundered a bit (with Madison waiting patiently for her answer) then she told the girl "Cause I LOVE my bubba!"<br /><br />2. Since we are being honest here I guess a big thing right now is that I am 11 weeks pregnant. I know they say to wait till 12 weeks to tell, but I have had a baby to die at 28 weeks so I don't usually go by that anyway. This was a definite unexpected surprise with me getting pregnant on BIRTH CONTROL! The irony is Matt was making an appointment with his doctor to get a referral to a urologist to get his vasectomy done! Oh well!! <br /><br />1. I am very thankful to God for everything He has given me. I am totally unworthy, but He still saw fit to give me a wonderful husband, two beautiful, healthy daughters, and a new baby on the way. I am thankful for my 5 wonderful nieces and nephews who are growing by the day. I am thankful for wonderful parents and in-laws who are there for us no matter what. And I am thankful for great friends who I may not talk to everyday, but who I know are there if I need them!!<br /><br />I am tagging Tammy Pickens, Leslie Hinton, Kelly Moore, Kristin Byrd, and Jessica Hall.Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290980504301647739.post-42503818493825438042009-02-10T14:20:00.000-08:002009-02-10T14:38:29.109-08:00Heavy HeartI have only been blogging for about a year now and really enjoy it. As bad as I am about posting on my own, I never fail to check in on all my friends to see what is going on in their life. Blogs are the only form of communication I have with some of you out there so I treasure reading about what is going on with your and your family. One of the bonuses of reading other people's blogs is seeing who's blogs THEY read and that is one way I have found other people I knew but just not kept in touch with. And it was through this method I have found blogs that are so heartbreaking, I usually have to walk away from my computer to get myself together. It is hard to look at my two beautiful, healthy daughters and know there are people out there who are just praying they have a good day with a very sick child. It makes me realize how much I take for granted. I ask that the Lord help me be a better mother to do all I can to help my daughters be the person He wants them to be and I pray for the strength that if any obstacles come our way we overcome them in His name to glorify him. I also pray for these families that I have listed below and ask those who read my blog to pray for them too. <br /><br />http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com/<br />http://ferrickfamilypromise.blogspot.com/<br />http://themcclenahans.blogspot.com/<br />http://sweetcarolinebaby.blogspot.com/<br />http://www.colbert-family.blogspot.com/Matthew, Allison, Cassidy, Madison, and Charleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719730296172936640noreply@blogger.com0
