HURRY 4:30!

I am so ready for the weekend to get here! A couple more hours...(sigh)... I am kid free for the weeked so I am going to most definitly take advantage of it! I will miss my little Princess though. Keith will be getting her this weekend and no, she does not stay over night yet. He gets her for a couple of hours every other weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I can not imagine her staying over night somewhere without me. She's my little cuddle bug and she sleeps in the bed with Jeremy and I every night! :) I know some parents have their kids sleeping in a seperate bed, and even a seperate room, but there is no way that I could do that! I could not imagine going to bed without having her role over and kiss my face and say, "I love you Mommy". ...but back to my weeked :)...

Jeremy is having to work tonight so Brooke & I are going to go to the movies :) I think were either going to watch Sex & The City or Shrek 3.. I know, what a combination HAHA! Just depends on what were feeling at the time :) Saturday I am laying out ALL DAY LONG! Very excited about it because Kayse, mom, Donna, Sister & I will be out my the pool acting all kinds of crazy! :) Then late Saturday afternoon I am going to pick up Brookelyn-Grace's new puppy!!! She has already decided that she is going to name it Toby. It is a male Shihtzu. Jeremy insisted that we buy a Shihtzu for Brookelyn-Grace's first dog. I really do not know anything about the dogs, but he says that they are great with kids. Brookelny-Grace loves dogs, but at the same time she's a little scared of them. She loves them, wants to love on them, pet them etc.. BUT she does not like it when they get all in her face, or mess with a toy that she is playing with. It is really funny because last night we were visiting with Pop and Katy-Bug's dog, Duncan was pestering her to death! He would come up and grab her toy that she was playing with, and would try to take her papi out of her mouth. She would say, "NO DOG", "PUPPY, PUPPY, NO". It was so funny! I can not wait to see her face when she gets her new puppy! I need to think of a cute way to give it to her :) I think if I wrapped it in a box like a gift, it would scare the crap out of her when she opened it. Ha Ha! I have been building up this puppy all week and I just can not wait for her to get it :) ..Back to the weekend :)

Sunday-I am planning on laying out ALL DAY LONG! Keith will have Brookelyn-Grace until later that night, and Jeremy will be working so I am just going to RELAX on my weekend!!! :)

Monday-NO WORK...Best part about the holiday! :) Excited about the family cookout at moms :)

KIDS BEACH TRIP

Our trip consisted of me, Brookelyn-Grace, Jeremy, Hannah, Parker, MeMe & Sister. Since our vacation feel on Mother's Day I insisted on MeMe going, and also it was her birthday that following Monday :) The kids beach trip went wonderful! The kids had a blast! The ride down there was great as well. The kids watch Finding Nemo twice ha ha (I forgot to pack another movie) Ha Ha We stayed at the Caribe in Orange Beach. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Our room was breath taking! It was like we had never left home! We had a three bedroom condo with a huge floor plan! The master bedroom and bath were to die for, and the views would leave you speechless! We also saw Dolphins in the bay several times. It was the BEST! :) The kids had a blast in the pools! They had 2 indoor pools, 3 outdoor pools, and a lazy river. It had so much to offer kids! The pools were awesome! Every pool had three levels to it surrounded with statues and maze like features. It also had two huge water slides that lead into the pool. Every morning when we woke up, after Jeremy cooked us breakfast(LOVE THAT MAN)Brookelyn-Grace would be saying, "pool", and of course that's where we headed. Also during the week we went to Adventure Island and played Laser Tag. Of course Brooke won! I think she holds the highest record there! Ha Ha Brookelyn-Grace also played. She did not wear the vest, but we had the entire maze to our self so she would just run around looking for us. It was so much fun! Jeremy and I rode a virtual roller coaster that scared me to death, but it was a blast! The kids had a time in there playing all the games. They loved it! Then we headed over to The Track. The kids rode go-carts and played in the arcade. Brookelyn-Grace rode double with me, and she LOVED IT! I was worried that it would scare her, but nope! ;) We also went to one of favorites at the beach, Lulu's. I just adore that restaurant! They have so much for the kids and parents. The kids played outside in their sand pit until it was time to eat and then we got to hear good music, and eat good seafood! ;) During our trip we took family pictures out on the beach. They turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! During our photo shoot Brookelyn-Grace played in the sand. She loved it! She got sand in her eyes and mouth several times and never even whimpered! She is most definitely going to be like her MeMe! Ha Ha I will most definitely have to post some of those pics because they were great!!! ;) Also while on our trip I broke my cap on my tooth and had some of the worst pain ever! I could most definitely go through child birth again, after experiencing a tooth ache! It became abscessed and swollen..blah! Well during this pain that seemed to last hours, but was merely minutes Brookelyn-Grace got scared. I was laying on the couch with my face barred in the cushion and she made her MeMe get up and come check on me. Then she kept saying, "mon, mom" (aka come on mom) Then I went to lay in the bed and she kept giving me kisses, patting my face, checking my eyes and drying my tears. I could barley talk and I whispered to Brookelyn-Grace to yell for Jeremy and tell him I needed a rag, and boy did she. She screamed over and over for him and then when he came in she said rag, rag! It was so sweet! I can not believe she picked up on how bad I felt and that she was so worried about me! I love my sweet little monkey butt! :) We celebrated Mothers Day by laying in the sun! Got to love it! Then we came back to the room, ordered pizza and then went out for dip-n-dots. We were a little exhausted from the sun Ha Ha! For mothers birthday I bought a cake and we took her out to her favorite restaurant in Gulf Shores, The Original Oyster House. She loved it and had a blast. Afterwards we came back to the room for cake. The cake was more for Brookelyn-Grace because she is obsessed with singing the "Happy Birthday song" She sings it to herself and about her self all the time Ha Ha! ALL IN ALL THE TRIP WAS A BLAST!!! Although it was a vacation, Jeremy and I have no decide that we need OUR vacation asap! Taking three kids to the beach is a lot of work, and very tiring!!! I SEE A CRUISE IN OUR FUTURE!!! ;)

Hannah's Birthday! THE BIG 10!

Hannah is 10 years old today!!!! We had her a Hollywood themed birthday last night at moms and it went GREAT! We ended up moving it to moms early because of all the storms. The storms did not stop the party! We had so many kids show up about (15) and with adults....the house was packed out! Her cake was so awesome (I made it) I still cant believe that I made that cake! Hannah was so shocked!!! It turned out great! Her decorations turned out great too! She also got tons of money! She ended up with $110 dollars, and that is without mine and Jeremy's cash we plan to give her. Then after the storms we headed back to our house where all the kids had a sleepover, HOLLYWOOD style! They had their popcorn, candy, martini glasses, and movies. They had so much fun! I think they stayed up all night! I love planning birthday parties! Mom and I discussed people in general yesterday and we came up with the type of person I am...I am a giver, not a taker! I work hard to make sure people get what they want and that they are happy. I would rather give than to receive. I love seeing peoples faces when they get something they wanted or something unexpected! People's happiness is the best gift for me! Just like Hannah's homecoming! I worked my BUTT off so that she could get something for HER... I loved hearing her name called out as Queen, and seeing her smile. It made all that hard work worth while. I know people said that I got something out of Hannah being Queen or that I did it for myself...but I didn't get to wear the crown so I don't see how that is true LOL..but just making a point..I am a giver..I like to see people happy... :) :) :)

EASTER 2010

Easter went great! We had a blast! We started out by going to my Aunt Angela's house with my mom's family. Brookelyn-Grace had a blast! She got her very cute Easter basket from the Easter Bunny & then of course MeMe, Pop & Granny all got her one too! She got some really cute things! Granny got her some of the cutest outfits ever! Her Easter dress was beautiful!!! She looked just like a little PRINCESS, but that's nothing new! ;) She is such a spoiled little girl! Then Jeremy & I picked up Hannah & Parker and we headed over to dads (Pop) house. Dad got all the kids an Easter basket too. I thought that was very sweet of him!!! By the end of the day Jeremy and I were worn out!!!

JEREMY & PARKER'S B'DAY

I have been meaning to blog, but I seriously never have time! My weeks are already full I even know! I am so ready for things to slow down! We always have something going on, and now I've signed up for softball, which is me adding more! I guess I am just that person. I complain because I am always so busy, but I have no clue what I would do if I actually had time to just do nothing..I would probally be lost Ha Ha!

Well Jeremy and Parker's birthday parties went great! We had Jeremy's birthday on Thursday March 25th @ Brangus. It was kinda of a suprise. Crystal let the cat out of the bag, but I still had a couple more suprises up my sleeve....He got to see his dad, and we had the kids there ;) I also put the cutest picture in the paper of him for his birthday. He was shocked! ;) All in all Jeremy had a great birthday!!! He had great friends and family there and I also got him a very delicouse cookie cake from Brookewood Village Mall. They have the best! He also got tons of gifts :) It was very sweet because on the way home he kind of got chocked up telling me that he really appreciated what I had done for him & that he had never had anyone do the things that I did for his birthday :)

Saturday was Parker's birthday. We had his birthday at Decade Skates, and all the kids loved it! Parker was so funny! I think he was on the floor more then he was skating. He was constantly falling. He had a blast though and so did all the other kids! He left his birthday with $80 bucks plus four gifts. Then we of course took him to Wal-Mart so he could spend his mulah! He had a blast!!! ;)
