GIRLS.... GIRLS.... GIRLS

I was the only girl growing up.....how the times have changed. I now have two girls and guess what......my big brother is having a

GIRL!!!!!

My mom is blessed with 3 granddaughter!!! I am so excited for my brother and Stephanie! I cannot wait to meet my "neu" niece!! I have 1 niece and 3 nephews on Matt's side of the family and they are all so awesome. I can't wait to have another niece on my side! Although I have to say the little stinker is already stubborn like her daddy because it took them 3 different ultrasounds to find out she was a girl.......the first two she WOULD NOT uncross her legs....what can I say her dad is still stubborn!!! Ricky will have his hands full :-)

Love You All!!!!!

cabins Again.....

Matthew's Birthday ...SO I planned another trip to Gatlinburg for one night at a cabin with all of his friends and wives/girlfriends. There was a total of 19 people there throughout the night. The cabin was gorgeous( thank you Dustin for knowing people in high places :)!!!) Matt and I had a blast and are so blessed to have wonderful friends in our lives!! We do not get to see these awesome people nearly enough!! I wanted to be good with the camera but as the night went on I didn't get that many pictures! Enjoy and thank you everyone for coming to the cabin:-)

Ray and Katrina :)

Ron

Love this man :)

Cheers!!!!!

Isn't it funny when you fight with someone your whole life and then they become your best friend???? I love this guy so much and I am so lucky he is my brother and friend :)

Dustin trying to watch the game and smile for me.......

I have some more pictures that I will try and get up soon but that is all for now!

Birthday Fun!!!!!!!

So I am going to back-up to January and start off with Baylee Birthday! Baylee turned 9 this year and it is going by so stinkin' fast!!! This year Baylee and Haveyn wanted to go on a trip for their Birthday presents so we and the "Stooksbury's" rented a cabin in Pigeon Forge for the weekend! It was awesome to get away for the weekend. The weekend before this, Baylee and Haveyn had a slumber party to hang out with their friends...So basically the WHOLE month of January was dedicated to her Birthday.......(she found out early how to do "birthday month")

too good to be true......

Just when I thought I had made my first surprise party come true.....I DIDN'T!! with only 115 hours, 24 minutes and oh say 54 seconds left to hold all this excitement in ...that is when this party was no longer considered a "surprise" party :-( Well I can say that I am not surprised about this and for the ones reading this and know me I am sure you are not surprised either! So it all happened like this....... we were driving home from eating dinner for Matt's birthday talking about the fact that I had a "romantic" getaway surprise for him.....Baylee has heard me talking about the surprise that actually involved about 15 more people so definitely not romantic but a chance to see our close friends and celebrate Matthew being 28....... so I asked Matt if our friend Ron had moved this past weekend and out of no where Baylee yells (not meaning too :) " Ron's going to the surprise!!!" we all started dying laughing and Matt responded "Wow real romantic me, you and Ron!!!" So that's that!!! He knows and is very excited that we are not going to Biltmore for the weekend(haha!!!) He later told me that he thought we might be going to Biltmore and he wasn't that excited about it! I always talk about Biltmore! Maybe next year I will succeed!


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I will fill you in on Monday on my excitement:) Love lots!!!!!
