Addie 2009 Soccer Photo

Okay - I apologize for way over-blogging this week or so. . . but I just got Addie's soccer pix for this year and had to post them - isn't she gorgeous???

Odds and ends

So the rule at our house is when our kids are fighting they end up in a hugging timeout - for an indefinite length of time - that the parents get to decide. At this particular time - Addie and Jax were fighting so they had a 5 minute hugging time-out. Gray, was NOT in trouble or even involved. He did, however, walk through the room when it was happening and seemed to think it was just a big fun LONG hug, so he decided to get in on the action...

Gray has been waiting for his birthday to come forever it seems like and couldn't wait to have a "friend" party. Here are all of his little buddies at that party - he had the best time. Props to Bailee who was the ONLY girl there. . .

Matt found the build-a-bear helmet for a bear of the boys and decided to put it on Emma. . .

Poor Emma - she got tired, no pun intended, of waiting for her brothers to finish lunch so that naptime could start. . . Cute girl right?

Today. . . 54%

Today I went to Walgreens, Smiths and Target. I spent $78.77 total and saved $92.19!!! Yea me!! I'm going to get better at this too. . . .This coupon thing takes some time to get used to but when you save 54% that's just plain great incentive. . .

A day of nothing. . .

Have you ever woken up in the morning and just hated the fact that you were up at all and that a new day had started? When that happens to me I just rebel, stay in my sweats all day, eat junk, and definitely don't exercise. DVR anyone? That's my day today. We all need a day like that every once in a while right? I'm sure it's a unwritten rule somewhere. So here's to nothing!

Gray's Day

Opening with a picture of Emma. . . I know - not what the post is about - but it's such a cute picture I couldn't resist. . . Matt took this with his phone yesterday - love this girl!

Gray turned 4 yesterday and we had the best time with him ever. He is the funniest kid - he told me yesterday that he is now too old to hold my hand. Stink. He got a Transformer BumbleBee costume and he wore it almost all day. . . See him fighting the imaginary bad guys?

His most favorite bday cake ever - TMNT. Thanks to all of the family who came down for his party yesterday!



Grandma Davis - these are the books which he LOVES!

Happy Bday Gray!

I love me some Matt. . .

Today is my best friend's birthday. I love this guy. . . He is the kindest, sweetest, bluntest, toughest, most honest, hard working, best guy. We've been together for 10 years now and it just keeps getting better. Through thick and thin, lots of drama and hard times, and the sweetest most tender moments, Matt has been there for me. Happy birthday babe! P.S. Can you see how long my hair was? Dang it. . .

Remember when?

Sorry the pic is so small - I can't figure out how to scan and enlarge it. Just click on it. . . So as school has started again for my kids - I pulled this picture out and couldn't help but remember when it was us! For those of you in this picture that have kids - can you see your kids in you? I can. . .

Finally!

Gray had his first day of preschool yesterday and he LOVED it. In his words, "It was totally awesome mom, just totally awesome." He was more than ready. . . Again, my pics are uploading weird. . . Jax's first soccer game of the season. . . Loves it as always. We moved him up an age group so he's playing with the 6-8 year olds and having the best time. . .

Pop Quiz - Can you decide who Emma looks the most like? Crazy isn't it??

Addie . . .

And Emma again . . .

Haircut Part 2

So the upside tonight? I emailed the girl that cut my hair (Matt's idea) and let her know how I was feeling and what I thought was wrong with it. . . She responded almost immediately and met us at the salon to fix it this evening - on a weekend, after hours. . . And is giving me a refund. Honesty with some humility pays off right? We'll see how the hair works when I try and do it myself tomorrow. . . Keep you posted if you want...

Bad hair cut. . .

Have you ever gotten a really bad haircut? I have . . . yesterday. Let's just say I went in for color and a trim and left with a female version of a mullet. There's no fixing it either. . . My (in my mind) beautiful hair is gone by at least 3-4 inches, and I have this interesting mushroom top for the top layer. So here's to a ponytail for at least the next 6 months. . . What would you do or have you done when this happened to you?

Addie's 1st Soccer Game. . .

So Addie finally played her very first soccer game! She was so excited but really nervous. . . which she told me afterwards... She was fantastic! She played both the defender and mid-fielder position. What was so much fun to see was that she actually understood each position and played it the way she should have! Her cute face was all bright red cause it was 90 degrees out and her team lost but she was awesome. She has never played any sports before, has never had any interest before now - so, we were really curious to see how this would go - and it was awesome! She even grunts every time she kicks the ball - Aren't the pictures cute? Little girls playing soccer is really fun to watch... I cannot figure out why when I upload pictures in one order the computer puts them on the blog in a different one. . . but this picture was supposed to be at the end. . . Anyway - this is what I found when I came into the backyard yesterday? The question is - was it on purpose or on accident?
