Congrats to my Wonderful Hubby!

Josh has been at his job for over a year now and has been working hard since the beginning. It has been a little different actually selling the food instead of cooking it, but he still manages to find many opportunities to cook. He had a sales meeting last week and he received rookie of the month (they are considered rookies for like the first 3 years). I was so excited for him he has a nice award to put in our office at home. He also found out he received fourth place in a sales promo they have been running for two months and is getting a nice bonus! I told him that I cant wait for one day in our life he will receive a bonus and we wont know what to use it for, instead of paying bills off, we can use it for fun! I love you Josh , thank you for working so hard for our family.

Attack of the licorice Part 2 well kind of....

So this story will take a little bit of explaining so bare with me. Josh's family all know this story very well and he was against me posting this, so please limit the amount of licorise bouquets you send to him :) When Josh was younger he hide a bag of licorice that his parents had bought in his room. Well it came back to haunt him, in the middle of the night he had a nightmare that the licorice was attacking him and ran out of his room screaming and crying. His parents got a good kick out of this and tell this story often. So you may be asking why I brought this story up, because last Sunday we were very lazy a stay home all day. (I know how horrible, such sinners) Anyway, I had set my chapstick down in random places and kept lossing it of course, I feel like I lose everything except weight that seems a little bit too attached. Well sometime during the day I had set my chapstick down within reach of Kaydence and she snuck it up to her room. I had mentioned through out the day I could not find my chapstick. So at about 4:50 am she runs in my room wakes me from a dead sleep yelling "Momma I found it! I found your chapstick!" Startled and confussed I took it from her and had to just laugh. She ran back to her room and quickly was back to sleep. I think the guilty got to her, just like it did her daddy, that she had to give it back to me. The funny thing is that about 10 minutes later as I lay there trying to go back to sleep I can hear her laughing in her sleep. So maybe she didn't feel as guilty as I thought she had. I rolled over to Josh and whispered to him it was Attack of the Licorice Part 2, he didn't think it was that funny.

6 years!

Wow, today is the day that Josh and I met six years ago! I cannot believe it has been that long. Of all the places to meet, we met at a wedding so of course it would have to work out right! I am so thankful for my husband and all the hard work he does for our family. He is an amazing man and I have loved every minute , even the bad ones, of the last six years. I love you Josh!

North Carolina

We are currently in North Carolina and having a great time. Kaydence loves being her and having Maddie to play with all the time. For me it is great to be away from work for a week and to not have to worry about anything, but I do miss my hubby a lot! Love you babe.

We finally got to meet baby Kalab! Here is a picture of his first bath, as you can tell he hated every minute of it. He is so cute and so little. He has been a very good baby and loves to lay on your chest and snuggle. He has a cute little cry nothing compared to Maddie's scream that she still has!

We haven't done a whole lot and if you read Erin's blog and her horrible natural birth story you would understand why! But we were able to get out for a bit to go to the park and get some sea shells at the beach. The girls had so much fine and it was very pretty at the beach. They loved collecting sea shells and they filled up one of my cargo pockets in my capris. We are taking them home for daddy.

While at Erin's house Kaydence and Maddie enjoyed playing hide-n-seek. Maddies is hiding in the corner.

Both Kaydence and Maddie love baby Kalab they love to help feed him and hold him, but they don't ever want to help with diapers. We have a few more adventures this week for I will post more later.

Picture with Baby Knox!

My friends Alex and Nichele just had the cutest baby boy a month ago. We decided to make them some dinner after they came home and Kaydence just loved Knox. She loved holding him and would barely give me a turn. Alex took such a cute picture of her holding him. She is going to be a really great big sister one day, she does really good around babies. I hope it will last since she will be having 3 new cousins in the next couple of months. One will hopefully be out before we come to visit on Saturday! When are we having more kids you may ask......not sure you would have to talk to my uterus it has a mind of its own! :)

Thanks Alex for this great picture, Knox is such a gorgeous little boy!

Happy Easter!

So I know it has been a week since Easter but we have all been sick and have not done much of anything but cough all the time. Thank goodness we are starting to improve because we were running out of clean dishes. Anyway, we had a very fun Easter with Kaydence this year. Josh and Kaydence headed up to Morgan ( I was stuck at work til noon :(boo) where Josh's moms family is from and participated in the city Easter egg hunt. Kaydence won three baskets and was very excited! Then they headed over to Josh's grandmas house, she does a big lunch and her annual Easter egg hunt. She write all her children, grand children and great grand children names on eggs and puts them through out the yard for us to hunt down, she is an amazing lady!






We got all the great grandkids to sit on the porch to get a quick picture. Kaydence is in the middle, the cute one that sometimes resembles cousin IT from the Adams Family ;) The adults spread candy , eggs and other treats throughout the yard and the count down began to let the little ones loose. Kaydences got a ton of candy and treats to go with her other three baskets from earlier that day. After all the hunting and eating Grandma rents out the bowling alley for everyone to enjoy a couple of games with the family. Kaydence loved bowling and Josh was so good with her, helping her roll the ball down the lane. I can proudly say I beat Josh and I am still waiting for my massage he owes me. After a long day we headed home. After a much needed nap time we colored eggs with Kaydence. She is just like her daddy loves to be in the kitchen! Her favorite part was putting stickers to decorate the eggs after they were dry, she will do anything that involves stickers.





On Easter Sunday we got up and ate yummy pull a parts one of our favorites. Kaydence was so excited to see that she got yet another basket with goodies. This making number five, six if you count the package Auntie Erin sent her earlier, so much for my diet. We went outside to see eggs all over the yard, which neither of us had put down, I think the neighbor beat me to it. or there really is an easter bunny? We had a great weekend and I am grateful for all I have, I have been truly blessed. I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.

Be careful what you say....

We were so lucky to have a child who takes everything so literal. We have learned the last couple of weeks that we really have to watch what we say around her. The other night she was driving me crazy running around the house with a wet wash cloth singing "clean, clean clean," wiping everything she could get her hands on. Well not thinking I told her, "your going to clean your butt right to bed." She then went into the living room, as I continued cleaning in the kitchen, not thinking much about it. Then I heard Josh ask, "What are you doing?" She was just listening to her momma. She had pulled her pants down and was cleaning her little bottom. Josh and I just had to laugh. Now we have learned to watch what we say.
