Oh So Lonely....

I got off of work today and went to Lacy's house to pick up Maddie, and then we headed to the house. My mom and dad came to the house and my dad stayed with Maddie while I took mom to get a pedicure for her birthday. So she and I had a very relaxing time getting pampered. It was my first pedicure since last year sometime. I cant even remember for sure when it was, I just know that I had an ingrown toenail taken out of both big toes in December and havent been back till today. After we finished up, we all went to KFC for supper, and then my parents took Maddie for the night.

SO that means....I am all by myself.
Maddie's with my parents and Josh is at work.

Is it sad that I am so excited for 10'oclock to finally get here so I can go to sleep and not be so lonely?

Potty Break Through

Well, awhile back we bought Maddie this cute little singing potty/ step stool. Well I just figured we would sit her on it when it was convenient like before bath time when we have already taken her diaper off anyway. Usually she just sits on it and then gets up and runs away laughing. Well, today I sat her on her potty while I was running her bath water, and all of a sudden I hear this duh duh daaaa!!! I turned around thinking Maddie put something in the potty to make it sing, but NOPE! SHE TEE TEE'D in the POTTY!!!! She is definitely not potty trained and I dont know that she or I are really ready to fully potty train, but at least she is figuring out what the cool chair in the hallway is really for, lol. I think sometime this summer we will actually start the real training process.

More exciting news!!! 23 school days left till summer!!!

Prayers Needed!

What a week this has been...

First of all Josh's uncle went into the doctor, then sent immediately to ICU to run tests to figure out what was causing his stomach pain. They couldn't find anything because the inflammation was blocking all the scans. So they had to do emergency surgery and do an old style cesarean cut in order to end up preforming a colostomy. There were several boundaries to overcome because of his size. So he has been in the hospital for almost a week now, and will be hooked up to a colostomy bag for 3 months. The big scare in his case is preventing infection, so please pray that everything heals the way it should.

Secondly, a very good friend of mine and her wonderful husband just lost their house and vehicles when their house burned down. Crista and Tony Rojo were at their house when a neighbor came to tell them their tool shed was on fire, so everyone including pets got out of the house safely, HOWEVER, they lost EVERYTHING.
My Aunt Robins house burnt down several years ago and it was devastating. It makes me cry just thinking about it still to this day.
So my prayers will be with them while they get everything back on track.

Lastly I will be praying for all my friends and family who are mothers, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people in my life, and want them to know as Mothers Day nears you are all special in my heart and I wish you the best.Tonight I will spend lots of time in prayer asking for comfort for those who need it, as well as saying thank you for all the blessings in my life!

Longest Blog EVER!!

For starters we had a great Easter weekend. On Friday we spent the day at Lacy's house with Josh's family. After we cooked and ate an Easter feast consisting of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, hash brown caserole, etc. etc., Maddie went outside for her Easter egg hunt. I was very thrilled to see that she got the concept and was able to pick up about 10 or so eggs before Jensen and Justin scooped up the rest. While we were there Lacy decided to try out her new Chi on my hair, so I had straight hair for the weekend, and I loved it.


Also, I got started making my friends Lindseys cakes for her son Hayden's first birthday party. I made a monkey cake and a personal cake for him to devour by himself. It turned out pretty good, so I was happy, just hoping that they liked them as much as I did.


Saturday morning Lindsey called and we decided she would probobly need another cake due to the big turnout for his party. So I ran to the store and whipped up another cake before the party at 2:00. The party was very cute and I had lots of compliments on the cakes, so that was nice.


Then we went to my Uncles Tobins for another Easter get together, ate fish and other stuff. (My dad and uncles caught over 25o pounds of fish Saturday morning) Maddie got introduced to confetti eggs, and I do not think she fully understood the purpose....she would break it then throw it on the ground.

Sunday we went to church at Lakeview United Methodist (where Josh and I got married )because we all (her kids, grandkids, and Maddie) go to Grans church on Easter.

So needless to say, my 3 day weekend was busy, yet relaxing. Did I mention that Josh some how got Saturday off, so he was at home all three days! I love him so much!

Ok so the actual post wasnt as long as I originally though, but there are TONS of pictures!
