Happy Birthday, Boo!

This is Rhett, he's my boo. (that means boyfriend for you old people:))

It's his birthday.

He invited me over for cake...

...I can tell my the way he looks at me, he feels the same way I do.

I know I'm young but I have found the man of my dreams. He is a few weeks younger than me, but he is so mature for his age. He comes from a great family and my Momma and Daddy approve...well Momma does anyways. We had cake together for his birthday and I wore the best and biggest bow I've got. He loved it. Happy Birthday, to my Boo. Love - Sadie Jane.

Seriously, Stephanie...

Today I went and sold our infant seat carrier. It wasn't something I put alot of thought into...we are having some "budget" issues lately so I am doing my part to help by selling anything in our house that isn't nailed down. (Let me know if there is anything you see that you like:)) I can make you a deal.
Anyways, I took it to Kid2Kid because it is quick and easy and doesn't require me doing much. I know you don't get as much money as if you sold it yourself but it was one of those things that I felt like was an easy sale...etc. So I drop it off, and they do tend to turn stuff down so I was all prepared for them to tell me there was too much spitup inside the lining or something when they asked if I'd like cash or store credit. I didn't say anything for a minute, then I told them I needed a minute. I know they thought I was CRAZY. So I called Mick, just to get that one more time, are you sure we aren't having another, and is this enough money? He said sell it, pretty fast. So I went back in got my cash and left. As I pulled out of the parking lot tears started rolling down my face. Here they come again as I am typing. Sheesh. This was my first item that I have let go of that pretty much seals the deal on no more babies. I have given away alot of clothes and sold some too, but I still have bags and bags of "the good stuff", "just in case". I still have everything else that we would need were it to happen. As I've said before we had to use help to get pregnant with both of our sweet babies so even if we tried I probably would not get pregnant again and I'd be totally fine with it that way. But deciding it on our own is really hard. Harder than I thought obviously. Mick mentioned making an "appointment" yesterday and I was feeling like it might be alright...then the carseat emotions today and now I am not so sure. I mean I seriously feel like I could throw up or cry any time I think about the stinkin' carseat. Both kids are asleep so fortunately that keeps me from driving up there and nicely asking for it back! Ha ha. Then they'd definitely think I was completely off my rocker. I am hoping this is like pulling off a bandaid and the pain right at first as bad...but then you forget about it and it's fine. I am sure Mick is praying the same after he reads this:)
I was trying to get a picture of both my babies in their sweet seat but it wasn't really working...hence the silly pics above...

Keep em' Busy, Keep em' Happy, Make em' tired!

We had Hayden this weekend so Jenny and Budda could go to the lake and relax a bit. We didn't have any "plans" for the weekend with anyone...but I organized us and filled our weekend full of activities so that the kiddos would be busy, have fun, and sleep well. All of the above is true except for Sadie Jane and her sleeping. She woke up this morning with another stinkin' runny nose so we'll go back to the zyrtec and nose spray to see if we can't keep from having the snots for a month solid again. Grrr. But the boys have had a blast and been worn out too. We played dress up with all of our old halloween costumes. You can see that the boys had a great time wearing size 6-12 month costumes from the disney store. One day the pictures will be used as blackmail. Mick obviously was not home or else he might have ended our "dressup" activity. Sadie Jane even got in on the dressing up and loved being a chicken, it was too funny! We then headed to the tennis courts, which was actually quite fun. I could lock them all in and Hayden can actually play with me a little bit. Micah is going to be a tough cookie. He gets SO frustrated if he isn't good at something right away. Which makes teaching a bit of a challenge. Then we went to MickeyD's and a playground by Mick's school so the kiddos could play and Mick could help after he got off work. The boys also got haircuts last night, much to their LOUD opposition there hair is cut and Hayden thinks he is bald. For free it isn't a bad cut:) I think Mick and I are more worn out than they are...but we have all had a great weekend together. We'll miss our Haydee when he leaves tonight!

Couldn't you just...

...eat her with a spoon. I am sorry, I know she is my kid and I don't like people like me but I love Sadie Jane so much and would love her either way. BUT she happens to be the sweetest little ball of goodness I've ever seen. She is saying words now and I wanted to document them...
duck, dog, ball, Haydee, Bubba, he-ey, bye bye, banana and a few others.

Apples, Pumpkins, and My Loves, OH MY!

We put Mick's furlough day to good use yesterday! We had been wanting to go applepickin'... (ie. Micah and I had wanted Mick to take us:)) So we planned a day to go pickin' in Ellijay and to Burt's Pumpkin farm after....We had sooo much fun. It took us a while to get there but we got there right at lunchtime so it wasn't too crowded. I can NOT imagine what it would be like on Saturday's and Sunday's, sheesh. The crowds are not for me. But Micah had been waking up each morning saying "are we going apple pickin' today??" He was pumped to put it mildly. He got to climb in trees and "twist and pull". Sadie Jane was our little animal charmer as she loved the petting zoo and just walked right up and stuck her finger up the little ponies nose. Micah was timid about them til he saw that his sister was making him look like a sissy. We then headed to Burt's Pumpkin patch...but I guess we'd had so much fun pickin' that the pumpkins needed no picking and the hayride line was too long so we took a few pictures and were outta there. It was an awesome family day and to top it off SayJ slept all night long! I think we'll pick apples everyday.
