Oh Jeff!!!

I told my hubby that he screws up so seldom that we have to milk it for all it's worth when he does. SO...

Jeff was cooking breakfast this morning and one of the items was sausage. (full disclosure: I did something similar, but not to this magnitude) Mom and Dad have a gas range and it is a little different to cook with, so the sausage cooked a lot faster then normal and smoked up the kitchen BIG TIME. Mom and Dad's smoke alarm is connected to the alarm system so everything starts going off. There are bells and whistles everywhere, so it was hard to hear the phone when the alarm company called. Since the call went to voice mail and the fire alarm was triggered guess who they had to call next?!?!


Here are the fire engines as they pull into the drive way. The kids loved it and we were all out on the porch to greet them, but Jeff wouldn't show his face. :) We apologized to the poor firefighters and they informed us that we were their 5th false alarm in the past 24 hours. At least your in the company of others honey...Merry Christmas

Happy Birthday Jeff

To my sweet husband...

Hope this day has brought you smiles and you know how much you are loved. The world has been made better these past 33 years. You have a compassionate heart and a desire to help others that I admire. You give your all to you family and make us feel so special. You work hard at work and still find the energy to help me with the kids or around the house...I can't put into words how much that is appreciated! You deserve so much thanks and lovin' for just being you:)

Happy Birthday Baby

Surprise

A couple of weeks ago Jeff told me not to make any plans for Saturday the 25th. I said okay and left it at that. Later he told me we had an 'appointment' at 5:45 and would have to drop the kids off at my parents by 5pm. Just before I got in the shower Saturday afternoon he finally told me where we were going. It was kinda a combination of treat for me and treat for him. We had dinner reservations at The Melting Pot (one of my very FAVORITE places) and then we were going to the Alison Krause (one of his favorites) concert at 8pm. I like bluegrass so don't think I didn't enjoy myself:) We got all dressed up for our KID FREE night, had an amazing dinner and fun at the concert. Below you see a picture of our friends the Shipps. Jeff didn't even know they were going to the concert (to celebrate their anniversary), but our seat were semi close and we were able to see them before the show.
Our seats were on the floor, front and center. The music was great and it was nice to have some time with my hubby. The kids had a great time with KayKay and Tex. I think KayKay would say the good time ended when Baylor decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning!! Mom had the monitor in her room since we knew we'd be pretty late getting in. I'm really hoping she ended up getting a nap this afternoon:) Dad is off to Seattle to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of UPS. Even though he is retired he wanted to be apart of the celebration and is meeting some of his old work friends out there.

One more...

boy going to school that is. Jeff started graduate school yesterday and I just couldn't resist being a little silly. He has gotten used to this whole pictures of every occasion thing, but probably would rather me not have done this one...He indulges me:)

For the next 8 weeks he will be at Lipscomb University beginning his MBA. This is something he has wanted to do for a long time. We want to support and help as much as we can. SO give him an encouraging word or be ready to do something with me and the kids when we are driving him crazy:)

Lingerie, Birthday and Walking

From the title you can see we had an eventful weekend!! On Friday I threw a Lingerie party for my sister...nothing too crazy, but we had fun. She turned several shades of pink and I was glad some people tried to embarass her a little.

On Sunday was Jeff's birthday!! We celebrated with lunch at Macaroni Grille with my family and dinner at Casa Fiesta with some friends that evening. (The weekend before we went out by ourselves b/c Nana and Papa were nice enough to offer babysitting as part of his present.) Jeff had to wear a big Sombrero, we sang and ate some very yummy chocolate cake. I love my hubby so much and wanted him to feel special on 'his day'...Happy Birthday Jeff!!

When we returned from dinner our sweet girl FINALLY decided to walk!!! We have been trying at this forever it feels like and finally have hope that she may waddle down the aisle in June. Jeff posted a great video below so make sure to check it out.
