This is something to blog about!!!

Tonight is the first night that Tim has spent with his little girl a 4 years! These 2 are loving it! We all are! The boys would not go to sleep tonight.  Bedtime is never very fun around here, but tonight their big sister was here, and they wanted nothing to do with going to bed! :( So Tim and Maddie popped popcorn, and watched a movie!  This picture speaks a thousand words to me! To see them both so happy is beyond my greatest words!

Big Boy!!!

My baby! My last baby, is sleeping in a big boy bed! It is completely heartbreaking! I cannot believe how much he has grown in the last few months! He is so much fun! I love this age!

I probably would not have done this so soon, at least until he turns 2, but we have made a few changes on account of miss Maddie! :) We wanted to get Maddie's room set back up for her, so I had to disassemble the toy room- which is now her room! I took out 4, yes 4 bags of toys for a garage sale, which I am having next week. and one bag of garbage! So I decided to just take Teagyn's bed down and move the bottom bunk over for Teagyn, so I could fit all of their toys and TV in their room!

When we put Gavyn in a bed, it was a nightmare for weeks! I was expecting the same this time! But, I should have known- Teague is such an easy going, whatever kid (just like his mom :) he goes right to sleep even at naps. No fits, rarely does he even get out of bed!!! I bought a baby gate to put in the door way, so he cannot get up in the night. And, Gav can crawl over it if he has to go to the bathroom in the night, so it works out great!

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weekend, although tomorrow I think it is going to rain! I might take Gavyn to see that new movie- UP, I think it is called, we will see.

Maddie

So here are the pictures, finally! I cannot even begin to explain how this has changed our lives! Maddie is such an amazing little girl. She has grow so much. Tim went and picked her up from her Mom's house last week. The boys and I were on egg shells, we could not wait to see/meet her! When they pulled in I literally hung on to the chair in the garage, I wanted to run to her and give her a hug, but I did not want her to feel out of place, scared, I was just so nervous. I figured I would just stand back to see her reaction. But she blew me away, I could see her struggling to get her seat belt off, she got out of the truck so fast and ran to he and gave the biggest hug- I could not hold myself together- I lost it. She was so big and beautiful! I did not expect her to do that. It was heaven. Then she looked immediately at the boys, and said awwww, you guys are so cute! :) The rest is history it was like she had here with us all of those years we lost! She rode the golf cart with Tim and the boys, played ball with Tim and Gavyn. We grilled burgers, so much fun. After all of that we went over to our friends Billy & Heidi's. Their daughter (Maddie) and our Maddie were really good friends but, have not seen each other in a few years. Maddie (B & H's) was inside out from the moment she found out that Tim had talked to Maddie- she was already planning sleepovers. :) Maddie told us that she missed Maddie too and wanted to see her, so we headed over there. Our Maddie was a little shy at first- overwhelmed probably. But within all of 2 minutes they were giggling and jumping on the tramp. It was a lot of fun for all of us.



Maddie cam over this week too for an evening, and she had really come out of her shell. I think she is feeling more and more comfortable. The boys just love her, beyond words! Maddie too! We are so blessed to have her be apart of our lives.



This is a picture that Maddie had for Tim when he went to pick her up. It is a picture of Teagyn, Tim, me, and Gavyn. Complete with a sunshine, and flowers! This picture speaks a thousand words!

Maddie & Maddie

I love this picture!

These 2 look so much alike!

Happy girl!

Teagyn and Gavyn love their big sister.....

She is finding out what it is like to have 2 brothers, lol.

Life is good! There aren't enough words in all of the world to explain how much better all of our lives are and will be all because of one little girl! I am so thankful for her- we all are!
