Daycare expense

Can u believe 3 post in a row? Well I can't either! Ha!

Today in our child's mailbox at school we received our daycare tax expense report, I cringe everytime I see it, I don't know how we afford to come up with so much money, but we do and for that I'm grateful!

I'm also very thankful God gave me these beautiful boys to raise and love.

For wow factor......1 child in daycare in 2011, was 8,769.00......yes you read that right, I'm waiting on the other expense report from my oldest child's school!

To give you an idea daycare cost us about 12,000.00 per year!

That being said we love both our daycares and the teachers that love on our boys while we are working!

We are very thankful for each and everyone of them!

Sunday fun!

We have had lots of fun today!

We started the day fixing and preparing red beans and rice for dinner tomorrow night!

We celebrated with Ethan's friend Rachel for her 6th Birthday, thanks Rachel for having us, your party was super fun!

Alison came for a visit which is always nice and we took the boys to the park for a short five mins-it was too windy, but dinner at Wendy's and ice cream sundaes to follow, they weren't too disappointed!

A big thanks to Alison for helping me scrapbook this evening and girl talk too!

Now time to study spelling words for the week and start bedtime routine!

Goodnight all!

Date night and dinner with friends!

Tonight, I am one lucky woman,I have a date with the 3 most handsome men in my life! My little boys like to "date" momma too, they even like to dress up, when they take me out! I love it!
We are going to Chili's tonight-my fav right now!

I am super blessed to be going with friends, that have been in my life for the past 20 years, not many people keep the same friends for 20 years, both of these families have added new additions in the last four months, so if my boys let me I'm going to get some baby love!

Taylor and Smith families-I love you all and enjoy our friendship more then you know!

Looking forward toa fun evening out!

Tooth fairy

Ee lost his first tooth on Jan 6th, his papaw's birthday! I think that officially made him a big boy! So exciting, but kind of sad for this momma! Where in the world did my baby go?

I thought we had cash in the house and we didn't, so at 2 I awake the hubs to tell him that one of us had to go to the ATM, yes at 2am? Luckily he remembered he had some dollar bills in his truck! Needless to say we make a horrible Tooth Fairy, yikes!

I noticed last night the new tooth is coming in already, I thought it would take much longer! He is already wanting another lose tooth in the hopes of more money from the tooth fairy, I can assure the tooth fairy will be ready the next go around!

Proud Moments

I just wanted to share a few proud moments from this week! This wife and mommas heart is overwhelmed with pride and joy! But what momma isn't?

We will start with the hubs.........drum roll please.......my hubs was chosen as EMT of the year for his Fire Dept, what an honor to be recognized. His job isn't easy, I know because I worked the streets as an EMT for about 7 years, you encounter alot and see alot of really bad stuff. Yay, Brandon....congrats! We are proud of you!


Next I will share about Ethan, he got his second report card, and again it is perfect just like he is. My "baby" boy is growing up way too fast! We love you E man! You make mom and dad very proud!

And last, but certaintly not least is mr. Bre man, he has moved up to his preschool class and has adjusted very well, they moved him up a month sooner so this was unexpected, but he has adjusted well. And he is still completely potty trained. I can say for sure that we don't have babies anymore! We love you bre and are so proud of you!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Husband love

I must give credit, where credit is due! My wonderful husband has had dinner prepared for the last three nights in a row when I get home from work! This has been a huge help as Ethan has been given homework to do every night since he has been back to school from Christmas break!

I have the absolute best husband, not only for preparing dinner, but for too many reasons to list! First and foremost is a wonderful father to the boys to include reading, playing and bath time!

I LOVE YOU BABE!

Sorry ladies, he's mine........all mine ;)

Busy, busy week

It has been a super crazy week here with wrapping up the holidays, and the decor! We have managed to get back into our routine of school and work!

We have been to 2 birthday parties since New Years, and celebrated with our loved ones!
We have cooked dinner for my parents and one of my besties that had her baby!
We also have another round of chemo under our belt for dad! That man amazes me every day in his fight with cancer!
We also found out another friend is having a girl, this is definitely a miracle baby, and I couldn't be happier for the Foster family!

Ethan lost his first tooth yesterday on his papaws birthday! This will be a post on it's on! Lots of details to share!

We hosted the Watts' family tonight, always so much fun to have them over for dinner, and we are trying to be patient as Sarah finds out the gender of her baby this month- too much fun!

As you can tell it has been a very busy week, and we wouldn't have it any other way! I promise a post on weight loss is soon to come!
