Mother's Day

I hope everyone that reads this had a wonderful Mother's Day. My wonderful little family made my day fabulous. I had breakfast in bed...Baylee got in the bed with me while Michael cooked breakfast. It was Baylee's way of making sure that I didn't go in the kitchen while breakfast was being made. I think she just wanted to snuggle with me and didn't want to get up yet. Baylee made me a "coupon book." It included coupons for back massage, mopping the floor, and cleaning the bathroom! GREAT PRESENT! Michael got me a pedicure from my favorite little place. We had a great afternoon...I had requested that Michael fix his famous shrimp etouffe (sp?) instead of going out to dinner. I thought a nice quiet dinner at home...well we had party crashers. Mom heard that Michael was cooking and that was all it took. My parents were in B'ham and I had expected them not to be back in time. Well, Mom heard Michael was cooking and they hit I-65 southbound. The more the merrier and she had Carrot Cake cheesecake from Cheese Cake Factory, YUMMY!! We had dinner outside on the deck it was so nice outside. Then to top off the day...The Blue Angels flew overhead. YEAH!! Michael found out they were flying home from a show in Louisiana. Needless to say, I had a great day thanks to Michael and Baylee.

Natalie Grant

What a blessing! Baylee and I spent a week trying to win Natalie Grant tickets and backstage passes from Power 88 for her concert May 2 in Mobile. Without a win, we thought our chances were over. Baylee had to go with her Dad friday and she said forget it. Well, God had another plan. Last Saturday we went to Crossroads book store and Baylee registered for tickets to entertain herself while Michael and I looked at books. Well...I got a phone call Thursday evening and Baylee WON tickets and backstages meet and greet tickets! YEAH! She took her Dad in hopes that Jesus would work in his heart through the music. (he is a musician) Baylee sat on the front row and had a BLAST! It is so amazing to realize that God does have a plan and he does reveal himself in many ways that include concert tickets! Look at my baby with Natalie Grant...Please click on the top video on the video bar and watch Natlie Grant's video In Better Hands Now. It is our current favorite song.

Babysitting

Ok I am writing because I finally have a quick minute! I am babysitting Sophie since Wedesday(my 2 year old niece) who is VERY active. The only reason I have a moment is she is currently modeling ALL of my high heels that I have in my closet! She is on pair #5 and she has many to go...she has a shoe fetish. We have had a blast with her! The dog is not to sure about her though...jealous! I heard Sophie screaming and the next thing I know Irie dog is tearing though the house with her pacifier!! What a baby the dog has become! She loves anything PRINCESS and considers herself one. Baylee and I took her out to dinner last night we were exhausted by the time we got home. I felt sorry for the people that had to clean up after us...mac and cheese on the table, floor, and some left in Sophie's hair for later! In the car on the way home, Baylee reminded me that we DO NOT need a baby at all because it was too much trouble! I guess you can say she has the only child syndrome. Sophie is going home today and we are really sad! It has definitely given Michael and I something to think about if there is going to be more children in our future. Maybe adoption of a potty trained child!! haha! I hope to post some pictures of Sophie's adventures at our house! She is a HOOT and I can't wait for her to come back! I must go now, she is currently trying to brush the dog's teeth with her tooth brush and diaper rash cream. Man, she is fast!
