Spring Photo

Here is my baby girl's spring photo! I can't believe Kindergarten is almost over.

I just got back from a business trip to Rome, Italy and Munich, Germany. I am in the process of uploading my pictures. I will post a blog soon with pictures from my trip!

Boys will be boys

Last night at church, Nathan went to follow his daddy outside. I don't think Matt knew he was following him. The glass door shut, and I guess Nathan thought the glass to the right side of the door meant the door was open and BAM he ran smack into the glass pane. Luckily, the glass shattered on the inside of a double pane window and no glass came tumbling down. And we are counting our blessings that we did not end up in the ER and Nathan only suffered a small bloody nose. He kept saying, "that glass hit me in the head". My response, "uh, no, son, your head hit that glass". Boys will be boys!

Fun Day

After opening day, we were able to work around the house outside. Mattie and Nathan entertained themselves pretty good while Matt and I did a few things. All of a sudden we heard the "music truck", what I used to tell her before she found out there was a man inside selling ice cream, (thanks mom). Anyhow...Mattie and Nathan hear the music and she starts begging for ice cream and instead of my usual answer of no, I said, "you can use your money you got from the tooth fairy". She thought that was a great idea and she offered to buy her brother one too.

It's that time again...T-Ball Opening Day

Saturday was opening day for the 2009 spring baseball/softball season. Luckily the weather was decent unlike today and yesterday. The events included a walk-out for each team introducing their players. Then there is a one inning scrimmage where each team gets to bat all their players. I just have to brag a moment, Mattie smacked the ball to the outfield, it was a GREAT hit. She loves hearing how great she is, and I sure don't mind telling her one bit.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Before and After

Who would have thought to have your baby teeth pulled by the dentist? Well, that was the case with Miss Mattie. I started noticing white dots behind her not very loose front bottom baby teeth. After a couple of days I realized they were her permanent teeth coming in with no regards to her baby teeth that were still in her mouth. I called the dentist and got some over the phone advice. He said, if the baby teeth were not practically falling out of her mouth, then the permanent teeth coming in could cause the semi-loose baby teeth gums to tighten up around the baby teeth thus causing two sets of teeth. Oh, no, we cannot have that. So off the the dentist last Thursday to let the dentist check out the situation. He confirmed we had to get the baby teeth out that day.

He wants to keep a close eye on the top baby teeth because we may have the same situation when that time comes.

After:


Wow, I can't believe we hit the lost tooth milestone, even if it was medically assisted. But what I really can't believe is that she got $10 bucks from the tooth-fairy!

Spring Break Week

Last week was spring break. Mattie was out of school. Never before had Matt and I had to worry about childcare during this week because she has always been in daycare and thankfully they are open year round. So, to remedy the situation and not have to ask Pop-Pop, you know the grandfather with no job (per Mattie), I mean, the grandfather who is retired. Matt and I decided to split the week. He took off Monday and Tuesday. I took off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in which Thursday was my birthday. It was a year ago, on my birthday, that I started here. Where O where does the time go? But I digress.
On Monday of spring break, Mattie and daddy headed to the Huntsville Public Library. Way to go dad, first day out of school and lets head to the library, the closest thing to school possible. On top of that, Matt said the air was out and it was a very stuffy situation. Mattie checked out 2 books, and my first thought was...who is going to have to take them back, um, that would be me. Thanks again dad.
So Tuesday rolled around and I am not recalling what they did on that day, probably went to every sport store in this town. I remember meeting them for lunch at Jason's Deli, one of Mattie's favorite spots. She is a salad freak.
Moving into my days with said daughter. Wednesday, we went shopping of course. We ended up at the mall and there, before our very own eyes, was bungee jumping. Well, not really, but the kind where they put you in a harness and attach you to some poles and you jump on a trampoline and such. So, after years of begging, today was the day momma said YES. It's spring break for crying out loud. She gets all hooked up and they raise her into the air, higher and higher, and I see "the" look on her face. I see her lip start to quiver and I quickly notify the boy in charge to "bring-er down a bit". Whew...that was a close call, and for 3 minutes she jumped until her heart was content or until the 3 minute time limit was up. We headed out to eat lunch with Matt and mom had rocked the day for a measly 6 bucks.
Thursday was another day that mom rocked. It was my birthday and I treated myself and Mattie to a pedicure. Of course she did choose the most awful purple polish with purple glitter on top, but it's spring break for crying out loud. She sat in the massage chair like she had done it a million times before. We had a great time, but I think I have created a monster. She fell in love with pedicures and she suggests we do this all the time.
Friday, Mattie and I did what she loves to do best of all, we went bowling. For some reason or another, the child loves to bowl no matter if it's on the Wii or at a real bowling alley, although the 2 are worlds apart. So, yet again, mom rocked the day with bowling and Chuck E. Cheese. Don't ask, because I don't know why in the world I let her talk me into going to that place. But she loves it and I love her, so that's what we did. As for brother, he got picked up early everyday right after his nap and we headed home so we could get some great playtime in with him. It was an awesome week, even if I do say so myself.

Until next time~
