Friday's Letter

Here is a little letter to the best wife, mother and woman of God,
It seem to me the last month has been really crazy with me working overtime, getting certified to dive and everything else. I have not had enough time to spend with the best family in the whole world! I'm really looking forward to this weekend even though we've dropped way to much money lately but that's life. I thank God everyday I get to spend this life with you though. Even though we may not understand now it's preparing us for the amazing things God has in store for us. I love you so much!!! YOLO! (you only live once)

Ryan

"B" Day

Good morning! It's Thursday! Which can only mean one thing...tomorrow is Friday. YAY!!
In school Tanner's class is learning the letter B, the color Blue and they are also learning squares this week. Mrs. Parden sent home a note saying to decorate a shirt with buttons for boys and bows for girls. She said don't make it a big deal or spend any money. I was kinda excited about it. I found a shirt that he wore to his 2 yr old bday party and called Dawn to get some buttons. I was very happy with how it turned out and strangely proud of myself!
I was trying to take his picture this morning and he was not having it. Please disregard all the junk in our laundry room.

Here is a picture of the shirt. Notice that it's Blue with Buttons with the actual letter B on it and it has a square on it! I bet he'll be the cutest one at school today! :)

Hope you have a good "B" day Tanner! Love you!

All Boy, All Girl

I laugh when I think of how girly Ryleigh is and how boyish Tanner is. To be honest when they were younger I didn't know how they would be. Ryleigh kinda seemed like a tomboy sometimes and Tanner was scared to death of bugs or anything that moved really. Now an average night at our house looks something like this...
She saw these at Wal Mart and wanted them so badly so I picked them up and saved them for a day when she was really good all day. Yesterday was that day. They are just peel and stick but you would think she had a full manicure going on! She was to cute with them on.

Last night Tanner went with Ryan to Gill's to work on the boat and here is what he came home with...

Yes, a turtle. I know it seems so cute but it's not so cute at 10 pm when I'm asleep and Tanner comes in and sticks it right in my face to wake me up to show me! It scared me to death!! He is head over heels in love with his new turtle! HE slept with it in a box beside him all night. I talked him into letting it go in Mom's pond this morning. He was heartbroken about it but I told him it would live otherwise.

Mom, your pond is becoming an animal hotspot for our family. Just the other day Tanner caught a small bass and made us bring it home from dauphin island to put in mom's pond!

FYI-I do have some really cute pictures from Lindsey's lingerie shower this past Saturday but I haven't had a chance to put them on my computer yet...they are coming soon!

Also, 3 days until Alabama football kicks off, 24 days until we leave for Disney and 38 days until Lindsey's wedding. Yes, you read that right Aunt Lisa...38 days!!!!!

Friday's Letter

Dear Husband, My favorite quote from you from this week..."Sometimes life sucks but at least it sucks with you by my side!" You make me smile. Dear Ryleigh, You are unfortunately not helping your case for getting a kitten by asking me every 5 seconds if you can have one. When I say I'll think about it you respond "Please, don't think about it, you might think no!" Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I'm thinking NO. Dear Larry aka LaLa aka Lolly, we hope you have a wonderful birthday! Dear male cousins, sorry I showed you all up last night on the total gym at Nana and Paw Paw's! It must feel terrible to be beaten so badly by a girl! You all must have not heard in the rules that we were seeing who could do the least number of pull ups. So therefore my 9 totally beat the 100-125 you guys were doing. Man winning feels good! :) Dear Ryan, I totally think we should get that quote blown up and put above our bed! It's much cooler and realistic than the cheesy Always Kiss Me Goodnight that other people put above theirs. 10 cool points for always keeping it real. I love you more than cheesy quotes above people's beds.

Countdown to Disney!

Let the countdown begin!!!

We have 31 days until we will leave for Disney!

31 days until we will get to see this...

and these beautiful princesses...



and these classic characters....
and we get to eat here...

and stay here...

Whitney and the kids made an official countdown to Disney craft last night! I really didn't think they would be that excited about the whole countdown thing but they love it!!! They'll get to pull off one link everyday until we reach the top! They keep saying when we reach the red dot we will be headed to Disney!!
I'm happy that they are so excited! This works out well since they don't really have a concept of time. This morning on the way out the door they reminded me that we have to pull one off because that means we are one day closer!!!

Whitter

Oh this girl makes me laugh!! Every Friday she comes through the drive thru at my bank. While she's waiting in line to deposit her check she writes me a poem on her check envelope and then leaves it on my windshield for me to get in the afternoon. The poem the other week was...

Last night we made a cupcake tower

Now we need to go to Curves to get on our girl power.

I'm so glad this week is done,
Oh, how much I love your son.

Wish I saw you more,

But it's not my fault I am poor.

Let's Jam Buddy!

We can play with silly puddy!

And play duck, duck goose,

then go hunting for a moose!

You make me laugh Whitney!! I love you!!

Dear Ryan, the above picture is for you. Just in case you needed a reminder on what your wife and kids look like! I feel bad that you have been working so much that you get home after we are asleep and leave before we are awake. I really do appreciate all the work you do but being a single parent sucks! Dear Congress, I think you should pass a law that states it is illegal for a transmission to go out in a vehicle while you are still making payments on the vehicle. Dear Davis Garage, When I receive my bill from you for Ryan's truck please make it cheap. My bank account can't take much more stress! Dear Friday, YOU COULD NOT HAVE CAME SOON ENOUGH!!! Dear Tammy, I'm not sure if you read our blog or not but if you do I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday! It'll be the first one in a long time that you haven't been home for mom to cook. Thanks for making me miss getting a good home cooked meal. Dear Mom, If you still feel the need to cook a birthday dinner for Tammy on Sunday feel free to. We can take pictures of the food and record us singing Happy Birthday before we eat the chocolate cake I'm sure she would get you to make if she were here. We don't need her here to celebrate the day she was born! :) Dear man who still makes me smile even while delivering the news of a bad transmission, Can't wait to spend some quality time with you this weekend. Although it can't be anything that cost money. We have a transmission to fix and I doubt my proposal will reach Congress in time for us to get off the hook!! Love you more than cash in our bank account! ;)
