Missing you....

“Cuddled in Heaven” We had so little time to share, Too soon, I had to leave. I know how much you love me. I know how much you grieve. I know how sharp your pain is, I feel the aching in your hearts. My life so quickly ended before it barely had a start. I remember how you held me, and kissed my face and hands. You cuddled me so gently, but God had other plans. I was your perfect angel from God you knew I came. Suddenly he called me home again, and now God holds my hand. I know you’ll always miss me, I understand your pain is hard to bear. Just remember that I’m in heaven and we’ll see each other there. So smile when you think of me and wipe away all your tears. I’m cuddled now in heaven by our family members here. I’m waiting here in heaven, and on the day we meet again, I’ll be the first to smile and greet you, when God calls you home to him.

Ever feel like your head is spinning?

It's 11:53 and I am up browsing blogs and facebooking a few minutes before I go to bed. This is usually the only time during the day that I have chance to even touch the computer! : )

I feel many times like I have 1001 things running through my head all at once. Here's what I'm thinking right now:

-Thinking about how I felt 4 years ago the night before Tyler was born, the heartbreak I felt, the feeling that my life was ending...
- Should I go to Publix or the florist tomorrow to get the fresh flowers to take to the cemetary?
- Is my camera battery chaarged?
- I need to remember to buy dish soap, launcry detergent, and formula tomorrow
- I had so much fun playing ball with Maddy today and listening to her laugh each time I threw the ball!
- What am I going to do about working next year now that my job has been cut and there is a hiring freeze in Duval County???
- I really dont want to have to work full time and be away from my babies
- Oh it was so cute today when Mason was smiling and cooing at the waiter at dinner tonight!
- Love how Maddy said at dinner, "I need to say my prayer!"
- I'm going to have to redo my resume yuck!
- Need to make the flash cards that Ms. Becky gave us at speech the other day to practice with Maddy.
- which bills can I pay in advance for the summer since I wont have my normal paycheck?
- Need to find my appt card so I can see if Mason's 4 month well check is this Monday or next

Ohhhhh I am feeling sleepy hopefully I can turn my brain off and get some sleep. Night-night.

Yo-Ho Way to Go!!!!!!!!!

Last weekend we decided to take Maddy to this Pirate Museum in St. Augustine that I read about. We have never been there and Maddy is ALL about pirates lately! She loves Peter Pan and now is crazy about the new show Jake and the Neverland Pirates so I knew that she would love this. Plus, the past few weekends we have been so busy doing things around the house etc. that we were ready to spend a day off together as a family doing something fun! We got to St. Augustine and let Maddy run around a bit on the grassy area near the fort. She had a blast running up and down the hill!






Next we headed over to the museum. As soon as Maddy saw the flags she was saying, "It's a yo-ho! It's a yo-ho!!!!" It was a great museum they had real artifacts from pirates, a real wanted pirate poster, props from the movie Pirates of the Carribben, and even one of the only origional Jolly Roger flags! They also had intereqactive exhbitis where you could fire a gun and fire off a cannon. The loud cannon noise scared Maddy and she also wasnt a fan of the movie room. They had head phoines that you put on and it tells a tale like your on a real boat, it gets pitch dark in the room excepot for a lantern. Yeah, she was NOT a fan of that, we left that quickly! One of her favorite things was this fake pirate who was asleep in this glass display. He saw laying down and his chest moved up and down like he was alive. Maddy thought this was so cool. After we left she was telling everyone, "He MOVES!!!!" The exit was through the gift shop (isn't it always! lol!) and so we got Maddy some gold doubloons like they have on Jake and the Pirates. The only bad thing was they wouldnt let you take pictures in the museum!!!! : (





After the museum we went down the Old Street and then had lunch and picked up some Diary Queen on the way home. I love days like this!

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!

We got Maddy to go to soccer practice and play and have fun!!! Yay!!!!!!

So we went into the second week with NO expectations. I just told myself if she doesnt play it's ok, I'm just going to wait and see how she does (and I took her by myself this time, Matt had to work). So we got there and as soon as they began she was saying, "I want you Mommy, I no want to go..." So I told her ok Maddy you dont have to go you can just sit here with me onthe blanket and watch but we are going to be here for a while so you may get bored. It will be more fun to play. So she was timid kept going back and forth between if she wanted to go on the field or not. Then my freind Beth said, "Do you want me to take you to get a ball?" Luckily she agreed and then had a blast!!! She did all of the activities and loved it. It was so cute becasue every few minutes she would look over at me and give me a big smile or a little wave! Melted my heart!!!!

The coach was great with her and it was so funny because alot of the kids were stopping to pick flowers on the field (Maddy wasn't really interested in this) so finally he called the kids into a huddle and when they broke from the huddle they all ran and began picking flowers, all the parents were like what are they doing? Then coach said, "I told them they could all go pick a flower for their moms but then no more flower picking until soccer practice is over!" So cute!
Here's pics of my little soccer star!











Lot's of birthday's!

A few weekends ago we had a very busy weekend complete with two birthday parties! Maddy was sooo excited since she LOVES cake and cupcakes! The first one was for her cousin Catalina's birthday and it was at the Tea Room, this is a place that Mad's and I love to go for lunch. It's perfect because they have a little kid's dress up and play area so we sit right beside it and then she can just go play while we enjoy a relazing lunch! Here are a few pics from the party.







Next we went stright from this party to my niece Emma's party! Theirs was at their house and Maddy had a ball jumping in the jump house and eating snow cones!








Fun weekend!!!!
