Black Friday.......

So I would like to self-proclaim myself as a professional black friday shopper.  Yes, I am 1 of the crazies who push and fight through the crowds to save a couple bucks for Santa.  I went when Jeremiah was a baby, I had him in a front carrier, plowed through the crowds and got what I wanted.  The year after, Jeremiah was 16 months and I was 8 1/2 months preggo with Little Miss.  Yes I went and took them both,  I only got into 1 fight because a rude lady thought it was ok to push a preggo Mama into a shopping cart (Almost peed my panties).  Now that the kiddos are older I can't have them tag along.  2 years ago Walmart had the Pink Power Wheel Barbie Jeep on sale.  Well I just had to get it.  As soon as they opened the doors I made a mad dash (got into trouble for running and was told to walk or they would have me escorted out) (oopps) I found the darn things wouldn't you know they had 4 boy jeeps and 1 pink one :(  I grabbed a boy jeep and bought it thinking I would figure out what to do later.  Turns out I found someone on Craigslist who had bought a girl jeep and wanted to trade for a boy! YAY!!!!  Score! Somehow someway it always works out and Santa's job is made a little easier.

This year  I'm sad.  The boot leg copy of Target's black Friday ad came out and it is a repeat of last years :(  Game chair--got it last year.  Razor Scooter--Got it last year What am I going to do?????  Do my children need anymore toys?  NO!  Are there any toys they don't have?  Ummmmm don't think so.  I'm stummped.  What should Santa bring this year?  What is Santa bringing to your house this year?  What are some alternatives to toys and books?

Emma Rose

Emma Rose, Rose, Rosie, Nosey Rosey, Baby girl, Sister love, Stinky, Emma Rosie with the pretty toesies, Emme, Emmers.  Now, this girl is a complicated girl (what girl isn't?). She is the biggest Drama Queen, Master of throwing fits, stubborn as stubborn gets.  She wants what she wants and she wants it NOW. And she'll get it too.  Don't get me wrong she's still sugar and spice and everything nice when she wants to be....LOL One minute she is the biggest helper, little Mommy, lovey dovey baby girl ~ The next minute she Queen of Sheba, Jekel and Hyde turning her head in circles crazy girl. And I love her too.  Calm she is not, passionate she is.  She's my little Gymnast.  Soooooo talented.  She started when she was 3 years old and has improved a lot since. She's always flipping, cartwheeling, back flipping, watching tv on her head. I know every mom thinks their kid is the best, but don't be suprised if you see her in the Olympics some day. As crazy as she is I love this little girl more than anything. Especially when she is a sleeping angel ;)

Jeremiah Matthew

Jeremiah, JJ, Baby J, Little J, Bubba, brother.  My first born.  He's 6 and growing like a weed.  THE sweetest boy ever, he loves his Mama and sister but still can be Daddy's bud.  He just makes me smile ;) I love him with all my heart and I just think he is the handsomest boy ever, but of cousre I'm his mother. He loves baseball and this season just moved up to Farm (from t-ball)  He's gone from the biggest guy on the team to the smallest.  It's so cute I just love to watch him play.  He's also super smart. He's 3 months into first grade and starting to read chapter books already!  I cannot believe it. He's a lover with a fierce little attitude, don't make him mad he tell you for sure.  He has the biggest heart of any one I know.  That's my Bubba.

Matt

Where do I start....My soul mate, best friend, the one I confide in, the one that drives me absolutely crazy, the one who makes me happy, my husband.  We met in 1996 and have been together ever since.  I like to say that we have been together so long that I could never be with anyone else.  Through all the trials and tribulations, happy times, things you don't even remember.  I could never explain any of that to anyone, but he knows it all.  Everything that we have ever been through has only brought us closer. 

He is the best husband and the double best dad in the world.  How many guys do you know work their tail ends off and then come home to 2 crazy kids feed them dinner and put them to bed while Mommy is at work.  (He even braids Emma's hair after her bath :))  He's a lover of all sports but mostly, Baseball, Basketball and Nascar.  Yea ::sigh::  that's right Nascar.  There I said it, he's a redneck in someone else's body.  Take a look at him, shaved head, tattoos, driving his lifted truck with a system down the street, what's that did you hear?  Yep he's bumping Country music. 

He doesn't care what other people think of him, and is probably the most upfront truth telling guy.  If you don't want to know what he thinks about you don't ask.  That's Matt in a nutshell and I love him <3
