Well let me just say today was a great day! We have officially started Kurt's 30th birthday weekend off with a bang! So, our day starts with waking up to Aunt Leslie being here :) The kids were so happy to see her. They love love love her, and it is just so sweet to see them interact with her. When I sit back and watch them it makes me think of how much they have changed over their few years.. sometimes makes me want another one.. I said sometimes ha ha, anyway today Leslie went over all the times she had seen Madison when she was a lil babes, before Matthew was in the picture, and Madison in all her adulthood responds so differently than I would have expected her to. The most serious response of the day... Leslie and I were telling her about her crazy hair as a one year old. Were were explaining it like feathers, it looked and blew in the wind like a feather would, know of course Leslie and I are giggling because we remember how sweet she was at age one, just reminiscing of the baby days of the first born :) Madison so bolding says to us, with a look in her eye that a 17 year old would give you. "Don't laugh at me" Leslie and I look at each other and then try to back track were we lost the fun conversation to her being offended by us. It was so sad, made my heart break a little at the emotion her little 4 year old self had shown us. What really made me sad was she isn’t my lil babes anymore. She is growing and changing into the most beautiful little girl, and soon she will be a beautiful young lady, then a beautiful teenager, then a beautiful college student and then the gorgeous bride. I actually just teared up thinking of this! It seems like years away but they will come faster than I can even imagine. I love her so much, more than I can even comprehend!! Ok, so enough of the sad gushy stuff.. after that we surprised the kids with a trip to Chuck E Cheese. Now they always have mixed emotions about it, they are terrified of the mouse.. if they see him walking around they become tree frogs plastered to your chest or leg.. whatever they can grab and cling to its in their death grip, and let me tell you they have some strong grips! So after we get there and they walk around on guard making sure he is nowhere to be seen they let loose and really have a blast :) Their favorite game is skee ball, and they played almost all 40 tokens on it. Matthew cracks me up, he likes to play it over hand and he does pretty well with this method, making it in more than half the time, Leslie and I were cracking up :) It was just nice to sit back and watch them be kids.. free kids to do as they pleased to run around and just let loose. Not worrying about cleaning rooms, or taking baths but just having fun. It was nice to be there with them. They are enjoying a fun weekend sleep over and my very best friend Sara's house with her two lil girlies. So they were packed and ready all day always asking "now can we go to Hailey and Chloe's sleep over?" no joke Madison asked 50 times, I finally said Yes its time and she was so excited. We get there she runs up stairs and didn’t care about anything else except playing with them. Matthew on the other hand my sweet sweet boy was stuck to my hip. We get inside and he takes his shoes off we hang out for a little bit and then I tell him "Okay Mommy is leaving now" He runs gets his shoes and say "I’m coming with you" It was so sad, I actually contemplated bringing him home cause I just love him so dang much! Sara sweeps him away with a nice super mom move and we were off to start our Adult Birthday Weekend for Kurt. Meagan and Travis and Grace all showed up for our surprise for Kurt. We had a great night hanging out relaxing and chatting all in all I am so blessed and so thankful for everyone and everything the Lord has given us! Tomorrow is going to be amazing day.. more birthday shenanigans to come.. I will keep you all posted.. Love you all and God Bless YOU!
