Gandma's 80th!

The Girls!

We celebrated Grandma's 80th b-day the day after Christmas even though she didn't actually turn 80 until January 9th. It was a great night with lots of family who love her. Shaun made a video for her to display her wonderful family.

How it all began!

Andrew and I were set up on a blind date by a girl I had never met but worked with a good friend of mine. She was also Andrew's neighbor. We went out on a first date on a Friday and he asked me to marry him just four days later. And I said YES. I tell you what, I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't there for myself. I actually wanted to tell this man I loved him on the first date (which I didn't). Call it fate or desperation but it's all true! We were engaged for eight months. (For all those who think we were crazy, that was plenty of time to back out.) But it was fate and here we are!

We're in Charge!

Andrew and I love to spend time together, when time allows us to. Andrew is an entrepreneur or so he would like to be. He always has something or some business to start. His mind is constantly rolling. One day it will pay off I know it! We own and run along with our other partners a bio fuel plant. I get to stay home with our cute kids and be mommy. Although some days I would rather run a plant I am thankful I am blessed to stay home. I sell Scentsy which allows me to get out once in a while. Over all we have a great life!

Things I want to remember!

Someone in my family told Brooklyn we are eating at Cinderella's castle when we go to Disney World in November. The funny thing is Brooklyn has no clue when November is so everyday she tells me she wants to eat at the castle when I ask her what she wants for lunch! It is going to be a long 6 months!

Brooklyn got a new stroller for her dollies but isn't allowed to have until she goes poop in the potty (refer to old blog). She refuses to go number 2 in the potty but really really want her stroller. Anyways she comes to me one night and says
Brooklyn: "My dolly so heavy."
Me: "I sorry."
Brooklyn: "I think I need my stroller to put heavy dolly in."
She thinks she is so slick! Must get it from her dad!

We are pulling into Walmart yesterday and Brooklyn says,
Brooklyn: "I get a snow white toy?"
Me: " We'll see."
Brooklyn: "Don't say no mama. You be nice to me."
Honestly what do you say to that?

Brooklyn wakes up a Grandma Lemmons house this morning and tells grandma,
Brooklyn: "I wanna make cookies!" (At 8:30 in the morning I might add.)
Grandma: "I've got to go to work right now."
Brooklyn: "Grandma, girls don't go to work, boys do."
Where she gets her logic I'll never know. Hope grandma is ok!

I picked up Drew yesterday and he tells me that he got his license to shoot birds. (Which I am not a fan of of but that is up to him). Anyways he says he was able to go hunting last week. I said-
ME: "How did you do?"
DREW: "I can't hit the broad side of a barn" just a serious as can be.

Grandma and Brooklyn were making cookies and grandma happened to be a little tired. In the process of making cookies Brooklyn spilled a glass of juice that was on the counter. Grandma apparently said a little too loud "GET DOWN!" Brooklyn ran off crying, a few minutes later she returned and said to Grandma "Grandma, you scared me to crap!"

Brooklyn: Mom, you know what?
Me: What?
Brooklyn: (In her most serious voice) Trix are for kids! And that silly rabbit keeps trying to get them! He is such a silly rabbit!
