Mondays Musings

"The ups wouldn't happen without you, and I couldn't get through the downs without you." - Copied from my birthday card that my hubby made me

This is exactly how I feel about Matt, too. Isn't it so sweet of the Lord to pair us up with spouses that help us so much! I know that Matt helps me, encourages me, and challenges me to be a better person just by the way he lives each day. I pray that both Maggie and Kerri Grace's husbands are just like their sweet daddy!

Gaymon Weekend

Matt is one day older than me. He was born August 27, 1980, and I was born August 28, 1980. He says he learned alot on that day between our births, and I say that I always knew I would marry an older, wiser man!

It is fun having our birthdays a day apart. For the past ten years (ever since we started dating), my birthday has felt more like a holiday of sorts. And, I am a sucker for holidays!

We celebrated our "Gaymon Holiday Weekend" this past weekend, in usual blow-it-out-fashion!

Friday night, we went and watched Daddy play dodgeball in our neighborhood dodgeball tournament. Matt had a great time playing dodgeball (which I completely do not get, but I am glad he did). And, the girls and I had a great time watching him, meeting new people, and spending time with friends. It was really like a mini tailgate kind of experience, and it was super fun!

Saturday, we spent a relaxing day at home which is right up the Birthday Boy's alley.

Saturday night, we had a Combo Birthday Party with both of our families. Matt's mom cooked a delicious meal, and my mom brought a super yummy chocolate peanut butter cake complete with mini peanut butter cups. We were literally showered with gifts. Everyone was way too generous, but we were very appreciative. We had a great time!!

Today, we went to church, rested, met with our Community Group, and then the girls sang me Happy Birthday! Scroll down, pause the playlist, and enjoy! (I think my favorite part is Maggie's praise at the end of the song...so cute!)



We are two blessed people which makes our birthdays so, so sweet!!! Happy Gaymons' Weekend to Us!

Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery

If this saying is true, Maggie should be the most flattered of us all!!

By the way, we are not trying to potty train Kerri Grace yet. But, she loves to sit on her little potty whenever Maggie goes potty (just like she wants to do everything Big Sister does.) So, I figure it doesn't hurt to go ahead and get her used to sitting on it!!

Silly and Sillier!!!

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and pause the playlist! Enjoy some fun dance times with Maggie and her Daddy. She is so silly! I'm pretty sure her Daddy is sillier, though! I love them so good.

If Only I Had An Envelope That Said "Whatever Handbag You Desire"

Wouldn't that be so nice?!!!

Redeeming Factor of the Day : The girls and I are still in our Pajamas and plan to be that way for a while, and our playroom looks like this....

I know I'm not the only one with little OCD traits. What drives you crazy or makes you happy that is a little uptight and quirky?
