Some people have a lot of nerve!

So this post really isn't about the kiddos or me or Colin at all! But I wanted to vent! Sorry in advance!!!!
I have had 2 kiddos already as you all know but I swear I must have a huge target on me this pregnancy because everywhere I go someone has something to say or Fuss about to me. I am not a mean person but some times people just push the limits.
So today I could tell both my girls were getting cabin fever since we have been trying to stay inside with the raining the last couple days (OK only yesterday) and Madison's ears (yep double ear infections in BOTH ears and her tubes fell out like 4 days before this happened but that is a whole different story). Well Maddie had gymnastics this morning which is right by the mall so after gym we decide to go head to the mall. The girls have been wanting to get a new bear from Build a Bear (CUTE CUTE STORE). They have been great so I decide this is the perfect time. I pull in the parking lot and park almost all the way in the back since there is lots of people there due to lunch. Get the girls out, get the stroller out, load up and head inside. All was fine. Got the bears, had fun, you know the usual!!!
As we were leaving I was already a little annoyed because I cant walk very long with being a million months preggo :) So by the time I got to my car I was HOT and tired of walking. Need not mention the girls were cranky because it was a long walk. As I walk up to my car and stop I see this car behind me stop waiting for my spot. No big deal. I have 2 kids and a huge bag and a stroller to put up so I am sure she realizes it will be a second. First off I hate when people wait especially when just 2 spots down from me there was a lot of open spaces. But I tried to hurry my crying kids and buckle them in and get everything ready to go. Well, the lady not 2 seconds after I get to my car rolls her window down and tells me to "hurry your fat (butt) up, you know you see me waiting here" (I edited it since this is a blog for my kids and family!!) I was in SHOCK people to say the least. I laughed and turned around and said "Excuse me? Please tell me you are not talking to me like that, there is no need for any of that" so what does this crazy lady do?? SHE GETS OUT HER CAR! And tells me "what you think you are all high and mighty and people SHOULD be waiting on you" I was still in shock. WHAT?!?! I closed the girls door at this point even though neither was buckled up but I had no clue what she would do or say to me. So as she is walking up to me I tell her as nicely as I could although my blood was boiling at this point that she needed to turn around and leave or I was calling the cops. (Not sure why I didn't say something to her but I guess its because my mom always taught me to kill people with kindness but man at this point I REALLY wanted to punch her) I also informed her that there was a spot only 3 down from me and one on the other side. She starts saying F* u and calling me all these names and I am pretty sure she started speaking french because I didn't understand half of what she was calling me although I could tell it was not good :) And I also let her know that no I will not be rushing to give her this spot and put my kids in danger because of her being impatient. (I have yet to put the stroller up OR buckle them in by the way because of her) So she gets in her car and tells me to go ahead and call the cops and is still swearing at me but she does PEEL off and park her car. I do have to say I was a little nervous when she was walking up the lane since I was still at my car and I didn't want her to do anything to me or my kids or my car :) I finish putting everything in and buckling the girls up and sit in the drivers seat and I just started balling crying. I just did not understand why I am the one that ALWAYS has to deal with all these rude people. I mean seriously. It was like 30 feet away. And did I mention she had a little boy with her that was maybe 5 and he spit on the ground by my car?!?! I mean seriously what nerve. So I actually as I drove off from the mall today felt bad for her. Obviously something bad had happened to her but seriously there was no excuse as to why she needed to attack me like that. ARG! I am SO over all this :)
So I just wanted to share my adventure for the day! Sorry for the rant!!!

Swimming at GiGi and DoeDoes!

Here are some pictures of the girls swimming at my parents house. Notice how they had to pull ALL the toys in the pool. GEEZ! They even had tables in there! HA!

Beach with Daddy!

Spur of the moment trips are always the best! We headed up to Biloxi, MS before daddy went back to work and had soo much fun! Even when we did get kicked off the beach by the cops :) HA! The girls really love the beach and enjoyed themselves more than I thought they would. So did Jojo! She just loves to swim and chase birds so it was RIGHT up her alley!

Here is the story on how we got kicked off! We went to the part of the beach where no one was since we did have JoJo with us. No biggie. There were no signs or anything and no one too close to us so we didnt disturb them. We had JoJo on her leash anyways so if someone did walk by we could hold her so she didnt disturb anyone. Well some rude man came walking up and was picking fun at Jojo so she was barking. She doesnt really bark at people unless she sences something wrong. Well it was by no means a mean bark more of a "I really want to play" bark. But either way it would kinda keep me on my toes since its a big bark :) So as he was walking by he started like egging her on in a way. Saying stuff to her and provoking her. I was getting mad but of course JoJo just really wanted to play so she barked. FINALLY the man walked away and told Colin that dogs werent allowed on the beach (there was another dog we saw down the road by the way). So we said ok. No big deal. Well not like 10 or 15 minutes later they had two poice officers come up on 4-wheelers to where we were sitting. Just wanted to add that JoJo sat there quietly and NEVER even barked and they were on 4-wheelers! and they were super nice and just told us that they didnt allow dogs on the beach. They noticed there was no signs but they did inform us of all the rules :) So needless to say we had to pack up and leave. But of course we only drove like 10 miles down the road to another beach where we saw other dogs and NO SIGNS! We thought it was pretty funny though! At least now we know for next time. Texas beaches yes Mississippi beaches NO!

Lowes Build and Learn Clinics :)

If you havent tried these yet they are soooo much fun! Any kid would have a blast. We have been to a couple and love them! They are on Saturday mornings at Lowes and Home Depot. We have not been to the Home depot ones yet but plan to go this coming weekend. Go to their websites to find out more. Or just ask :) Here are some pictures of the girls with Colin making their project!

1 year married/6 years together

Sunday marks me and Colin's 1 year wedding anniversary and 6 years together. Hard to believe we have been together for so long :) God has blessed us so many times and taught us that no matter what life throws at you, he will always be there to help you through it. We have been through a lot this year but it was definitely rewarding for the most part! We have been through a lot and I am sure we have a lot more to overcome in our journey together but I am very glad I have a wonderful man like him to go through it all with. He is such a great man and daddy. He inspires me everyday and I am beyond lucky to have him by my side! I do have to say I have the greatest husband in the world. So Colin, Thank you for being such a wonderful person, husband, and father! I love you very much!

Madisons Gymnastics :)

I have been meaning to get some good pictures of Madison doing her gymnastics but of course I always forget. Well I remembered to finally take SOME pictures although not very good. I will try to remember to take better ones on her next gym class. She is doing sooo good and she LOVES it! I am so glad we put her in it! And its so cute watching her do her flips and cartwheels!
Here are a couple of the pictures. Sorry they are far away but its a big gym and the parents stay in a watching room. Next time hopefully I remember to start taking them when they are right by us :) She of course is the one in the lime green unitard! HA! Of course SHE had to pick LIME GREEN! But I do have to say it goes sooo well with her dark skin :) The last two are of Madison and Rylee on the way to Gymnastics that day in the car. I think we had just pulled up or something. Rylee was being silly :)
