Training.....

So Mr. Masters has had a 7 week training course in Chattanooga for the last couple of months. We have missed him terribly and it is no fun being a single parent. I missed my best friend and so glad that the training has come to an end. We love having daddy home with us!! So thankful for that fantastic man! We love you!!!!

Happenings...

So Mr. Masters and I went on a date and to the Atlanta Roller Derby girls. It was a great night and love to date my sexy hubby.

We sold the Volvo and Mr. Masters got a newer toy.

Father's Day

Ode to Mr. Masters.....

We are thankful for an amazing man and enjoyed celebrating him for the whole weekend. He slept in and had breakfast in bed. He also got a nap, then to the pool with family, and then we went out to eat.

This is Mr. Masters walking his new grill to his house.... our neighbors had bought a new one and kicked this one to the curb. This one is in much better shape than our old one. SO HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MR. MASTERS! =)

Our little Phoebe had her 4 year check up and growing. She is average weight but tall. She was not brave at all with having to get five shots but she said the finger prick was the worst.

Greyson had his 18 month at the same time and he is avg. weight but tall. He also had 4 shots and his little finger pricked. It was a rough morning but we all survived. The one pic I took of Grey at the doc office did not turn out.

We are so blessed and praise God our babies are healthy... Praise God regardless but thankful for a healthy doctor visit.

March Post

This is not in any particular order but it happened in the month of March....

The Family came to cheer me on as I ran a half-marathon. I loved that the girls made signs for me. Later the girls were drawing me crossing the finish line with Medals and balloons. I love it since they usually draw the daddy or stuff about their daddy.

Here is a picture of Mr. Masters winning at tennis with his doubles partner Meridith. They are on a winning streak and we are so very proud of Daddy! He won his division in singles too.

We bought the kids a bouncy house, we figured it was safer than a trampoline, and they love it.

Here is a picture of G-man before going to get his picture taken professionally. He is talking, running, hitting, screaming, climbing.....you know the typical boy stuff.

The girls ran a St. Patrick's Day Race and did great! Ice Cream and Shamrock medals were given out as rewards. Phoebe was barly beat by a little boy in her heat; she is fast! Recently we discovered she can walk on her toes, you know like the professionals....so you better believe we will have her in ballet soon.

I painted my front door and love the color...I love house projects. I am driving Mr. Masters crazy with all my "house projects". Next I plan to do the girls rooms and bathroom. Pictures to follow.

This house project was Mr. Masters, who used pulleys to secure the bikes to the ceiling of the garage. It frees up space for all the kids junk to fit on one side of the garage and leaves only one parking space still.

We are outside all the time and Gray loves to ride in the girls cars. They drive him all around the cul-de-sac.

This is a video of Lula riding her bike without training wheels. She is also reading really well and tieing her own shoes. She is growing up fast and can not believe Kindergarten is coming to a close. Where does the time go....

The kids love to dance and here is a video of all three cutting a rug. I just love them!

We recently celebrated a fantastic women's birthday. Happy Birthday to my mother-n-law who turned 60! We enjoyed celebrating with her and look forward to helping her update her kitchen for her birthday present. Heres to a wonderful godly women that I/we are so THANKFULL to have in our lives!!!!

God is good and that is all the time(even in the bad too)....but thankfully we are all healthy, happy, and together at this moment in time and we Praise GOD for all the undeserving blessingssssss we have!!

Weekend

Mr. Masters had a tennis Match this weekend and he won!!! Way to go!

Greyson is getting big, he has started to stand all by himself. It will not be long before he is running around.

This weather is beautiful and we spend all our time outside. The whole family went for a bike ride and the girls did great keeping up with us.



Mr. Masters sporting his beard while playing the Wii at our monthly game night.

Sunday Mr. M and I worked the church nursery and while playing with the kids I twisted my ankle, not smart to run in heels, but we had a great family and friend weekend!

As the Summer comes to a close....

Here is a picture of the girls celebrating Emily and my Birthday!!

Nana and Grandpa came for a visit...thanks for coming we had a wonderful time as usual.

Game night at the Masters' House..thanks to everyone coming!

The last day of the pool being open....goodbye Summer, until we meet again.


The kids bike riding and playground at the Alpharetta Greenway.

Our big girl started Preschool.. Phoebe was so excited to go to school just like her big sister.

We are missing Daddy while he is away for 10 whole days in France. We are praying for you and come home to us safe! We love you!!

Mr. Masters

I know I am bias but I think I have the most amazing husband. He not only is a godly man, but a wonderful husband, fabulous father and does it all with a sense of humor. Here are some reasons I wanted to share why I think he is Mr. Wonderful...

He loves his family unconditionally
He is my best friend and I look forward to him coming home everyday
He can cook and clean
He not only plays with the kids but takes care of them (they think he is the coolest)
He still opens doors for me
If i mention that I want or need something he gets it (within reason)
He has a calming effect on me ( I can't explain it)
He takes care of us now and is organized enough to worry about taking care of all of us later
(school, weddings, and retirement)
He tells me he loves me daily and that I am his favorite =)
He tells the girls every night while tucking them into bed that he is so proud of them and loves them with all his heart
He takes active role in the children's' activities
He knows what size the kids wear and me too (he dresses me better than I can)
He still dates me
He betters himself daily
He still holds my hand any chance he gets
He can fix most things (electrical, plumbing, woodwork...you name it he tries it and is usually good at it)
He takes care of all of our vehicles ( does a lot of the work himself)
He is not afraid to try something new (I love his sense of adventure)
He reads to the children
He looks forward to growing old with me and having grand babies
He makes me feel so special and loved
He is always there for me and the children
He makes me feel safe
He misses us when he travels
He tells me and makes me feel beautiful inside and out ( he does that with the girls too)
He is passionate
He hates when I cry
He is my biggest fan
He dances with me
He makes me LAUGH
He fixes everything

I love who I am when I am with him and I love the example he is giving to my children. I am so thankful for him and do not show him enough what an Angel I think he is!! This list, of course, could go on and on.

Here's to you Mr. Masters for being Mr. Wonderful!! I love you and have enjoyed being a part of your life and look forward to seeing what God has in store for us.....

Mr. Masters

How do you honor the father in your home in one day?! That is easy...you don't!

We try to show him daily just how much we appreciate and love him! I see God working through him everyday and so blessed that my children get to walk in his foot steps.

I am thankful for the daily godly example Mr. Masters is to my children so they know how a father should be....

I am thankful for Mr. Masters love for God, life, and adventure that gives the family an amazing since of how life should be lived....

I am thankful for Mr. Masters amazing love for me so our children know how a godly husband should be....

I am Truly Thankful and Praise God for giving him to us...

Happy Fathers Day to you Mr. Masters

This picture was taken at the last playgroup at my house. The kids had fun doing a craft but us moms were wore out. =)

Phoebe loves to brush and play with my hair...I think she is jealous because she does not have any hair but it is starting to grow a little.

This is Phoebe stuck in the cart and luckily I did not have to call the fire department.

This was taken before Anthony left for a business trip out in the front yard.

Here is a prego pic of me...it is not the best since I was fighting a sinus infection but this is all we have taken.

Had to tell....

So a couple of things that I thought were cute to share.......
I told the girls that once I put them to bed that they are not allowed to get out of bed for any reason, and since the living room is right under their room I can tell as soon as they get out of bed. SO I heard them and went up to their room to get on to them and they were in the floor praying together. I thought it was so sweet until Lula said "Mom we are praying for you to not be so angry and mad at us". Boy did that make me feel bad! So now I can hear them running around up there like crazy and they sound like two cats fighting but there is noway I am going up there.

My sweet husband said I was sexy because I can still use excel with formulas and all! Guess my prego brain hasn't completely been depleted of brain cells after all.

Lula is very curious about Greyson in my belly and is always asking questions. She thinks it is crazy that Greyson is in the dark. It really bothers her and she wants to give him a light. Good luck with that one. =)

I made the mistake of letting the girls watch Thundercats, thanks to DVR, I remembed that being one of my favs growing up and thought what harm could come of it. Well Lula insists we call her Lion-o. I am now know as Wily-Cat and her dad is Prince Cat. She sings the song and she has only watched like 25 minutes total.

Lula was trying to describe that her "energies" were bothering her and that is why her throat hurt and she was sneezing. I told her that I did not have a clue what she was talking about and she said " you know mom how you energies are bothering you right now and that is why you are sick". I finally figured out she was trying to say allergies not energies. They can get so touchy when you don't understand what they are trying to say.

Anthony ...

Randomness

Lula has been spending a lot of time in this spot, so I decided to take a picture of her in her glory! Her mouth has been getting her in trouble lately.

Playtime with playing in the rain and tea parties.

Phoebe being silly in a reaturant and her rock star hair.

I love this picture of my 3 musketeers making googly eyes.

Aunt Brittany came for a couple of days to visit and we all had so much fun! The girls love their Auntie Britt.

I had to throw this one in....well I could not stand it and cut myself some bangs!! I know I am crazy but guess what I am crazy!
