I did it! I asked for a raise and I got it! I am so proud of myself. It is scary going to your boss and asking for a raise, especially now when the economy isn't doing the greatest. But I did it! YAH ME! And it was way more than I thought it would be!

Yesterday on my way to work I followed a semi on to the freeway and the name of the company was "Mason Dixon"! How wierd is that. I have never seen that truck before and now with talks of trying again soon all of a sudden there it is. Our second child is going to be a boy for sure now. That was totally a sign!
* in case this is confusing Mason Dixon Spence is one of the boy names we both really, really like!

I finally got to go to "Monday Night"! It felt so good seeing these people! These girls and boys are like sisters and brothers to me and I love them oh so very much! I just wanted to let them all know that!

Sammmie almost always gets a bath on Sunday night. She likes to start the week out smelling all fresh and clean, okay so I like her starting the week out all fresh and clean! Last night she was the cutest thing ever. She loves her baths! But last night she was crawling aroung and splashing and sucking the water out the washcloth.
okay, I admit the last one is a litte wierd, but she pulls of wired so good. And she is teething so it probably felt good on her gums!
I took some pictures and i didn't want them on Facebook, so I am blogging the pics instead!

It was wonderful. Everything we needed and more. It was so nice to not have worry about Sammie, as much as I love her, it was nice. We did up going to Vino in the Valley and what a gorgeous night to go....GORGEOUS! It wasn't as chilly as I thought it would be, until you actually went and walked the vineyard, then it was a little chilly. We drank a whole bottle of their house wine, ate, had great conversation, then walked the vineyard. It was defiently very benefical for us to have the date night!

Brad and I finally get a date night!! WHO HOO!! You really have no idea how much we need this and how much I am looking forward to this! Our relationship needs this....
We are going to Vino in the Valley(http://vinointhevalley.com/). I am so excited. I have been waiting all summer to go here! I went last year with some girls from work and LOVED it! Unfortunalty I didn't get to enjoy any wine because I was pregnant. But you bet your fanny, I will this year! It is the most amazing place...I would choose this over any resturant and day.
Just a shoot out to my mom for watching Sammie and keeping her overnight for us! Thanks mom, Love you lots!

I woke up this morning to it being 64 degrees in my house... Why you might ask? Because we don't want to turn the heat on and waist precious fuel and Brad wasn't around for me to ask if we could start the wood stove up yet. So in esence I am saying....I guess it is my fault! ;) What is a girl to do!
PS: No worrys though...I put a heater in Sammie Girls room, so when I went in there this morning it was nice and toasty warm!
Toasty.....toasty marshmellows! I wish I was under a toasty blanket with a cup of hot and toasty apple cider! mmmmmm
Anywho! I think we need to chop a lot more wood if I am going to stay toasty warm all winter long!

I am so glad you are back! You make a fall day perfect! And because it is September, in my mind it is fall!

It is September 1st...what a great day! Summer is finally over. I have never been a huge fan of summer. It is just to hot and sticky. I like fall and winter, much more my thing. Plus I like wearing all those nice thick cozy sweaters and all my flannel!
Sammie first...she is the most amazing thing ever. 7 months old and she is crawling(quite fast), standing and walking when she holds on to furniture. Just yesterday she crawled up the steps. I have never been more proud! Sometimes I think to myself "Sammie girl, don't grow up to fast, take your time and enjoy everything that life has to ofer you. You are amazing now and you will do amazing things later on in life" I could jsut eat her up when I stick her in little jeans. Those have to be one of the cutest things. I hate that I only get 4 hours a day with her. That is just not enough. I'm not sure if I'd want to be a stay at home mom, but part-time, just so I could spend more time with her.
Life has been interesting to say the least. So much going on in Brad and mine's life. I wish it would all slow down. We never get to see eachother. 4 hours a week if we are luckly. He is working 3 jobs, and people say it is hard to find a job, plus he has to cut wood for the winter and get pumpkins ready now. I feel bad for him, but I know he is doing it for his family. We finnally sat down and had a talk about everything. I really needed it. I feel so much better now.
Madison is growing up to be a stickin cutie! She just lights up when I walk in the room. She is such a lovable little thing and so mellow. Megan doesn't know how lucky she is.
Brad and I will be going to Vino in the Valley on the 11th. I am SOOOO excited for that! I have wanted to go all summer long and we couldn't work out a time to go! YAH....this is why I love fall. The vineyards will be gorgeous and I can drink all the wine I want!
That's all for now!
