Some cute Pics and an Update

So, Chad took his physical agility test for the Smyrna Fire Department yesterday. We had set up a practice course this past tuesday. He did well on it, it was extremely difficult and I'm pretty sure there was no way I could have done it. Anyways, he finished the practice run in about 10 minutes. As for the real thing, we aren't 100% positive, b/c they don't tell you, but we are pretty sure he passed. They told him a week before that typically if they don't say anything to you, then you passed. We will find out in 2 weeks. (hopefully) I am so proud of him for finishing. He said that the guy before him didn't pass. So it is just a waiting game now. Pray that he gets an interview and does well!! Please!! P.S. there are also two more new posts under this one! Check it out!! ;) P.S.S. I just noticed our front porch looks horrible, we have since then sanded and painted our front porch haha.

Soccer!!!

So we started Hallie in soccer last monday. It was hilarious. For those of you who know Hallie, she is ALL girl. She is the only girl on the team, and it just happened to be EXTREMELY muddy that day.. It was so funny to watch Hallie, everytime she would kick the ball, she would start doing little ballerina leaps and start frolicking through the field, meanwhile all the tough boys were running circles around her kicking the ball and falling into the mud. She had a water bottle and before she would kick the ball she had to clean the mud and grass off of her ball with her water bottle. Then she started skipping through the field, squirting her water bottle on the ground saying, "I'm planting flowers." At one point, she fell into the mud and that was it for her, she said, "Okay, I'm ready to go home now." When we got into the car she said, "I'm muddy on my shoes, I'm muddy on my pants, I'm muddy on my hands, I'm muddy on my face, UGGHHHHHHHH!!!" Haha, it makes me laugh just thinking about it. Anyways, Chad is the new coach of her soccer team, he is so excited. Her first game is tomorrow, but he's going on a campout so he has to miss it. :(




Here she is with her water bottle, after she fell in the mud:

1st Dentist Visit

So 2 saturdays ago, we took Hallie and Owen to the dentist. We went to Wild About Smiles in Murfreesboro. It is the perfect place for little kids, they have tons of toys and a little tree house, nintendo, prize carts. Anyways, they had fun..for the most part. They took us to a room and they laid them down on the little bed/chairs. They started Owen first, he started screaming, which made Hallie scared b/c she thought he was getting hurt, so when it was her turn we had to hold her down so they could check for cavities. It wasn't good, but then they got to pick a prize from the prize cart, they LOVED that, they had everything from jewelry, to balls, to cars..so cute. They also took a picture of them and gave it to us with the date and it said "first dentist visit". They were Cavity free by the way!! Chad and I also went to the dentist that week. We hadn't been to the dentist in a LONG time. I know that's bad, but we are procrastinators when it comes to the dentist, I guess! They told me that I had beautiful teeth and I had NO cavities. Chad had one cavity and a fractured tooth, he is getting those fixed today. Here are some pictures of the kids at the dentist. I wish I could have taken pictures of them laying down but chad and I were both holding them down..haha.

Eeeek....

Last week, Chad's boss came up to him and told him that they are getting rid of his position. Scary. We really were hoping they wouldn't do this until the beginning of the summer. It happened a lot sooner then we had hoped. We quickly made dentist and eye appointments. We won't have benefits anymore. We are trying to find Chad a new job, I might need to get a job too, just until we find out about the fire fighting position. I don't know if I mentioned it, but Chad is trying to get on with the Smyrna fire dept. It will be a perfect job for him while he goes back to school. He works 1 day and then is off 2. The benefits are great, and he also has a dream of starting his own business so this would work great for that. He has his physical agility test next week. It's extremely difficult and most don't get through it. We still wont find out if he has the job for probably a month after this test. Please pray for us. We need to find Chad a job, and he REALLy needs to pass this test!!! Funny picture:



Haha!!! What do ya'll think of my husband becoming a sexy firefighter??

Birthday, Bedspread, Haircuts and Babysitting

So, yesterday we celebrated Chad's 26th Birthday. I went to lunch with him after he got off work, we went and had sushi with some of his friends. This was my 3rd time having sushi, and I actually liked it this time. Then he went home and I went to my parents so he could take a nap (he wakes up at 4am every morning so I wanted him to be able to take a nap on his birthday). He didn't get much sleep though, b/c people kept calling him to wish him a Happy Birthday. I came home and I was going to have a surprise birthday party for him, but that didn't end up working out. We had a small get together anyways, I think he had a fun Birthday. Happy Birthday Chad!! Love you!!

This is a picture of his decorations:


Owen had been eating a sucker and everytime he went to pick up a Balloont to throw it, it would stick to his hands and then he got the balloon stuck to his face.


Here is my Bedroom, I haven't been able to get pics for the frames yet, and Chad still needs to screw the headboard into place on the bed. I was wondering though, this room was already this color when we moved in, what do you think about the color of the walls with this bedspread? Is it too much green? If so, what color should I repaint the room? Here is the post of the before pic, its the very last pic on the post http://chadandbonnyday.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-house.html






Owen got his first haircut last saturday!! I was sooo nervous! I was worried that he would scream the whole time and that he wouldn't let them get near him. He was actually really good and the lady that cut his hair was really good with him. I really miss his blonde, baby hair but he looks cute with his new haircut. Now that I've watched the lady cut his hair, I think I will be able to do it from now on. I tried to take several pictures of his new haircut, he would smile and look at the camera and right when the picture took he would look away, ugh! I need a camera that takes a picture right when I click the button. Anyone know of any cameras that actually do that? Here are a few of my several attempts to take a picture of his haircut!!






Before and After:



(there was one little piece of hair that just wouldn't go down..oh well)

I went with Chad to chaperone a church youth dance. It was so fun I felt so old though. Leah watched our kids, we got home and it was so quiet, I went into Owen's room and this is what I found:



So cute!!!
