Today we headed over to the Regions Golf Tournament. This was Fulton's first golf outing and we had many talks about how you have to be quiet. He did pretty good. </div>

It was Secretaries Day and I agreed to whip up something for the office staff at Matt's school. I found this beautiful picture of a cupcake bouquet on pinterest and thought it would be so simple to make. Hah. 5 hours in the kitchen and 50 cupcakes later, I finally had them baked and hand piped with homemade icing. The next morning I loaded them up with my supplies and headed to Matt's school. They weren't as easy to put together as I thought, but they turned out decent. I won't show you the picture of what they were supposed to look like. Next time I am asked to do this... I will pick up bagels from Panera. </div>

Fulton had been looking forward to Friday ever since I told him he would get to see Laylee and Macy. He simply loves these two girls. We headed to the pond to feed the fish, had a picnic lunch and the kids played on the playground until they were worn out.

Fulton had his very first Spring Musical performance last night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme was "What I Want To Be When I Grow Up." When we first started talking to Fulton about this he immediately said--worker man. That's what he wanted to be and hasn't veered from it since. So worker man it was and he sure was a cute one. </div>

And this is a little grainy, but notice how all the other kids are standing still and ready to sing. Well, Futlon spotted his cheering section and cannot resist giving them a little love. </div>

And after 3 cute little songs they sang, it was time to exit the stage and watch the others perform. He did a great job. He has improved so much since his first performance for the preschool </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the musical we went down to his room to see the art show. This is some of his art work from the last couple of weeks. His clwon face (which kind of looks a little sad), stained glass window, flower handprints, firetruck and his free art. Let's talk about the free art... we gave the kids white paper and free reign on the paint to create a masterpiece and then tell us what it was. He named his "Water and Flowers." It was beautiful!!</div>

We had a sweet night at church Wednesday night. Let's just talk about Wednesday nights for a minute. Up until this past Fall, we weren't big Wednesday night church goers. We made a decision last year to commit to this as a family and we have grown so much through this time. I grew up going to church on Wednesday nights and I want Fulton to do that as well. Anytime he can be immersed in the Word is a great night. We get to enjoy fellowship and dinner with sweet friends and then we took the kids out to the playground before Bible study started. Chloe and Fulton had the best time together. </div>

Fulton got this remote control Jeep for Christmas from Mema and Papa and literally broke it within the first five minutes. We brought it home and it sat in the garage for the last two months. We were cleaning out last weekend and found it. Matt was able to put it back together and get it working again (yay for a hubby that can and will attempt to fix anything). Fulton couldn't have been happier. I caught these two enjoying a moment together. </div>

That same day, Fulton snuck over to my room to give me a quick kiss--yes he really does that and it makes my heart smile. And I said--let's take a quick picture. He loves having me right next door. I will miss it when he moves up to a new class next year. </div>

Two weeks ago we had our big missions week at church called World Reach. This year I was on the planning committee and was coordinator for host homes. I enjoyed having a part in this huge week and learning the behind the scenes planning. We got a picture of some of the kids in our small group sporting their snazzy World Reach shirts. Chloe, Fulton, Luke and Anna Claire. </div>

And as we left church today, Matt said--let's go eat Chinese. Fulton replied with--I don't want to eat at Happy China. He changed his mind pretty quick and loved some wonton soup, eggroll, and sesame chicken. He is now a lover of all things Chinese food related. </div>

We have had a late start to school several days lately and have had to stay indoors so much because of how cold it has been. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They were predicting snow/ice for several days before and Fulton could barely stand it. Tuesday night we snuggled up before bed and talked about how we might get to play in it the next day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
School was even cancelled in anticipation of it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we waited all day and only saw rain... until about 8:00pm. We were about to put Fulton to bed and looked outside one more time and the flakes were coming down. I am so glad we made the decision to just head out in our PJ's and postpone bedtime. The sweet awing look on his face was worth it. </div>

Our sweet neighbors came over to play in it with us. The kids had a ball making snowballs and throwing them at each other. We were finally frozen and decided to call it a night. Special memories were made and it was worth it to forgo the bedtime routine for a night. </div>

We have had lots of visitors at school lately because it's Community Helpers month. Two weeks ago the dentist came to speak. Here's Fulton and his best friend from school, Elijah. They loved it!! It was actually Fulton's dentist that came, so he thought that was pretty cool. They even got to take home some toothpaste and a new toothbrush. </div>

Now, let's get to Friday night. I thought it might be "fun" to let him sleep with me. Hah! That was a joke. Fulton has never and I repeat never slept in our bed and I am so thankful we never started this. And it's apparent he doesn't enjoy any bed as much as his own. We made it until about 9:15 and little buddy just couldn't do it. He was flip flopping around like a fish and I finally took him to his room and he didn't object one bit. He loves his space and so do we!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get started. Matt and I met our Sophomore year in college at Jacksonville State University (January 2002). We actually had a math class together our first semester of Freshman year, but didn't even acknowledge each other then. Back to Sophomore year... we had a Geography class together and I was actually dating someone at the time (but that didn't last much longer). We had class and lab together and I had an old lab book (with answers-eek!) from one of my sorority sisters and he decided to start chatting with me because... well, let's face it, he just wanted the answers. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So we started hanging out after class and had a little "study group" going which usually ended with us going mud riding in someone's jeep, and not really studying much. So after weeks of this, cutie finally asked me out on a real date. I pretty much knew by this point that I was going to marry this man. So our first date consisted of dinner at a little diner called Cecil's Place and a drive in movie. I should tell you here that Matt was about to go off on Summer Beach Project with Campus Outreach and his disciple mentors highly discouraged him from getting into a relationship. So, he followed their lead and told me we couldn't date, but maybe when he got back from project. Thankfully he just couldn't stay away from me and quickly decided he couldn't wait that long. Insert me saying hooray~~ This is a picture of us during May term when we made a little day trip over to Six Flags. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So we spent the rest of the month of May hanging out everyday. We would go bike riding, have picnics, cook dinner, and just truly enjoyed each other's company. During that month he came home with me one weekend to meet my family. They were pretty much hooked from the get go too. He came to the lake with our family for Memorial Day weekend and this was our last weekend together before he left for project for two months. Boo hoo!</div>

This was one of our engagement photos. Precious right. We got engaged in September 2003. It was a regular Saturday night and he cooked dinner for us at my apartment. Later he suggested we go get ice cream and then we drove up to the top of this mountain in Jacksonville where you can see the whole city. Lots of sweet words, fond memories and talk about the future and it was proposal time. With one rose for each verse, he handed them to me as he read 1 Corinthians 13 out of his Bible. With that he was on one knee and asked me to marry him. Yes, yes and yes!</div>

My family and his were so happy for us. I had not always dated the best men and I was so thankful that the Lord was so gracious to me and allowed my husband to be such a Godly man that would lead our family to serve, love, and know the Lord better. </div>

Wednesday we met friends at the library for story time. It was a beautiful day so I brought our lunch along. We found a fun little playground, laid out our blanket and enjoyed our sandwiches.

Daddy was off school today--YAY!! We woke up to a dreary, rainy and cold day. We decided to let Fulton have a first and took him to the movies. We saw "Penguins of Madagascar." He did great! He got a little restless about halfway through and ended up sitting in my lap for the rest of the time. I was so proud of him. We enjoyed a great weekend together with each other!</div>

KK and Pop asked if Fulton could spend the night Friday night and he was so excited. He loves a good spend the night party. That meant we got to have a date night. Whoop whoop!!

Saturday we ran a few errands and enjoyed the morning together before picking up this cutie. He had a blast at their house, as always. He usually doesn't want to leave. Saturday night we made a homemade pizza. Like the dough was from scratch and everything. This was the first time and it actually turned out really good. And made a ton. It made like four pizzas, </div>

so we will be eating it for a while. Fulton loves to help in the kitchen. </div>

We have had a few warmer days, but mostly it has been a little chilly. We have been entertaining ourselves indoors and we are ready for Spring. This little guy keeps us laughing. He is in the thick of the 3's and this is a fun age. We definitely have our challenging days, but he is such a joy to watch as he experiences new things. </div>

After school last Thursday we had several errands to run and then we were taking dinner to a family and I just didn't think we had time to go home and take a nap and then get everything done. I made a crazy decision to skip nap and let's run our errands and then stop for a special treat. This boy loved it! We stopped at Gigi's Cupcakes and shared a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake. Once we ordered, Fulton said--Mommy you can get one too! Sweet boy thought he was going to eat this whole thing by himself. </div>

His new thing... telling us randomly --I love you Daddy or I love you Mommy. It just simply melts my heart when it is not prompted by us telling him first. More than loving us, I pray that he learns to love Jesus first. </div>

Monday we stopped by the library to pick up a book I had on hold and this little guy just plopped down in the floor and started looking at books. We have simply flooded him in books since he was a baby and I am so thankful he is starting to love them. We usually check out no less than 15 or 20 a week and come home with a huge stack to read for the next week. But he loves it! He will sit in your lap and let you read books to him for as long as you will do it. We left the library and had a yummy lunch with Aunt Kiki!! </div>

Last night was a sad night... we lost Floyd II. Sniff Sniff. Fulton picked out a fish for his birthday in September and Floyd I only made it about 3 weeks. Good thing I kept the receipt. Matt quickly exchanged him (for a different color I might add-and then we had to explain that Floyd changes colors--nice job parents) and Floyd II has been thriving and loving his new home. Until yesterday. Matt kept telling me Floyd wasn't looking too good and then there he was flat on the bottom. Here's where we decided it's time we tell the truth. We told Fulton that he passed away and we gave him the proper memorial service and sent him down the potty to the ocean where he could be with his mommy and daddy. So, all that to say not sure about this whole fish thing.<br />

So we took a quick picture and it was time for the show to start. Fulton loved it!! He asked a million questions. Stuff like.. why does the elephant have a star on his hip, why didn't all the tigers lay down when the guy told them too, why are the clowns jumping on the trampoline with their shoes on. I love his curiosity. So we are walking back to the car and we asked him what was his favorite part? He said... the monster trucks. Umm.. that was last week buddy. Bless him. He simply loved the monster truck show. </div>

This little guy quickly felt a little too comfortable. He told us all about the buttons and gadgets inside. He called on the radio for several planes coming in and got them to pull right up in front of us. Fulton thought this was one of the coolest days ever. Another day filled with great memories. </div>

We got there a little early and the doors weren't even open yet. Thankfully they were having a spa and pool expo next door so we just walked right on in and warmed up inside. F loved </div>

Yay the doors were open and we were excited to get in. Have I mentioned that this is now mine and Matt's second adventure doing this. We went once before Fulton and I really enjoyed it. Shocker right? Don't knock it until you try it. </div>

We stayed until the very end. Way past our bedtime, but it was totally worth it to watch how much Fulton enjoyed this. He is all boy and loves everything about trucks and dirt and this was right up his alley. Fun memories!!</div>
