2011-11-03T14:23:00.004-06:00

During the many hours of the day that Lucy and I just hang out and play, today we found ourselves by the little window by our front door playing with shoes and I just had to pull out my camera and capture her trying on her first pair of heels!

Maverick & The Polka Dot fairy!

2011-11-01T11:03:00.008-06:00

Had an awesome Halloween this year, Maverick banked on the candy this year! We didn't get to carve pumpkins cuz Im a slacker and didn't go looking for them until the weekend before :( ! We went trick-or-treating with our friends and we had a blast! lucy was miss independent and had to do everything by herself, walking up to each house at her own speed and on her own path,, . Maverick LOVED his costume, "Im Maverick, the pilot" HAHAHA I was impressed on how long he wore his sunglasses why he zoomed from house to house filling up his treat bag!!!

Here is our attempt at finding pumpkins, all the normal size ones were either taken or $30! so we passed!! but hey we had lots of fun!

A peek from the past:

DAY 3: Dinosaurs, parks,best couple EVER and a Birthday Boy!

2011-10-13T06:45:00.015-06:00

Fernbank Museum of natural history:

After we got done at our fun stops during the day we had some extra time to walk around downtown Atlanta and find some parks! Here are alot (sorry) of pictures of us just spendin some time with the fam!

THe Best couple EVER!!! I gotta say My Dad & Tammi and by far one of the BEST couples I know, plus I get to have them as parents!!! They Made this Weekend! MY kids LOVE them, they took the time to play, laugh and get to know them! THey are always making us laugh, they are easy to talk to and so much fun! There are a couple that are meant for each other and I am so glad my Dad married Tammi! Here are a few pictures of them just being them ( Be careful they steal cameras) ;)

This kid is pretty lucky! Not only did her turn 5 ( the magical number if you ask him) but he got to have this BIG awesome birthday weekend with family and he got presents! I must say though my cake did not turn out like the picture AT ALL, LOL! Maverick kept asking me what it was ( a snake FYI) and where was the head? great my snake cupcake plan failed! Go Me! But it did taste normal and thats all that matter. He is so excited to be 5 and he LOVES all his gifts, thank you Dad, Tammi & Ambrie for an awesome weekend, it wasnt long enough! WE LOVE YOU!!

Day two: Georgai Aquarium & World of Coca-Cola!

2011-10-10T11:17:00.018-06:00

DAY 2 !!!

Look us looking at fish HAHA !! This is pretty amazing though, it is the world largest aquarium and contains between 100,000 and 120,000 fish and other sea creatures, representing more than five hundred species. It has six different galleries: Georgia Explorer, Tropical Diver, Ocean Voyager, Cold Water Quest, River Scout, and Dolphin Tales. Each corresponds to a specific environment.

As an added bonus to our entry into the aquarium we got tickets to Quick Dip! its a 20 minute tour behind the scenes of the aquarium. We got to go up top and look down into the tanks and see how everything works and where the divers go into the tanks

The kids loved these hands on petting tanks ( featuring bonnethead sharks and cownose rays) Lucy wanted to just jump on in and join the fishes!

Next stop: World of Coca-Cola!!
This worked out perfectly cause it was right across the street from the aquarium (SWEET!)!

Did I mention that this place has an enitre room just to trying soda! Yup, they have over 60 different soft drinks that you can try, that come from all around the world and of course they have coke! we LOVED it! I have to admit event though I LOVE coke this place was a little over the top and made it sound like coke was a cure for cancer or something! One room was a theater that showed coke comercials from way back and when u get done watching them you feel like coke is some kind of magical drink! LOL

How many pics does it take us to get a group pic right with our 3D glasses on? ( actually about 12 ha ha) also never give my dad a camera to take a group pic he will document the whole thing LOL

While some of us were in the 4D coke movie Dwight and Lucy decided to stroll around and wait, here is a sweet picture of Lucy that dwight took!

Mav was sad for some reason and sweet Ambrie was cheering him up!

At the very end, every guest gets an 8 oz. glass bottle as a gift, well if you know my dad at all you know he went through this line about 3 times to get tonz of bottles that he stashed under MY stroller ( thanx dad hope we dont get caught )! of course in section 3 column b paragraph 4 of the Steve Hansen rule book " he never gets caught" Ha Ha! in this pic it shows papa steve and mav engaging in illegal activites! ha ha

Day One: Zoo Atlanta

2011-10-09T14:43:00.014-06:00

We headed out on day one to the Zoo of Atlanta! it was great, we went on a great day because there was hardly anyone there and plus the weather was great!

Keeper of the map and our official tour guide, he did super i must say! He would say "if we head this way the monkeys will be on our left and the train on our right!"

Just some outstandin pics of some of the crew!

Here's a few pictures of the hundreds i took of us looking at all the cool animals!

gotta love those two minute train rides at the zoo that give you 1.6 seconds to find the animal! Lucy loved the train and was pretty ticked when we made her get off.

Rock wall! another awesome activity the kids enjoyed, actually scratch that an activity Ambrie enjoyed. She LOVED it, she climbed up all the sides about 3 times each. Maverick tried it once and papa steve even suited up to help him, mav only made it about half way up before wanting to head back to the carousel.

the kids loved loved loved the Carousel, plus we got endless rides with the atlants city pass! Maverick rode about 5 times before he got off

Such a great grandpa, my kids just love him to pieces.

Ambrie enjoying the high speed winds of the savannah! LOL.....

had to do a HSM shot! HAHA these two had so much fun together!

group picture outside the zoo!

we're kinda boring!!

2011-10-02T16:41:00.008-06:00

Ok let be honest i havn't had anything exciting to post about or i kinda need to pull my camera out more! so in my sad effort to pull together a post I decided to just pick some random pictures I took over the past week and put them together! SO here we go!

Tree cutting day: Our complex area is full of trees that were in desperate need of pruning, which of course became an awesome activity for Maverick and Lucy and some of the other neighbor kids to watch! It was cute to watch lucy plop her little behind next to maverick and Javi, she thought it was pretty cool being one of the BIG kids!

Maverick found a head light thingy: I really have no idea where he found it, but it entertained him for about an hour. It could switch from a white light to a red one, which in maverick world is TOTALLY WICKED! He went in every dark area of the house to see if the light worked, YEP every time :)! I had to pull out my camera, I just love how his little mind ticks and the things he says. I love you kiddo

Race cars: The only plus the kids and I have found to having no carpet in our house is awesome car games on the floor! We just move the hallway rug and instant fun! Mavericks fav game is to see who can get the car between lucy's legs ( moving target ha ha)!

Time with daddy: Lucy demanded my phone when she saw Dwight on his! It looks like they are both making very important phone calls LOL! we also had the awesome treat of having Dwight ALL day cuz he was on nights! so i put up some pics of him and lucy i took( the B&W ones)

Breakfast at the Gardner house:

Hope you enjoyed! oh had to post this one last pic , dont you just LOVE lucy's face HAHA ( don't touch me brother) she is a firecracker for sure!

practice........ I need more practice

2011-09-24T08:10:00.002-06:00

Gardner family in Georgia!!

2011-09-20T11:59:00.018-06:00

As you can tell this post is backwards my bad! but i hope you enjoy it. We had a blast with the fam, it was great to catch up and just hang out! we love you guys and we can't wait for your next visit!

Callaway Gardnens: This place is super fun and super beautiful! we loved walking around and checking out all the different places!

AIRBORNE! we took his family to watch the airborne students jump and down to the airfield

The Infantry museum!

The cabin: the gardners stayed at a fun little place in Alabama! we loved catching lizards and enjoying the woods!

Is that aunt DESTANIE! He was so excited, We were all so excited to have them here to visit! Maverick was happy to have Destanie next to him again, i can't explain how much he loves that girl!

Waiting......Waiting...........and more waiting! ( He had no idea who we were waiting for)

wanna watch Blue's Clues

2011-08-09T16:45:00.006-06:00

who knew that a blue dog and a man in khaki pants and a green striped shirt would capture my daughters heart!
I guess if i think about it shes been watching it almost since birth, some of it due to lack of choice at first Im sure. when we first moved i wanted to jump on setting up a routine for both kiddos. Dinner, bath @ 730 then one cartoon for Mav, story time then lights out! by the time we got out of the tub got lotion on and in pjs and the tv on Blue Clues was on, and of course that started it all. so i guess almost everynight for a year now we have been watching it before bed! so somewhere between then and now she became hooked and now she requests it all the time, your wondering how does a 14 month old do that, yep she made up her own sign. She puts one hand out flat and uses a finger from the other hand to point. kinda like when steve says put it in your notebook!
anyways my whole point to this is that i took some pictures of here while she was enjoying her fav show!

just chillin

I love this sweet girl!

Extraordinary

2011-08-07T14:51:00.002-06:00

Extraordinary moments can happen in the middle of ordinary days!

* I will spend eternity knowing Maverick & Lucy as adults. But right here right now, and for the next few precious years, i have the rare privilege of knowing them as children!

I love you Maverick & Lucy!

total slacker!!

2011-06-30T14:15:00.010-06:00

Boat loads has happened since my last post, so my goal is to pile it all together in one post to get you up to speed!
Ready.....Set........GO!!!

Easter! I have to say this was a super hard holiday for Dwight and I, we are use to being with family riding dirt bikes and four wheelers and surrounded by family and yummy food. We had none of that this year and it really made us miss home. But we mad the best of it and had a fun little easter with just the kids!! OH i forgot to mention Lucy got super sick the night before and puked all day and for the next 3 days, it was so sad!

Maverick meeting the Easter bunny at the Eggstravaganza!

Maverick had a blast making his MONSTER eggs ( thank you grammy Tammi) he was so proud of himself!

we got Kittens!! Meet Shake & Bake!

We finally watched Dwight jump. This was his 5th or 6th jump here but ive missed them, but hey we finally made it and it was awesome, sometimes i still can't believe that my hubby does this for his job!!!

Maverick graduated from Preschool! He looked so cute in his hat, He was so excited to wear it, "mom, mom I look like High School Musical"! love that kid!

Lucy turned 1 (hurray) and My mom, step dad Dean and Jaxson came to visit! it was a great week. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, went out to lunch, went swimming and had a blast just talking. Were so glad they came out to visit!

Lucy took her first steps! And she never looked back, she never crawled again :)

Deborah Gardner - The Privilege of Motherhood

2011-05-09T06:53:00.001-06:00

Month of the Military child!!

2011-04-17T18:04:00.007-06:00

So this is one of the reason i dig mavericks preschool and his teacher Miss Ina( Maverick LOVES LOVES LOVES his teacher), they always do fun stuff for the kids!
This month besides celebrating Easter it is also the month of military child, so they had all the kids get dressed in red white and blue and they did lots of fun crafts, a parade where they gave all the kids some kind of musical instrument to make noise with and an american flag to wave and a kid comedian guy come entertain the kids!!! super fun day at preschool

Movie under the stars!!

2011-04-17T18:01:00.001-06:00

TANGLED!!

So super fun right, Movie under the stars!! I thought this would be a fun way to enjoy the mild spring they have here and plus Maverick and I LOVE LOVE LOVE movies!!
We invited our friends to come join (Hailey & Ammon)! maverick loves these guys.
We also borrowed my friend Jessica's popcorn bucket and filled it up and the theaters before heading over to the show so we would have LOTS of popcorn to eat!!!

This was an awesome night!!

Lucy meets dirt!!

2011-04-05T12:06:00.005-06:00

ok so i might of broke some rules here by letting my 10 month old crawl around in the dirt, but she LOVED it! She ate almost everything, form dirt to rock and even some roots she found ha ha. Don't worry I didnt actually let her have it in her mouth for to long :)!! she also rubbed some dirt in her hair to top of the day!

We are trying to do something to this sad little yard we have, we have trimmed the bushes that were taking over and made a little flower garden! Mav and I also put together some potted plants to help out too! wish us luck on trying to d-ghetto our yard!!!

take me out to the ball game....take me out to the crowd!!!!

2011-04-04T12:41:00.002-06:00

Maverick very 1st T-ball game!!! he #41 find him the pictures!!!

He LOVES LOVES LOVES playing baseball! He gets so excited when he gets to put on his jersey and special shoes to go play. His Mitt is so little and cute, he can't really catch the ball yet but he is great at chasing it around the field :)! He favorite thing to do is hit the ball, he can actually hit it without the tee which is so great!

Maverick getting ready for his first game!

loves being apart of a team and hangin in the dug out!

Sorry for all the pics, but of course i couldn't help myself :)!! He hit the ball great, he ran around the bases great, and he even scored!!! He is getting so BIG and I can't believe it! They don't keep score at this age which is a good idea ha ha but the kids love it, he was exhausted afterward if you can't tell from the pic in the car LOL, we also moved him into a booster seat so he has to find creative ways to sleep now, it cracks me up to turn around to see him sleeping that way! i hope you enjoyed all the pics!! GO MAVERICK

soccer season has begun!!

2011-03-26T14:29:00.001-06:00

Soccer season has started here on Fort benning and that means awesome nights out to go watch daddy play! Dwight LOVES soccer and he is awesome on the field! Maverick doesn't really watch the games for long he's usually busy playing on the bleachers or making friends! Lucy is always a trooper and just enjoys watching the game and clapping when she hears everyone cheering! we are loving this time of year before the heat really sets in!

Local Critters!!!

2011-03-26T14:26:00.001-06:00

Maverick and I went outside in the back yard to finally plant the strawberry plants we bought and we found a friend!! It took Dwight and Maverick a minute to catch him with him jumpin and runnin around, but they got him :) and of course played with him for a while before letting him go! Maverick was a little sad but we told him we could try to find him another day and that he would help eat all the bugs in the strawberry garden ( hopefully not the strawberries :S)

nature walk :)

2011-02-05T16:38:00.006-07:00

On the weekends we are usually bored and want to get out of the house so we always get ready and head to our trail that we found a few blocks from our house, its actually a fitness trail for runners but it works perfect for our family walks :)

Maverick ready to go with his camel pack! he loves our family walks!

Lucy loves these walks as well, she just hangs out and watches the trees pass by! she is my sweet girl, how can you not LOVE that face!!!

He is my hero!! Maverick talking his dads ear off. He is the boy with a million questions, good thing dad knows everything ;)
this is one of my favorite pics!

Here are few more pics of just one more of adventures here in Georgia! were are enjoying the cool winter months, because before we know it the intense summer heat will be here and our walks will be done and the swimming pool will be our best friend :)!

I turned my back for one sec and CRASH, all 40 cookies or so land on my kitchen floor :( the sadness, but i couldn't help but laugh and of course run and get my camera to capture this moment, oh my sweet lucy you are getting so big, one day you can have a cookie i promise :)!!

Lucy's Blessing!!

2010-12-28T16:50:00.001-07:00

f="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5onrCKrMalI/TRpy9sFUCwI/AAAAAAAABcA/lrC81HIpgdc/s1600/IMG_0850.JPG">

Better late then never i suppose was our moto here! It was Saturday night when the Gardner women were dong what they do best sitting in the living chatting when we had the grand idea of blessing my sweet Lucy the next day, I mean why not everyone was there that needed to be and Dwight and I had been total slackers in not blessing our daughter so it was a great idea a little last minute but hey why not. So the plan went into action, I called my family and my mother-in-law Jayline did what she did best and planned something for dinner for 20 something people who would join us in less then 24 hours! The next day My hubby blessed our sweet Lucy and it was amazing GO DWIGHT!!

Love this picture of them! I was so happy that My husband was able to bless her and with both our families there! Great day!

My daughter has developed a funny personality and she is a bit of a drama queen! I can only guess what shes thinking her, Uh dad no kisses for you i mean ewww gross! LOL

Our family pic to end! this was an unexpected event but it was great to have it done! Thank you to My sister also for lending me Dakota's blessing dress, now both our kids have been blessed in the same outfits which i think is super cool!

My day in a nut shell!!

2010-08-05T06:20:00.001-06:00

HOLY SHENANS!! is all i can say about my day today! It started out with waking up super flippin early to take Dwight to work so I could have the car. Our first stop was the hospital to get a pregnancy test....now before you start freaking out and calling me please read on........I needed the test so i can get on birth control. i think its kinda rude to do that to a women who has a two month old, like I need the stress on wondering CRAP am i pregnant, no im not pregnant...well maybe.. no defiantly not pregnant!!
anyways we enter the hospital find our way back to our window to check in and they send me to another window to check in. I then explain to the front desk lady that I'm here to get a prego test done so i can get the shot, she says ok please take this paper and s wait over there, so i head over to the seat where i will spend the next 30 minutes waiting for my name to be called, and yet i dont ever here it, so i wait some more (still not name called) Ok so now im pissed because now 5 people have gone ahead of me and nothin, so i go once again to the front desk to ask how much longer, the lady looks at me and asks for my last name again and says whats your sons name, The PREGNANCY test is for me (not my three year old son, who better not be havin sex and the fact that he is male and 3 yrs old ). OH she says well i can' t give you the results to that, thats funny i say because i havn't taken the test yet, OH she says again, well your gonna have to go to the lab for that. I almost reached across that mini table and strangled the women, but instead i thanked her through my clenched teeth and headed to lab, where i again I wait, this time my sweet maverick decides to bounce off the walls and and some times actually bang his head against it. After about 20 minutes or so i look up and YES my number is next and then I hear those awesome words MOM I NEED TO PEE, nooooo, " can you hold it son" no i need to pee now ( i swear they wait till its basically coming out) alright alright lets go. so we wrap speed it to the bathroom run back and yay we made it. I got back get my blood taken and run out of that buliding as fast as i can! Dont you worry i still have the grocery to go to ( an adventure all on its own with a three old who touches everything and a nursing baby), where i have 20 minutes to buy as much as i can till i have to pick dwight up for lunch then go back to the hospital for my results ( which when i went back were still pending) then back to the grocery store to buy what i didn't have time to buy the first time. LOVE IT!!! I guess its round 3 for the hospital tomorrow!!

And that was my vent session thank you and goodnight :)

Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will. --Author Unknown.

one birthday and one hospital visit!

2010-01-07T15:17:00.003-07:00

This week has extra busy and also extra boring at points. Our week started off great when we went to church with my mom and step dad, my mother gave an amazing lesson on temples in relief society and my son went to primary for the first time, i still can't believe Maverick is a sunbeam! He loved singing the songs and listening to the lesson. I was also touched that day by an army wife that gave her testimony about how she just sent her husband to Iraq last week, she talked about how she feels comforted with the fact that no matter what happens she will always be with him forever, I really enjoyed it and enjoyed church!!
Also this week maverick has been complaining about his ears and coughing really bad so I made an appointment, come to find out her had double ear infections, big shocker there, maverick has gotten an ear infection every month since his tubes fell out :(!
But the doc, said nothing about his coughing hmmm. well the next day his cough got worse and was he was actually starting to wheez ( sorry about my awesome spelling) , he was coughing all day and was throwing up his food, my aunt noticed how bad it was and said i should got to primary's to get him checked out, so when i heard that my mom and I jumped in the car and headed down. The doc. there said it was bad and they had to give him a steroid to bring down the swelling and they gave a breathing treatment that lasted an hour , thank goodness for the movies and toys for him to play with :) ! We also enjoyed the amazing cafeteria food that is also very cheap! They also think that maverick has asthma and that i need to take him to a specialist. They sent me home with an inhaler and steroid medicine! Maverick is doing much better now! He does great with his inhaler, everytime he does it we let him put a sticker on it!
On to the birthday update! My birthday was great, My mom and step dad took me out to dinner and my aunt danielle joined us, we went to chili's YUM-O and then the girls went to a flick, we went to It's Complicated, meryl streep is in it, at first i thought this is gonna be a stupid show but i was so wrong, i think we were the loudest people in the theater, we were laughing and crying and screaming, it was the best ever!! I needed a good laugh! Also the best news of the whole day, my hubby called me, i started crying the second i heard his voice! it was so great to have him call me on my birthday, i mean what more could i have asked for, that was the best 3 min. converstaion ever, PLUS he got to call me today as well WOOT WOOT I am such a lucky girl. to top off the first half of the week as well my mom and dad bought me tonz of new maternity clothes, I love all of them too!

I hope everyone is having a great week as well, tomorrow i get to find out what were having!

Maverick's resolution!!!

2010-01-02T18:19:00.004-07:00

This was a big moment in our small family, Maverick is off the soft sippy. Dwight and I decided that he need to finally say goodbye to them, so we told mav is was time to be a big boy and get new sippies. so we gathered up all of them and had him throw them all away and say goodbye then we took him to wal-mart and let him pick out three new ones!! I was so proud of him and he is doing great, no fuss at all so far! GO MAVERICK! we love our big boy!

Early Birthday date night!!!

2009-12-30T15:18:00.004-07:00

Dwight and I decided to celebrate my birthday a week early since he wont be here on my actually birthday :( . My wonderful husband took me out to dinner and a movie and we a had a great time. We went to wingers for dinner and had our usual meals and then we headed off to the movie theaters to watch Sherlock Holmes! It was a great show we give it 5 stars, this show ill have to watch again because of the all the mystery and fast talking conversation that i didn't understand what was being said. :) I might just have to rent it so i can rewind it, and that means i can actual take a pee break, being prego and watching a two hour movie is not good on the bladder, i hate missing any part of the show at all so i held it the whole time.
Dwight also thinks im crazy because i can't miss any of the previews either, if we show up in the middle i dont like to go in at all, im so weird i know! its either 15 minutes or wait till the next showing ha ha!!!
I had a blast thanks baby!!! I love you and i will miss you so much!

Dear John

2009-12-02T17:21:00.003-07:00

An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart. But 9/11 changes everything. John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read...and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.

I loved this book, but it is very sad, be prepared for a heart breaker!!!

The Hunger Games

2009-11-27T16:48:00.005-07:00

It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

I am just a few pages away from finishing a really great book series!!! The Hunger Games(book1) and Catching Fire(book two)!!! They are both great books, they are at walmart and i think everyone should go pick up a copy of each!!!!

Thanksgiving UGH!!!

2009-11-11T15:15:00.003-07:00

Ok so is that weird that I totally hate Thanksgiving, i think i might even hate November as well and this year is not helping me. But since everyone is making there " I Thankful list" i guess i will join!!! Maybe this will help me love this time of year!

1. Dwight: I'm first thankful for my sexy,sweet,loving, amazing husband that i miss soooo much. I am so lucky to have him in my life!!
2. Maverick: I love my little stinker, he keeps me busy and laughing and i thank him for that!!! He is my little buddy and without him i would be even more lonely!! I love his smile and all his funny stories he tells me, i love that he is always telling me " I wuv you mom" , "i miss you mom"!!!
3. My Family: I'm super thankful for my family, they are always there for me, My sister is my best friend, My mom is my shoulder to cry on, My brother is the one who always makes me laugh until my side hurts and my dad is always there for some great advice,a great get away and soda thirty!!!
4. Sunday!! I love sundays because Dwight gets to call me. By sunday i'm super stressed out, but the second i hear his voice everything is alright again and i can make it through another week.
5. Great Books & Movies: I love a great book/movie that i can lose myself in! i love that there is something out there that can help me relax and take my mind off reality for a few hours!!

I love this song!!

2009-11-09T09:46:00.004-07:00

This song makes me think of my awesome, sweet, amazing husband that i miss so much it hurts!! Today he called me just for a few seconds to tell me he loves me!! I love you Dwight Gardner!!! ( I couldn't find the video so here are the lyrics!!)

Sweet Dreams!! By: Beyonce

Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you're my temporary high

I wish that when I wake up you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by side

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Tattoo your name across my heart so it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you

He showed them off to everybody inside, dwight took his backpack off and hung it up and mav headed straight for the toys, so i'm thinking great this is going to go super, HA, i leaned down and said k i love you have a great time and dwight hugged him goodbye and then the freak out happened, it was just super and the teacher said to just go so i waved goodbye and we left. Dwight and i were kinda laughing as we left because that is our maverick mr. emotional!!! well 3 hours later we returned to a happy maverick telling us all about his day and how he learned about the letter T and painted a school bus picture. cross your finger that thursday goes just as well.

Dwight & I went for a motorcycle ride to zion today and the weather was awesome and we had lots of fun. since we are totally not the hiking type we went to a 3D movie and the huge theatre there and it was cool. We ate lunch at a yummy burger place and saw huge elk that was behind the place, lets just day Dwight was in heaven, he almost jumped over the fence and shot them ha ha j/k. most of these pictures are when we are actually driving it was really fun and i loved spending the day with my hubby. Hope you dig the pics!!!
