You're Going Down

Another Hayley moment we wanted to share:

Background info: We were playing one of Hayley's games the other night- Elefun to be exact
In a competitive tone Jeff says to Hayley: You're going down!
Hayley Replies: I'm going up, you're going down!

:)Made us laugh, hope it did the same for you!

Best Husband Ever

I wanted to write a post just to brag about what a nice husband I have! I of course have a story to give an example of his wonderfulness. Last night I was leaving to go to Mutual (Youth night) and the girls were not the happiest that I was leaving so as I was walking in the garage I heard Jeff tell the girls they could go wave out front. As I was pulling the van out of the garage all I could think of was about the possibility of Kiki running out the door and behind the van. I didn't know if Jeff had experienced her bolting out the door like she does with me. Anyway I was backing up extremely slowly and looking out my side to make she or Hayley didn't come around the corner. As I backed up a little more I saw Jeff standing there with the girls (of course he wouldn't let them run out-good dad!) so I was talking to them and backing up and heard a sound. I thought something must have been in the drive way. Then it occurred to me that I completely neglected to remember to watch the passenger side where our car is parked in the driveway. Oh yes- I scraped the NEW van on our car's side mirror. I had to pull forward and hear the wonderful screeching noise again and of course felt like a complete idiot. Why did it have to be me that put the first scratch on the van? Well, here is finally the part about Jeff. Instead of getting mad at me or yelling at me like any normal husband would do he told me not to worry about and not to let in ruin my evening and waved me off while smiling and holding the girls. I felt horrible for scratching our new van and being a bad driver, but I felt so blessed to have such a sweet husband who cared more about me and my happiness than the new car. I love you Jeff!!!
