Maymie had her first game last night. The team did great. We did not score the first half, but the second half we came alive. We had one little boy that scored all 8 of our points. You would have thought the others had scored how excited they were when he scored. We ended up winning by one point. We have a lot to work on, but all in all they did great:) Maymie got a loose ball and dribbled down the court, but then lost it out of bounds. I was just so excited that she got it and took off dribbling. I love that she picked the number 4!!! Go Tropics!! I will try to get a clip of them playing up soon:)


Little wild Madden! How could 19 months go so fast!

He is definitely my wild one. He LOVES to climb and when I say climb I mean on the side table by the couch, the kitchen table, the Christmas tree-- any and everything that he can get his little leg up on! He keeps me on my toes that is for sure! But I do have to say he is my little lover. He loves to give hugs & kisses and he even pats on your back when he is giving love. Last night when we went to see Leigh he walked in to her room saying EEE and Bubba walks to Mason arms wide and gives him a big bear hug while says ahhhh. Mason stood there like dude what are you doing guys don't hug:) I hope that he stays that way and is always a hugger:) He has gotten use to Maymie going to school. He will still ask wherrrrs Maymie???? He dose not seem as sad when we get home without her. He is still a good eater. He LOVES Mommies cookies!!! He will come to us and say cook cook?? with those sweet eyes how can you say no--even if it is 9:00 in the morning:)
He loves to play with his belly button!

These are some pictures that Maymie took of him... Pretty funny:)
If you could have only herd Maymie telling him no no buddy do not cover up my face!!!

You like my hair don't you Daddy:)

I am so glad that I got the shatterproof ones!!!

How could you ever get mad at this cute face???

I love my little ones!!!

So last night we could hardly wait to see what the tooth fairy would bring???? Well while slept a lot took place. Our Pilgrim friends went up and our snow friends came down! Madden got up at 4:45 this morning-- lovely. I could have gone shopping for a bit before Matt had to go to work:) Instead I was rocking myself to sleep...Madden not so much:) When I got him to go back to sleep at 7:50..Maymie was yelling MOMMY MOMMY she came and look what she brought!!! Two silly bands and a Tink book!!!

A Rabbit and a pink Dino!!!

We read about our special elf Savanna coming back to make sure that we were being good, but Maymie wants to change her name to Julie. So I guess her name is Julie this year! The tooth fairy must have brought him!!

Maymie said look Madden...He looks up and says Ho Ho??She laughed and said no silly it is our elf!


We had a day full of family and food! Thanks to all that worked so hard on all the food! I know that my cookies did not touch half of the hard work that it took to make such wonderful treats!!! We all have so much to be thankful for in our lives. I am so thankful for my family. Thanks for all your love!
Madden could not wait for the cookies to come out of the oven.

Guthrie Family

The most exciting thing that happen to day.... Maymie pulled her tooth!!!

She was such a big girl... She pulled it right out and said look!!
It is like a little door:)

So now we get to use her tooth fairy pillow!!

She is getting so big!!

Wonder what she will leave????


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Audrey Hepburn:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and remembered; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
