So school has been back in session for a month now, both of my girlies are in school now. I have had the opportunity to be a Stay-at-Home Mommy for the past 4 years, my only complaint- home without a car!! So now I am going to be a Work-at-Home Mommy!!! I think it is very important to be home for my girls and I am lucky enough to have 2 opportunities that allow me to do so. Being a Massage Therapist is wonderful because I can work while my girls are in school and my Mary Kay business also offers this flexibility. I am also blessed with a husband that feels that staying home for our girls is NECESSARY and works very hard to allow me to do this!<br /><br />So a lot of things have changed this month. Megan started 3rd grade this year and LOVES it!!! (well, everything except math) She was chosen for Chorus and is excited to try out for a few parts in their Christmas show. Maya is in VPK and LOVES her teacher Ms. Leigh Ann!!! So yes, I am actually home ALONE for the 1st time in a long time. The 1st day of school the house was eerily quiet, but it's been nice. Don't get me wrong, I miss my girls, especially my Doodlebug, but I think I appreciate them a little more because they are not with me ALL day!!! So, because I have to take Maya to school and I want to start working a bit, we purchased a car!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!! So, if anyone needs a massage or a facial and makeover, CALL ME!!!!!! <br /><br />I will post pics of the girls soon as well as our newest Padgett Family Pic soon! Megan's hair has grown a lot and Maya's has too!!

We went to Alabama this weekend for Marc's uncle's wedding. Paul is only 3-4years older than Marc and I and is his mom's baby brother. We were grateful to be able to witness Paul and Tricia pledging their love and lives to each other. The ceremony was beautiful and the bride was GORGEOUS and the groom was HANDSOME!! The reception was at a beautiful southern mansion and was loads of fun!! Marc and I danced and laughed and so did the girls!!! Here are some pics of the beautiful day!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENFkW-IstgjJY_NDPuB40ONhKqD9wbQWsa1lU93Zem4g6uvbU2ZCxMMUENMCwLaNG14ZA03FnOxlgtLlk9F5xwRc4mGYghSPqUW03TOmVtsI3u2RLPTN9SYYarMFPQrET6Nu07npLeg/s1600/camera+pics+543.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469792564726652770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENFkW-IstgjJY_NDPuB40ONhKqD9wbQWsa1lU93Zem4g6uvbU2ZCxMMUENMCwLaNG14ZA03FnOxlgtLlk9F5xwRc4mGYghSPqUW03TOmVtsI3u2RLPTN9SYYarMFPQrET6Nu07npLeg/s320/camera+pics+543.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The bride and groom :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4seOQ3qsg-cdOhh4I-PjlM98n4p7cb0OoRo7m04LWMIjsegVA7I1zYXHaWpzLrEILYsEwvQondoxxTTqexjH3M0pF8r0hBOFqM1U_6-DMlpbihkO3lzmf7wDGOddBo8mcwZ_yFJKCnQ/s1600/camera+pics+519.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469797256089297010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4seOQ3qsg-cdOhh4I-PjlM98n4p7cb0OoRo7m04LWMIjsegVA7I1zYXHaWpzLrEILYsEwvQondoxxTTqexjH3M0pF8r0hBOFqM1U_6-DMlpbihkO3lzmf7wDGOddBo8mcwZ_yFJKCnQ/s320/camera+pics+519.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Nana Britt and Paul.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5JHBWgopKsRcOcHARer3JXmvMS8n4vZv812PQzSr9zgFH6Zvi8IDnLBpL2TrMbLDkuxwBIqkvDsz3pPiLVXqq5d7To7A6N4VeGpWlJN2AHv2YJ8kOCGZ3jh_qMV7uQRIxZl2yXFZhw/s1600/camera+pics+535.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 242px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469793395500735602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5JHBWgopKsRcOcHARer3JXmvMS8n4vZv812PQzSr9zgFH6Zvi8IDnLBpL2TrMbLDkuxwBIqkvDsz3pPiLVXqq5d7To7A6N4VeGpWlJN2AHv2YJ8kOCGZ3jh_qMV7uQRIxZl2yXFZhw/s320/camera+pics+535.jpg" /></a><br />My Princess and Doodlebug!!( Please ignore the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">tatt</span>.</span>)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGrOUlocmRhyluW41iP5nM30IXqfbj_UryYhXSKUEUFMSzhVZBPAP6VSL0qUHRW8ZzgDZr7EDcwVYt5rANzPrAr9cp6X1cGCuwMtKloRwpN9RVTh2oTutwuHj3B6JJXNthQP7oRQpsQ/s1600/camera+pics+540.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469794033221816546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGrOUlocmRhyluW41iP5nM30IXqfbj_UryYhXSKUEUFMSzhVZBPAP6VSL0qUHRW8ZzgDZr7EDcwVYt5rANzPrAr9cp6X1cGCuwMtKloRwpN9RVTh2oTutwuHj3B6JJXNthQP7oRQpsQ/s320/camera+pics+540.jpg" /></a><br />Marc and Mom.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOo65fUKJU3TBEjLHg9cMaamXozW8RHoYPBimgYCqjUaGWMh0FkEjOXHm-KJSRCcVWEi-ZP8hZ4UGMeGZKfDgDLrMRf3yiEabRpIBltcvKonO4jiVylw-dAmVqyxU8h3jvuwlIWTG03w/s1600/camera+pics+547.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469794965518571682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOo65fUKJU3TBEjLHg9cMaamXozW8RHoYPBimgYCqjUaGWMh0FkEjOXHm-KJSRCcVWEi-ZP8hZ4UGMeGZKfDgDLrMRf3yiEabRpIBltcvKonO4jiVylw-dAmVqyxU8h3jvuwlIWTG03w/s320/camera+pics+547.jpg" /></a><br />Nana Britt and Maya!

She has been looking forward to this day since she turned 7!! It was a family affair to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">remember</span>. Her Papa happens to be the Bishop so he conducted and presided. Her Nana gave the opening prayer. Sister <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kiser</span> was our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pianist</span> and Megan loves her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">SO</span> much!!

Her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Daddy</span> performed the Baptismal Ordinance while her Papa and Big Papa stood as witnesses. Her beautiful cousins sang "I Am a Child of God" and her Uncle Brad spoke to HER about the Gift of the Holy Ghost! Her cousin Elma gave the closing prayer and then we had the yummy cupcakes that Megan and her cousin A made all by themselves. (maybe a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">little</span> help from Mimi). A special thanks to her Mimi who helped me put together the programs and make the refreshments, I would've gone crazy that day if she hadn't helped.

There is NO <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sarcasm</span> in this at all, I truly LOVE going to Girls Camp with these AMAZING Young Women!!! This is my 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> year attending and I hope I never get released!!! I was so proud of our girls, they were wonderful representatives of our ward and the gospel!! The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">YCL's</span> were great examples and served the other girls as the Savior would have. I was also lucky enough to have my wonderful mother-in-law as my assistant. Now, she has done her share of camping (8 years actually) and it's not her favorite thing to do, but she was a trooper and the girls really enjoyed having her there!!! Another thing that I think the young women really enjoyed was having their Bishop there all week!!! They enjoyed getting to know him and spending time with him! I believe they gained great love and appreciation for him that week!</div><div><br />Another reason that I LOVE Girls Camp is the fact that I get to spend an entire week with my nieces Reina, Elma and now Laura Linda. I love these girls like they were my own and even though I know there mother misses them <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">a lot</span>, I'm glad to spend time with them and watch the gospel touch them while they are having fun, learning and serving!</div><div><br />There were a lot of cool things at camp this year: horseback riding (Joy was a nice horsey), archery, rifle shooting, crafts, chores, path building and much more!! We were fortunate to hear from our Stake President and Pres. Jensen the things that the youth needs to hear and some of us adults also. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>There is so much pressure on our youth today and I think that a week at Girls Camp away from the world and all the noise helps put into perspective for them and us that we need some quiet in our lives to feel the Spirit and get direction in our lives. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I had to learn from these young women and for the love and respect that I gain for them year after year!</div></div></div></div></div></div>Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-29396394954094051182010-02-03T20:35:00.003-05:002010-02-03T21:07:32.243-05:00WE'RE BACK!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFVOM5ADxvUoDh92PT_j5KlTJwsr-SQPWNR04bNbEZD3wIBlAaJgLKnNM7XWXHs341cyCYxB21yBalROYNACeVEzZ3ouFUinh-zrw-XnBrISYiJ79X9HfB8F-KpkCzMlDS3rOg6aPNA/s1600-h/075.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434200460589342066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFVOM5ADxvUoDh92PT_j5KlTJwsr-SQPWNR04bNbEZD3wIBlAaJgLKnNM7XWXHs341cyCYxB21yBalROYNACeVEzZ3ouFUinh-zrw-XnBrISYiJ79X9HfB8F-KpkCzMlDS3rOg6aPNA/s320/075.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4dL3gUjnbUvUJrTHEIc27p_W9aFWcdeCUW9GsouAe6X2EFzpw_EfgTn6_Hmn9eZDTGDAyyjWWxba83OkEuF8yz5Xb719jDEfBTkTC1zsRMr-neVe9xVtrYyUOE4zpr2Q-d6c-Rfo4Q/s1600-h/070.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434196043070937330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4dL3gUjnbUvUJrTHEIc27p_W9aFWcdeCUW9GsouAe6X2EFzpw_EfgTn6_Hmn9eZDTGDAyyjWWxba83OkEuF8yz5Xb719jDEfBTkTC1zsRMr-neVe9xVtrYyUOE4zpr2Q-d6c-Rfo4Q/s320/070.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKM178iu0lPkqtfRk_BZZO4txLw4kp2iuQRqr2J2OrV0Aumu6Siroj0GjIg1YDA7awAyymvdnpMoJEFCdHbB6tXw758C5Qgjqhz2BUqiu3pJLsZIwlz9g73cQ-F1-5XAi51NPjTo4v1w/s1600-h/073.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434196052702396706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKM178iu0lPkqtfRk_BZZO4txLw4kp2iuQRqr2J2OrV0Aumu6Siroj0GjIg1YDA7awAyymvdnpMoJEFCdHbB6tXw758C5Qgjqhz2BUqiu3pJLsZIwlz9g73cQ-F1-5XAi51NPjTo4v1w/s320/073.JPG" border="0" /></a> Well, I know it has been a long time but I figured it was time to update! <div></div><div> </div><div>I'm sure you are all wondering why my Doodlebug is dressed like this and wearing make-up.......... Today was Wacky Wednesday at her school, so we fixed her hair "wacky" and dressed her up in a skirt (with black pants underneath)her rainbow converse and a little bit of make-up! She's a little camera shy as you can see, J/K! She was even wackier looking when she got home from school, I should've taken a picture of that. Anna Banana also got all dressed up today, they are SO cute!!</div></div><div> </div><div>So we are doing well here in the Padgett home. Megan is an awesome 2nd Grader and is doing so well at school! She will be 8 in April (I can't believe that!) and is looking forward to being baptized! Maya is turning 4 in June and has quite a personality! She is attending a Montessori school and loves it!! She gets to go with her BF Anna and they have fun together (most of the time). Marc started a lawn business with a couple of neighbors, MJM Landscaping, so if you need some work done please let us know. He is also working at Mercedes Homes (again, I say again because he was laid off April of last year and was unemployed for most of the year) part-time, he was re-hired at the beginning of November and we are grateful for some steady income coming in. I am still at home with my girls and my surrogate kids Matthew and Anna. I am also working on building my Mary Kay business, so if you or someone you know wants to make extra money or just be pampered please let me know, I would be happy to help them out!!</div><div> </div><div>Marc and I received new callings this year. I am in charge of the Ward Bulletin and I am also the Sharing Time Specialist in Primary. My wonderful husband is the Young Men's President and he is is doing an amazing job! I am SO proud of him and the great example he is to them and our children!! Oh, I am also the Ward Camp Leader for the 4th year I think, I LOVE IT!!!</div><div> </div><div>So things were rough, but they aren't so bad anymore and we have faith that they will get better! </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div>Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-28725254449560997542009-04-06T15:45:00.002-04:002009-04-20T15:55:31.051-04:00SHE'S HOW OLD?Megan turned 7 during Spring Break!! Can you believe it?!! I can't! We had plans to go to Disney, the Magic Kingdom, but those plans changed. Auntie Melanie and Uncle Charlie set it up and we were very greatful, unfortunately, it didn't happen like we planned. It was a windy yucky day and we ended up coming home and eating pizza and spending 3 hours at Chuck E. Cheese's instead. She had fun! She got to bring her friend Tanner and Maya got to bring Anna Banana. Even though it didn't come off as planned it was a good day!! I was also very impressed how my hubby kept his cool throughout all the stumbling blocks of the day.

I have been a little preoccupied with a few things. First and foremost, my Mommy had a stroke on Jan.2 and was in the hospital and rehab for a few weeks. She is currently at my house and I'm taking care of her. She is doing better but will have to have surgery in the next couple of weeks. I've been a bit stressed and haven't felt like myself. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things, but I feel like I have too much to do and not enough time or even the desire to get it all done. Anyway, besides that, the girls are doing well. Megan is reading better and better everyday and Maya is as sassy as ever. Marc and I are working on our home-based businesses so we don't have to worry about the economy so much. Unfortunately. right now it's hard not to worry. So that is what is going on at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Padgetts</span>.

We had a wonderful time last night, the girls almost made it till midnight, but not quite. I also have a retraction to make, Marc does not ALWAYS fall asleep at my aunt's house, he stayed up all evening, we were so proud of him! So, we ate, played games and set off fireworks. I have some cute clips and photos of last night. Maya and Ivan were not very fond of the fireworks at first. But they eventually realized that it was just noise and that the pretty lights were cool. So here are some pics. Hope every has a WONDERFUL 2009 filled with love and great memories!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8Vv2w0467DZi45An5V-ehrJKHjYM9beleLzPdXsOiOelcyTa31TTKKIxEONZ8qZ6-biy06n-i_zWXF8fRmYFRkPxAmNp8maDwVsbbOUYYBb3JuGepc64W1dChYJ0uBH9Bkbl_OvIKw/s1600-h/New+Year%27s+2009+053.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8Vv2w0467DZi45An5V-ehrJKHjYM9beleLzPdXsOiOelcyTa31TTKKIxEONZ8qZ6-biy06n-i_zWXF8fRmYFRkPxAmNp8maDwVsbbOUYYBb3JuGepc64W1dChYJ0uBH9Bkbl_OvIKw/s200/New+Year%27s+2009+053.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286385679049282482" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TqvVKUQXmmz3nfmyeuyMnjoPJLaqio1nt-xzO2_Ixn-vobTMz2zuH4kcDJuLmfQThCL-6c0FFHjCv10o3ourIEQPEYJbC9yGz_W5fOP8kJvPINMcSfg42OKBGIr68zURajLyC9NusQ/s1600-h/New+Year%27s+2009+035.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TqvVKUQXmmz3nfmyeuyMnjoPJLaqio1nt-xzO2_Ixn-vobTMz2zuH4kcDJuLmfQThCL-6c0FFHjCv10o3ourIEQPEYJbC9yGz_W5fOP8kJvPINMcSfg42OKBGIr68zURajLyC9NusQ/s200/New+Year%27s+2009+035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286386047474487490" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAEBiPJopvrY188yIKJyfNejdpSegWFuJxM1JfC887_XN4eojfo8MkTaG-wxOPx6z88wWvbSPx8XBB6qLiBjZfg6p4VUvWHKWAcb277kAEasGbWkS-mRjeZM3DOZYFfpJk0HhYLp4TQ/s1600-h/New+Year%27s+2009+002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAEBiPJopvrY188yIKJyfNejdpSegWFuJxM1JfC887_XN4eojfo8MkTaG-wxOPx6z88wWvbSPx8XBB6qLiBjZfg6p4VUvWHKWAcb277kAEasGbWkS-mRjeZM3DOZYFfpJk0HhYLp4TQ/s200/New+Year%27s+2009+002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286383991710846722" border="0" /></a></div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhJTKmSFhq1WCfyfuZpWdvHCSoUthqsSfQ3_qg6DgB26WANsyTLtNBcOn3VM0MOAcgI1dfDdhjIZxc1mZNO0KZYj_HRWxulVP6paV8yf3DEjSEVZrOsStOpTwKHIhxSQfdO-FQ74pwg/s1600-h/New+Year%27s+2009+008.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhJTKmSFhq1WCfyfuZpWdvHCSoUthqsSfQ3_qg6DgB26WANsyTLtNBcOn3VM0MOAcgI1dfDdhjIZxc1mZNO0KZYj_HRWxulVP6paV8yf3DEjSEVZrOsStOpTwKHIhxSQfdO-FQ74pwg/s200/New+Year%27s+2009+008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286385326642119250" border="0" /></a>Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-5850793710491619732008-12-31T12:59:00.024-05:002009-01-01T12:26:47.665-05:00CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxz2UJu8J0VdomvWcVOuxyqWPsj45d_z6ssyjbII3mYMcQFmAZr2GLv95_5NFIG7baxw--guUlc00NLR6SEng' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzLXKgeAjlHaCTmEqD6wNROq5vBr3KZ5M2Sqd4BxeFbA8c2LZL9loTvZIpPSZdi69gSFYzG3LLoCQYMMrtFaQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Well, we are very lucky because we get to celebrate 3 Christmases. We celebrated in Naples on Christmas Eve with my Dad <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Rigo</span> and my Mom Maria. We picked Megan up because she spent 4 whole days with her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Wuelo</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wuela</span>. She got to go to the movies and had marshmallow roasts, got new earrings and basically got spoiled all week. There was a party at my aunt's house that we went to. The girls got to open 1 present before we came home (the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">jammies</span> they are wearing in the video) and the rest had to wait for Christmas Day. We had a long drive ahead of us and got home at 12:30. The girls did sleep in a little, but unfortunately we were not able to. We had treats and taters to get ready for the day. So the girls opened their presents up and had <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">soo</span> much fun. They were very glad that Santa liked his cookies and ate them all gone and drank all of his Rice milk. You see, Santa is lactose intolerant (according to Megan) so we made him vegan sugar cookies and gave him Rice milk.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzl_GwykNx4ZRBrjezirju72Jb2zG59K-4x_a8WK5JsQ6CnHiNeSeEjKg8NsOGqNxxKDDV6alWUmyvgv5gFsVhAGWFrKeh_CliJiXR6ZWbBBvWwuNBSb8QD-jfXMEh9gbWcTcXuKunQ/s1600-h/December+2008+096.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzl_GwykNx4ZRBrjezirju72Jb2zG59K-4x_a8WK5JsQ6CnHiNeSeEjKg8NsOGqNxxKDDV6alWUmyvgv5gFsVhAGWFrKeh_CliJiXR6ZWbBBvWwuNBSb8QD-jfXMEh9gbWcTcXuKunQ/s200/December+2008+096.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286191148166445698" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8HZf0sxASlvC6xbcgTUVOqGcFSgyglO6jrlAJWgSevajT8gLHP4Hl1xJw10-fz4tZFh_ML2i4-72QWEo61FrlkhTH3iDDifPhW8u4LTAgYaMvAo0z-A7ivG-yLES1ynpS5MqAVzgnw/s1600-h/December+2008+100.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8HZf0sxASlvC6xbcgTUVOqGcFSgyglO6jrlAJWgSevajT8gLHP4Hl1xJw10-fz4tZFh_ML2i4-72QWEo61FrlkhTH3iDDifPhW8u4LTAgYaMvAo0z-A7ivG-yLES1ynpS5MqAVzgnw/s200/December+2008+100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286191660300113090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-O7se8FGf6ZmOWWnPD90Wn5XaejEh0E5la-hlj4Q4Rc-0ZVvdObquKOTPSO2pNPjJuc2GdiVHz3QhEZwhM5JcylWKV-BMZCnaCwaGfpJpC5LLoL_iDCHyd2uk_c2UaScyRUR8uCyJ9Q/s1600-h/December+2008+098.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-O7se8FGf6ZmOWWnPD90Wn5XaejEh0E5la-hlj4Q4Rc-0ZVvdObquKOTPSO2pNPjJuc2GdiVHz3QhEZwhM5JcylWKV-BMZCnaCwaGfpJpC5LLoL_iDCHyd2uk_c2UaScyRUR8uCyJ9Q/s200/December+2008+098.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286192131552738050" border="0" /></a></div><br />We then went to my Aunt Delia's house, where we opened more presents. The kids had a blast with all the gifts, so did the BIG kids. Marc got his traditional nap on the couch, it happens every time he's at my aunt's house. The guy with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Wii</span> is my cousin Gloria's fiancee Ramon. My cousin Adolfo got that for THE WHOLE FAMILY, but Ramon thinks it's just for him. Adolfo was my girls Santa Claus this year. We didn't get the girls much this year for 2 reasons, #1 because we really couldn't and #2 because we want them to know the REAL meaning of Christmas. However, we were quite spoiled this year. Adolfo got Megan that Nintendo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">DS</span> that she has been dying to get all year, he got Maya a tricycle complete with helmet and knee pads. They got clothes, digital camera, beautiful dolls, gift cards, toys, candies and other stuff. They had an AMAZING Christmas thanks to all of the wonderful people in our lives. Thanks to Big <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Mamma</span> & Big Papa, Nana & Papa, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Wuelo</span> & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Wuela</span>, Tia Delia, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Meli</span>, Gloria, Fonzie & Patty, Monica & Kike, Gloria & Ramon, Tia Dalia & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Tio</span> Paco, Adolfo, Nana Britt, Grandad Henry, Hank & Linda, Peggy & David, Paul and anyone else i may have forgotten!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ0tQELJNFElYgUjO-UcYt6yXRSIqsZ81-ATtXhJs8alMIpXZfsixM-PQpvji3Fhb5pGSnV0M88AB3PlA7KD7WudJA3MOppIgBOCoPE_yw02tsxIaR9ZtsPLJG6WNLVsDCZlbT-s2pA/s1600-h/December+2008+109.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ0tQELJNFElYgUjO-UcYt6yXRSIqsZ81-ATtXhJs8alMIpXZfsixM-PQpvji3Fhb5pGSnV0M88AB3PlA7KD7WudJA3MOppIgBOCoPE_yw02tsxIaR9ZtsPLJG6WNLVsDCZlbT-s2pA/s320/December+2008+109.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286374019807187314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdTVzXwDHdmf8u5Po0xMq1FTfLr10pjHl2bgHlnUTJxTFcek68hIsGMZeS20yCyG8A3_FM1VAZem_uCf3jWGA8slczptYGQvVwBOgVxGheL-NZ0Vfb3eaHd-P5U7hy-fT9jJpI0xtcQ/s1600-h/December+2008+110.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdTVzXwDHdmf8u5Po0xMq1FTfLr10pjHl2bgHlnUTJxTFcek68hIsGMZeS20yCyG8A3_FM1VAZem_uCf3jWGA8slczptYGQvVwBOgVxGheL-NZ0Vfb3eaHd-P5U7hy-fT9jJpI0xtcQ/s320/December+2008+110.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286374513215599618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then it was off to Mom & Dad Padgett's for Christmas dinner. Check out the band aid on Maya's noggin. She had a rough evening, she ran into the sliding glass doors 3 times, yes I said 3 times. Poor thing, but her Aunt "Piggy" took care of her and she forgot all about it when it was time to open the presents. That's the baby she got from Grandad Henry. The got all sorts of things, I think Maya really enjoyed the chocolate that she got. The other picture is Dad tickling the heck out of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Janae</span>, it looked like she was having seizures, it was HILARIOUS!!! Peggy made some delicious peanut butter balls, Mom's dressing was wonderful as always and Maria's carrot cake muffins were amazing!!! We all had a great time, and before we opened up presents Dad read us the Christmas story from the scriptures to remind us what we are really celebrating. It was a wonderful Christmas this year, not because I got some new clothes or awesome make-up I really wanted, but because I got to spend it with family members that I love and appreciate in my life. That was the best part of Christmas, chatting and laughing with my cousins and watching my girls have fun and laugh with their cousins. The greatest we got this year was memories and lots of love!!Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-35604602123806989762008-12-31T12:22:00.003-05:002008-12-31T12:59:00.792-05:00HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME (and MARC)!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRO124z9aIyCa_OBga-sCKX54bLCcLMeTgiqCrE4-SPWmzccPoD73eS-cAOTTWmzB8gPq-Yzz4n7fwWZ4Q_bSJDs2dcg7oonGbfGWDYVPue4b6tgFcdxVvSECCNPTkLrr8TjmJwG-lhQ/s1600-h/December+2008+125.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRO124z9aIyCa_OBga-sCKX54bLCcLMeTgiqCrE4-SPWmzccPoD73eS-cAOTTWmzB8gPq-Yzz4n7fwWZ4Q_bSJDs2dcg7oonGbfGWDYVPue4b6tgFcdxVvSECCNPTkLrr8TjmJwG-lhQ/s320/December+2008+125.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286014479319207762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On December 22<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span> Marc and I celebrated our 8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> Anniversary!!! I can't believe that it's been 8 years already. I can't remember my life without him, it's like we've always been together. My honey bought me a dozen red roses and had them delivered by a beautiful little girl who said " <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Suprize</span> Mommy, these <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ar</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">fo</span> you!" Megan was in Naples with her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Weulo</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Wuela</span>, so my AMAZING aunt Delia watched Maya for us while we had an evening to ourselves. After a short stop at the Library, we went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Stonewood</span> for dinner and it was DELICIOUS!!! Marc had the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">filet</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">mignon</span> and he said it was perfect. The baked potato was divine and so were the mashed potatoes!! Then we headed to mall to check out some stuff. We shopped and had a great time just being together.<br /><br />I am <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">soo</span> blessed to have such a wonderful companion. He does so much for our family and we are very grateful for the amazing husband and father that he is. I know today, just as I did 8 years ago kneeling in front of him, that he is my eternal companion and the man that I am meant to be. I thank my Heavenly Father for giving me such a great man!!Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-92017502946073530362008-12-10T09:31:00.009-05:002008-12-10T09:58:54.961-05:00IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQp2OhmcGkP3FnAhPRSNsg1kPXMSJJlf6IbvPozYSuxfJk2tOdkV8Vml2rS2d5l2TVRYXiuQt10YQuhzakOGo5AtHT-I3p9WzSBUqCbAuBBsp-8vof-5n6kNq-U32SLfPrXe1_jn72IQ/s1600-h/DSC01745.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQp2OhmcGkP3FnAhPRSNsg1kPXMSJJlf6IbvPozYSuxfJk2tOdkV8Vml2rS2d5l2TVRYXiuQt10YQuhzakOGo5AtHT-I3p9WzSBUqCbAuBBsp-8vof-5n6kNq-U32SLfPrXe1_jn72IQ/s200/DSC01745.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278171770847192706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-u7vdfozr59otgbhhDqO13vJ8fGaGfsfgx6SF6d3Yn3zavkZ9S-lzND2L7GXVhHZma_hWiZ2dj5EciB23V4uLSehL5RaSIaEcQSh_XuFqqPGr5AvqV8ELBLFzmO-0tzaNFa9-4ZRvPA/s1600-h/DSC01746.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-u7vdfozr59otgbhhDqO13vJ8fGaGfsfgx6SF6d3Yn3zavkZ9S-lzND2L7GXVhHZma_hWiZ2dj5EciB23V4uLSehL5RaSIaEcQSh_XuFqqPGr5AvqV8ELBLFzmO-0tzaNFa9-4ZRvPA/s200/DSC01746.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278172013470926098" border="0" /></a><br />At least finally in our home it is. Monday Maya had a play date with her little friend Anna. Anna wanted to have a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">surprise</span> party, so Melanie and Anna came over and we made cupcakes, Yum-O!!!! The girls helped put the ingredients in and helped color the frosting; and of course they helped EAT THEM!!! They had fun watching the cupcakes cooks and get bigger.

Thursday I had a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Scentsy</span> Party and it was AWESOME!!! We had fun and this product is truly wonderful. For those who don't know what <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Scentsy</span> is, it is way more than a candle and I wouldn't even classify it with candles. It consists of a beautiful warmer that has a 25 watt bulb that heats the scented wax in a dish right above it. They have more than 80 scents to choose from, some of my faves: Flirtatious, Welcome Home, Home Sweet Home, Clementine Tea, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Sunkissed</span> Citrus, White Tea & Cactus, Skinny <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Dippin</span>', French Kiss ...... oh, there's more but I won't list them ALL! This product is so much safer than candles, especially if you curious kids and a curious kitty like I do. Thanks Mia for introducing me to the wonderful world of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Scentsy</span> and thanks Tiffany for being my consultant ( & friend) and helping me get lots of goodies.

On Saturday the girls got to go to the tree lot and pick out a tree with Nana, Papa, Mimi, Uncle B and the cousins. Then they got to be good little helpers and decorate the tree for Nana and Papa. They had a blast putting ornaments on the tree, dancing and singing. Their cousin A.E. made up an adorable song about decorating the Christmas tree, I believe it's called "We Decorated the Christmas Tree", we'll let you know when the single is out. Uncle Marc was so proud, I think he might have had a tear in his eye, he is the KING of making up songs and enjoyed hearing an A.E. original. Then it was off to change at home and go to our Ward Christmas Party.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIkRC2azN_HzSi8aCZNL_KWOqtv1g8lEtiTVTcI9H2-L8QLvlPq0172Qw8igrCAJE2zlYQ8aYcD50iMFjnrIWQdPVFLsli7CTqz3bBStWVkOfcYU987-0iYXQNhcRfYgS_zaBerj1-g/s1600-h/DSC01727.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIkRC2azN_HzSi8aCZNL_KWOqtv1g8lEtiTVTcI9H2-L8QLvlPq0172Qw8igrCAJE2zlYQ8aYcD50iMFjnrIWQdPVFLsli7CTqz3bBStWVkOfcYU987-0iYXQNhcRfYgS_zaBerj1-g/s200/DSC01727.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278155334100163266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD3iYipGQrT1aIemD7b5MULwvark1hpoV-9YZ9Z0G4MH7VjDdGKatySoDL0zX9qKh92U2phAWTMAXcU0hjCPSnsJzKu4cSoewiZbYRnJCOvy4E8SwmVup-cV-jASoSrmbh-HnlBMh6Tg/s1600-h/DSC01731.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD3iYipGQrT1aIemD7b5MULwvark1hpoV-9YZ9Z0G4MH7VjDdGKatySoDL0zX9qKh92U2phAWTMAXcU0hjCPSnsJzKu4cSoewiZbYRnJCOvy4E8SwmVup-cV-jASoSrmbh-HnlBMh6Tg/s200/DSC01731.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278155582694866898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiguss6DvGxSXDUlRzDEMsE0jJzTVqLnDOROfDN2qKQo-chX_kDVLd2XojaJwLh5NO3t1W_sO9QQLOoh7hn9q7PFrel6h8bg6a-naPQ0F-CxA-U1-5Acvvdn-jI-IYSzd8jlf5av5iQkw/s1600-h/DSC01744.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiguss6DvGxSXDUlRzDEMsE0jJzTVqLnDOROfDN2qKQo-chX_kDVLd2XojaJwLh5NO3t1W_sO9QQLOoh7hn9q7PFrel6h8bg6a-naPQ0F-CxA-U1-5Acvvdn-jI-IYSzd8jlf5av5iQkw/s200/DSC01744.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278155903338408386" border="0" /></a><br />Megan got to sing and do the bells for Christmas Bells. Maya got to hold a picture up for The Nativity Song (what a big girl!). The Primary did such a nice job singing both songs. They had 2 stuffed reindeer that the kids loved riding, they had reindeer races. Maya kept petting them and kissing them. They had fun playing with their friends and meeting Santa Claus of course.

I did not know that this place even existed. It was an interesting place. They had a cool fountain that "danced" to the music playing. There were tours of the Bible through history, a miniature model of the city of Jerusalem, a smaller replica of King Herod's temple, a playground for he kids, and a live Crucifixion re-enactment. Yes, that's right a Crucifixion re-enactment. That was really hard to watch, it makes it so real and really puts into perspective how hard (major understatement) it must have been for our Savior to go through it. It makes me realize hoe much our Heavenly Father loves us to be willing to let His Son die for us. I am very grateful for His sacrifice and the hope that it brings me and my family everyday.<br /><br />It was nice spending time with my little sister too. She has grown up so fast, I can't believe she's graduating this year!!! It seems like just yesterday I was trying to get that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">spikey</span> hair of hers to lay flat, but it was actually 17 years ago. Time flies!!

This year we were not as adventuresome. We, being myself, Hermy ( my sister), Reina (my niece) and Elma (my niece) hit Wal-Mart @ about 3am. Yep, that's right, we waited for 2 hours by the stuff we wanted to be sure we got it. Marc and I got the girls ( Reina, Elma, Laura and my cuz Meli) MP3 players for Christmas this year. So Reina and Elma waited for those, I waited by the $2, $6 & $9 movies, while Hermy waited in the toy section for Cabbage Patch babies and a Barbie. Then it was off to Target to get a few things, which did not happen because the line at the Target was SUPER long. So we ended up waiting an hour and 15 mins. in front of Game Stop to get a Wii Fit for my cousin Juan's nephew. It was a bit chilly but thank goodness for Starbuck's. Then it was back home to try and stay awake until Maya's nap time. Hermy, Reina, and Elma were BOOGERS and fell asleep, which meant I couldn't. Luckily, my hubby had pity on me and let me sleep when he got home from his golf game. So that was our day after Thanksgiving adventure and it was well worth the lack of sleep and the coldness!!!Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-91263341597061304592008-12-10T01:17:00.011-05:002008-12-10T18:50:23.857-05:00THANKSGIVING... or something like it.<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5cwbeglDpDDOioWPBnRc3byPKeuvs0OzwlebvdX767pXS-LIpMSFPL6jNVKph9drhewlRd3o7KOaG-VKZaU_8TH-__XNcMJBLAROAJew5YIhNsRxOZeYGGS-g5b_52f_V0ZLXKWlh2w/s1600-h/DSC01352.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278049266975238210" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5cwbeglDpDDOioWPBnRc3byPKeuvs0OzwlebvdX767pXS-LIpMSFPL6jNVKph9drhewlRd3o7KOaG-VKZaU_8TH-__XNcMJBLAROAJew5YIhNsRxOZeYGGS-g5b_52f_V0ZLXKWlh2w/s200/DSC01352.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhijRn-HDZKvqG7LMtigRb8yiymILSvKsymgewdq0TfAiiX-XrrLLYzY_dKMekgKjTFPwUBcbui7FSI8Kcxlz6Zp3AQTmNQyje4AApDc1zQDtWEqyaq2VQvUGuJgd62pn6YYf-uwlHgZw/s1600-h/DSC01596.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278049486903849362" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhijRn-HDZKvqG7LMtigRb8yiymILSvKsymgewdq0TfAiiX-XrrLLYzY_dKMekgKjTFPwUBcbui7FSI8Kcxlz6Zp3AQTmNQyje4AApDc1zQDtWEqyaq2VQvUGuJgd62pn6YYf-uwlHgZw/s200/DSC01596.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzLYbRAXkXEMneRO0cfRFNiWrClhZMZNi4tWGc3n8jGEN99mi3Mj2IdGIraxBu5hlRQ0fgkTcHJghMX7bfotTUZbelnfWar_YRf8wMfZSynG8bt-yyPKmnpNUoYuNDRI0NdhSH4sNsQ/s1600-h/DSC01472.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278049729290057954" style="WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzLYbRAXkXEMneRO0cfRFNiWrClhZMZNi4tWGc3n8jGEN99mi3Mj2IdGIraxBu5hlRQ0fgkTcHJghMX7bfotTUZbelnfWar_YRf8wMfZSynG8bt-yyPKmnpNUoYuNDRI0NdhSH4sNsQ/s200/DSC01472.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRWCeKHc6unW2KN8La9L3IiB5GIQ6mjmBsjESi7XI40YBF3f8uqGYhCPr8fgRNuUcv-Ti1DcSaMGIjEPfcEXXchqpabe-JZDC4knzGqQgOShHkT_zWCBMtRGCmmjZBK2Z3EqIUCSbQg/s1600-h/DSC01474.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278050615349525106" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 188px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRWCeKHc6unW2KN8La9L3IiB5GIQ6mjmBsjESi7XI40YBF3f8uqGYhCPr8fgRNuUcv-Ti1DcSaMGIjEPfcEXXchqpabe-JZDC4knzGqQgOShHkT_zWCBMtRGCmmjZBK2Z3EqIUCSbQg/s200/DSC01474.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><br /></div>Well, this Thanksgiving was definitely interesting. I must also mention that it was my 31st Birthday. Thanks everyone for celebrating with turkey, ham and all the fixins on my special day! Well we started off the day around midnight when we had to take Maya to the ER, she had been feeling ill earlier in the day and had a fever. I was just about to go to sleep for the night, my niece Laura and I had been up making carrot cake and were about to turn in when I felt I needed to check on her. Well, she woke up she had a fever of 103.6 and was freaking out a bit because she was having probs breathing. So, we woke Megan up and loaded everyone in the truck and drove to the hospital. As soon as the triage nurse saw and heard her she said she had croup. She sounded like a barking seal and wanted to hold Mommy a lot. She was such a trooper considering that she felt like pooh. The doc saw her and confirmed that it was croup and took a chest x-ray just to make sure she wasn't getting pneumonia and then gave her a breathing treatment and some roids. So we got home around 3am. I slept on the floor in her room, while her WONDERFUL Daddy drove around on Thanksgiving Day at 3am trying to find a place to fill his little girl's RX. He got home around 4:30am. So we all slept in a little. We decided not to go to Mom & Dad Padgett's so we wouldn't spread the germs. Marc stayed home with Maya while Megan and I went to Plant City to have Thanksgiving with my family. Poor Marc didn't get to go to dinner, but since his Mommy loves him soooo much, she sent him Thanksgiving Dinner to enjoy at home.<br /><br />We had fun at my brother Marty's house. My cousin Gloria brought crafts for the kids to make, pine cone Christmas trees and gingerbread men to decorate and eat. We ate and talked; and ate and talked. Good times, good times! The kids played football outside and ran around. It was day filled with good food, good company and mostly good memories.Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-83692271986654422802008-11-18T16:45:00.010-05:002008-12-31T12:20:43.733-05:00Dinner at Nana & Papa's<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vFKHC_TxwoKrg3oQR_JxqZoLJ8Ng0GZBH0mP9-rze6kSZjT1EFe9fgLzT9vUnK3H9dbt96S8ERpnxzmgVurR892RFAht_XtLU3U4u1ulhvrguYN9pvF6nlOoQDJExGr0_umfC1UHug/s1600-h/021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270118845310536562" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 200px; cursor: pointer; height: 150px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vFKHC_TxwoKrg3oQR_JxqZoLJ8Ng0GZBH0mP9-rze6kSZjT1EFe9fgLzT9vUnK3H9dbt96S8ERpnxzmgVurR892RFAht_XtLU3U4u1ulhvrguYN9pvF6nlOoQDJExGr0_umfC1UHug/s200/021.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1YnzWahK_cAzDHoETKMQZSUN3_3It5XKDKW-dd_z4cQtmY_SxfSqu3o0FtrwPgGq_Qi4TjqURD2jKR28nTLMO57ke8QBFBcONVjwDCNKaKKGq4xaGc7g8h_MnQQdcGSpseqTYleepw/s1600-h/022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270118554774864098" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 200px; cursor: pointer; height: 150px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1YnzWahK_cAzDHoETKMQZSUN3_3It5XKDKW-dd_z4cQtmY_SxfSqu3o0FtrwPgGq_Qi4TjqURD2jKR28nTLMO57ke8QBFBcONVjwDCNKaKKGq4xaGc7g8h_MnQQdcGSpseqTYleepw/s200/022.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Okay so we have a weekly tradition, we usually go to Mom & Dad Padgett's house for dinner every Sunday. The girls look forward to it every week, it's special time they get to spend with Nana & Papa. This Sunday Mom made roast beef, mashed potatoes, butter beans, rolls and banana pudding. ( No you guys can't come over for dinner, they're OURS!!!) Well, Maya and Megan both LOVE Nana's mashed potatoes ( as she says, "They aren't for the faint of heart.") they are creamy and delicious, it takes a little coaxing to get them to eat the rest of the food. However, the highlight of the evening was the tickle wars with Papa and the Banana Pudding. Maya was pretty close to licking her plate clean. Here are some pics of them enjoying their yummy dessert. Thanks Nana for a great dinner!!!Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-84414773230858180912008-11-18T16:22:00.004-05:002008-11-18T16:41:04.263-05:00Ronald Madonald<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4X9vdIJwYrCA4P98nUTmbannMwHbfcTH9BgbcZhA5kaHgCbshuNBn8pFZPzo_uIVanJVPYNCYElU09TvQUexvESCJ6PPTJzRxkTo6Zc9EgEXroKgGZ9o-dcS6f3xIF1diui70xdWYIg/s1600-h/024.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4X9vdIJwYrCA4P98nUTmbannMwHbfcTH9BgbcZhA5kaHgCbshuNBn8pFZPzo_uIVanJVPYNCYElU09TvQUexvESCJ6PPTJzRxkTo6Zc9EgEXroKgGZ9o-dcS6f3xIF1diui70xdWYIg/s200/024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113474827951426" border="0" /></a><br />So, I forgot to mention that one of the cool things about having Matthew was that he came with his Mommy's car. So I am now Matthewless, kinda sad. :( It was fun having a baby boy in our home. I am also carless. It was really nice to be able to go where I wanted, when I wanted. But now I am back to no car.:( Maya and I went to Wal- Mart as our last Hoorah with a car. She decided she wanted to sit on Ronald Madonald's lap. Doesn't she look cute? She tried to move him and was a little disappointed that he was stuck to the bench. But she said he was really nice! Then we came home and took naps (YEAH!!!) and waited for Melanie to come take my baby ( I mean her baby) back home. Aunty Melanie brought us really nice Hawaiian gifts. Megan ABSOLUTELY loved her pretty bracelet and matching earrings! Maya got a beautiful Hawaiian dress. I got a pretty bag ( I LOVE bags!!) and a beautiful necklace. Marc got some yummy chocolates that we all get to share. I'm glad that she had fun and that we were able to help. She is a wonderful friend and I am very blessed to have her in my life.Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-17615534814671405002008-11-15T19:11:00.004-05:002008-11-18T16:21:57.977-05:00We Have A Baby Boy!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZXELkvbzIkAcNntxM1jPlsRWcEHqb0lbwdUzZ0jZqHcoeEcE83pBsTVsASn6blfQ1Nz69pKlKBamBSd74fA3TpCJUZDI_cFbYvOJlvtqxg524ESCwn2GH1xbrIiWrQVSBf3uczdCPGw/s1600-h/029.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZXELkvbzIkAcNntxM1jPlsRWcEHqb0lbwdUzZ0jZqHcoeEcE83pBsTVsASn6blfQ1Nz69pKlKBamBSd74fA3TpCJUZDI_cFbYvOJlvtqxg524ESCwn2GH1xbrIiWrQVSBf3uczdCPGw/s200/029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270110872343489842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kkGK60BruDGOjLUvH9GC7kxuXU2Q9nAt2jAwST7mTkH_7bsABFfggB9RPj4ztd3A0Wlmgm1KaojGyXqUPuGjTdUiR6QeM6I9CTyG81Cn-ThgOVqiynyxTYxFtr6q5NIWbQjj_1PC6g/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kkGK60BruDGOjLUvH9GC7kxuXU2Q9nAt2jAwST7mTkH_7bsABFfggB9RPj4ztd3A0Wlmgm1KaojGyXqUPuGjTdUiR6QeM6I9CTyG81Cn-ThgOVqiynyxTYxFtr6q5NIWbQjj_1PC6g/s200/027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270110862366350786" border="0" /></a><br />My dream has finally come true! I have an ADORABLE baby boy in my home. Matthew is such a cutie. Marc has cute nicknames for him like "Booger Boy" and "Puke Monster", he of course means these in a loving way. This week has been fun with Matthew!!! (Oh, and no I didn't really have baby, he belongs to my BF Melanie.) I am fortunate to be able to watch him this week while she is hanging out on the beaches of Hawaii with her hubby Charlie (you gotta love the travel biz!). So Matthew is mine for a little while. I forgot what it's like to have a baby in the house. He has been very good and is sleeping pretty much through the night. Maya is having a little bit of trouble with it, she's use to it being just her and Mommy. But she is doing a good job of sharing me and always worries when Matthew is crying and wants to give him his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">binky</span>. So we have enjoyed having baby Matthew with us and will be sad to see him go back home, but I don't think this family is ready for a full-time baby yet. So there you have it!! Our week has been full of smiles, spit-ups, sleeping and HAVING FUN!!! All in all a pretty good week if I do say so myself, and I do.Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-91371040834386636692008-11-06T16:39:00.010-05:002008-11-06T17:13:31.182-05:00MANATEES<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJoUeF7KFNShsAiC8Ix07k8MsA6utM-RxhQgvUJajmIlGXiAy4AJVmnWg149kJUp_3XkLtFdemI7lK3VsSb7ThDfXMEMmmFQcgLimz_Abc9pd4Yqy12wqH2s4T9qptzybUTQ4WmIH8w/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265671147601223954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJoUeF7KFNShsAiC8Ix07k8MsA6utM-RxhQgvUJajmIlGXiAy4AJVmnWg149kJUp_3XkLtFdemI7lK3VsSb7ThDfXMEMmmFQcgLimz_Abc9pd4Yqy12wqH2s4T9qptzybUTQ4WmIH8w/s200/Maya+Gail+006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCXms9Lv6MhJUMmBu5cmH8B3NJySIRo9sJwQXSwU-T7o3jVccH8ra7qVmKJyKBUvZSo9BpY7XvMy_5zEpRDd9tPHcoH9blylYZTFd54XaUVdWhEodvGEtDqTXYGa5rpXftE3gItquOQ/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265671141237192066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 112px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCXms9Lv6MhJUMmBu5cmH8B3NJySIRo9sJwQXSwU-T7o3jVccH8ra7qVmKJyKBUvZSo9BpY7XvMy_5zEpRDd9tPHcoH9blylYZTFd54XaUVdWhEodvGEtDqTXYGa5rpXftE3gItquOQ/s200/Maya+Gail+003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jdh-BavR2BlUKtC2uZgOmZHS_x2mrGu_ncPS-JNx9Ztv2jIWju7xK2iR4X_8Btxw_QWXp28NazVc4JoVR22L4otuPGUoYmL4DK7fLg7zZg8hWt2AlKsTLZvRC9xDnMF71jZnvVQ-1w/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265671140075474994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 98px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jdh-BavR2BlUKtC2uZgOmZHS_x2mrGu_ncPS-JNx9Ztv2jIWju7xK2iR4X_8Btxw_QWXp28NazVc4JoVR22L4otuPGUoYmL4DK7fLg7zZg8hWt2AlKsTLZvRC9xDnMF71jZnvVQ-1w/s200/Maya+Gail+004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2uPvBUCpSAQvwwdk_7oHsw4tL7vFA-ZYKmdPzl-cehyphenhyphenTlfxiaNJWvAva-yen_FdwQFnKI_OglUetP5yF7zO6MbXKBjdIiiVl_togvT5SG9YjJKi7P-_3qBkHnGChmB67dirVD7hPYFw/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+006.JPG"></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7tHGa0nlHWB8CMSqOWAk_ZzQ_lqdz8EH0S0S1ZCGA_CWwQS_bPV6x5n-9YgwBF8eZJOPYlSJPB49Fd5Uhm3y3MgYl_bo3QlqZgGA0EXgRV4cCNNLikcxOd17BR6HvJjqLJsOhTPN0RA/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+003.JPG"></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB2wp9hcHV9FRnh1bVpEJO7htItHA4iMAu52vEKYGc22pp7B3B0RFegQ4KWQukIUqTLUOhiGWmqHnnEzdZ1FOoCMtuSrzAUzFHMqsMhKiUN5lGST00Wk5u8QdkqbiJbVhgsqoYtVA7jg/s1600-h/Maya+Gail+004.JPG"></a></p>Yesterday we went to the Manatee Viewing Center, it was fun! Maya enjoyed getting out of the house and spending time with her cousins (thanks Mimi!). Of course I forgot to charge to my battery and only got to take a few pictures ( in the 1st 5 mins. we were there) before the battery died. Maya had fun running around, looking for manatees, crabs and birdies. We even spotted a sting ray. The best part was that Mimi took us this italian ice place called Rita's. It was DELICIOUS!!!! I had a Pumpkin Pie gellati and a Mango Italian ice which were both AMAZING!!!! The girls were very good cousins and were sharing with each other, no pics to prove it though. I can't wait to go back and have some more, I'm thinking Friday for the Fudge Brownie and Saturday for the Coconut!!!<br /><br />Today we went to Music with Mar, Maya loves Thursdays. My best friend Melanie picks us up and it's off to music class. Maya loves to sing and dance with her little friend Anna ( Melanie's little girl) and Ms. Kelly of course ( her teacher). She's become a bit of a teacher's pet, but who can resist that cute face and dimples, I'm just saying! She was a little disappointed that there was no Madonolds today, but she survived. </div></div>Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-28402571711216006082008-11-03T22:00:00.014-05:002008-11-05T16:30:09.355-05:00HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFuACfWEf9j1VMlha859Aq26Y5A9QikOLqdZvjnphp8LACi05FodXcH_dJLHhpo-N-MpuRCEU2dIZOGA7Hp1LCi74Q4Ch7t9jJ492zRtPOJZmf_Uqi4zbSXI1u6wquVX_lG8YkoQ8zw/s1600-h/DSC01158.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265288587564175058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFuACfWEf9j1VMlha859Aq26Y5A9QikOLqdZvjnphp8LACi05FodXcH_dJLHhpo-N-MpuRCEU2dIZOGA7Hp1LCi74Q4Ch7t9jJ492zRtPOJZmf_Uqi4zbSXI1u6wquVX_lG8YkoQ8zw/s320/DSC01158.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcNwfgRoZ0GB3oQUgSxBdIEd48W_OGAxONhzU7Rpzn9fK0DRDw9yRlORQlHK2-kQ-aAdLpfXniPo9rtg_5ubXgpODgegBlQc2l_bYtRTHZPGKhBU8-tGzhpCoE0mCtgKXDrUsj7b4RA/s1600-h/DSC01145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265288096205597394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcNwfgRoZ0GB3oQUgSxBdIEd48W_OGAxONhzU7Rpzn9fK0DRDw9yRlORQlHK2-kQ-aAdLpfXniPo9rtg_5ubXgpODgegBlQc2l_bYtRTHZPGKhBU8-tGzhpCoE0mCtgKXDrUsj7b4RA/s320/DSC01145.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZjSPhqFJbfuGMvHGRlp5QaJ_HjWMMBveASfHgRm07kbbc9dtfhoH2U866WSEoiIXnNg13aGDUqDl8qvYS8tHsUDwleCj-0ZJgPDv6695KbLn3PLgYKu07v76bhmstUCXRZH7S2ixow/s1600-h/DSC01149.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265288091985031906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZjSPhqFJbfuGMvHGRlp5QaJ_HjWMMBveASfHgRm07kbbc9dtfhoH2U866WSEoiIXnNg13aGDUqDl8qvYS8tHsUDwleCj-0ZJgPDv6695KbLn3PLgYKu07v76bhmstUCXRZH7S2ixow/s320/DSC01149.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXBq39_wA3HlqkF6_IvRyN3e44jEKgg1DPWaitIkwbUdmM5r00VtTJ4qR4E2J6K4RNfciyN8cK4cjRkA1IrcPQ_mjHw7967v9H8EJATTXtegK53T2zPTAscQm3Ms4SkGMsT9qLZYuZQ/s1600-h/DSC01148.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265288083259642562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXBq39_wA3HlqkF6_IvRyN3e44jEKgg1DPWaitIkwbUdmM5r00VtTJ4qR4E2J6K4RNfciyN8cK4cjRkA1IrcPQ_mjHw7967v9H8EJATTXtegK53T2zPTAscQm3Ms4SkGMsT9qLZYuZQ/s320/DSC01148.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Halloween is finally over!! My kids have been hyped up on candy for the past 3 days. I'm waiting for the last traces of sugar to leave their bloodstream, although I suppose those soy hazelnut hot chocolates from Starbucks I gave them tonight won't help much. Megan and Maya were Butterfly Fairies (think Barbie Mariposa). They were sooooooo flippin' cute. Their Mimi threw an AWESOME Halloween Party and they had a blast!! They did a little trick-o-treating afterwards. It was soo cute to hear Maya go up to the doors this year and say "Twick-o-tweet". She thought it was the coolest thing that she got candy just for saying that. We also went to the ward Trunk-o-Treat Sat. night, so on Sunday Maya asked me if we were going to another party to get candy. Now I have to figure out what to do with all of the candy I have in my house. </div></div></div>Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534915838751330460.post-57709676953530333302008-11-03T21:50:00.003-05:002008-11-05T20:09:35.831-05:00HERE WE GO!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihp-_yg-VnBP3NytlgEZyj60AbVqx9IKuyAaOBjokc8Sy9y_mLLj2oitDy9R11hjTVPcdc5HlpaggQPOW3VjJlfmP1KaOVU5wZzChgpLKaPeDDmQfBVTm0TXG3Jfr5JGqf4VXdXZrjhQ/s1600-h/May+2008+Fam+Pic_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihp-_yg-VnBP3NytlgEZyj60AbVqx9IKuyAaOBjokc8Sy9y_mLLj2oitDy9R11hjTVPcdc5HlpaggQPOW3VjJlfmP1KaOVU5wZzChgpLKaPeDDmQfBVTm0TXG3Jfr5JGqf4VXdXZrjhQ/s320/May+2008+Fam+Pic_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264629645900814066" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Well, hello friends and family. Just wanted to keep people updated on what's going on at The Padgett Home (since we're really bad about calling and e-mailing our friends). We are doing well, Marc is still a Superintendent at Mercedes Homes and I'm still staying at home with the girls. Megan started 1st Grade this year and is an awesome little reader already! Maya is now 2 and quite the little conversationalist, I don't know where she gets that from. Both the girls LOVE to sing and dance. We have daily performances at our home if anyone wants to stop by, I'm sure they'd love a bigger audience than just Mom & Dad. Marc is the Sunday School President in the Ward and I am the CTR 7 teacher. We are working and enjoying the time we have with our little family!Martina Padgetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01432968272593994967noreply@blogger.com3
