Birthday Surprises & Biggest Loser

On Friday, as you all know, my brother got married. Well, all day I was trying to get my brother-in-law, Ryan, away from his wife to talk to him about her birthday. It took all day, but I finally caught him alone during the reception. We concocted a plan to surprise her for her birthday by Marcus and I going up there to babysit so they could go out by themselves, which is a rare occasion.

So yesterday, I was chatting with her on the internet and she told me she wasn't going to make herself a cake, so I got my wonderful husband to make one for her. He actually likes baking. He made a pumpkin cheesecake out of the blue the other day. YUMMY! ANYWAY, he made her a cake while I was still at work, and when I got off, we headed straight up there.

I had NO idea how Ryan was going to keep it a secret that they were going out alone, but he did it! *Now this is how think the conversations went, but I'm not sure.* He called Ashlie from work and told her to get ready cause they were going out. He said he would get a babysitter. Luckily, she was in her room getting ready when we showed up. Ryan walked in the room and this is how the conversation went.

Ryan: "So, should we take the girls with us?"
Ashlie: "You didn't get a babysitter?"
Ryan: "No.
Ashlie: "SADIE! MCKADIE! Come here."

Sadie and McKadie were out in the living room with us, and I sent them into their Mom. As soon as Sadie walked in the room, she said, "Kenzie's here!"

So, it wasn't me or Ryan that blew it, it was Sadie, and who could blame her? She is so cute! And she only said that about 2 minutes early. I think Ryan did a great job keeping the secret, because I couldn't figure out how he was going to do it. So, we babysat the rest of that night, and half watched Biggest Loser. I decided to sleep on it before writing about it this time. Now is when you should stop reading Ashlie.

Amy C. made me a little angry last night saying that she was looking out for herself, but how could you be looking out for yourself when you save the lady that called you a backstabbing *bad word* every chance she got? Then I got to thinking about it. Coleen usually had pretty consistent numbers, until last night, and Vicky is a roller coaster, high, low, high, low. So, she made a wise choice. I honestly don't think that Vicky will win, maybe that's just wishing. She is such a piece of work.

I was talking to Kregg Clemens at church and we both agreed Vicky needed to be the next to go, and last night was the ultimate oppourtunity, but Amy C. Blew it. Maybe next week...
