This is just nuts!

So, this morning we woke up and got ready for church. Put Bailey in a short sleeved dress and I wore short sleeves too. It was 70 degrees when we left church! Then we went to lunch and went home to take a nap. At 5 we went back up to the church to help with Toys for Tots. We realized it had gotten a bit colder, it was around 50, then during the 5 hours we were there working, the temperature dropped below freezing and it started icing! From 70 degrees to an ice storm all in one day! Welcome to Oklahoma!

Toys for Tots was great, it was draining, but fun. I was a personal shopper, so I helped the parents pick out toys for their kids. It was nice to see them think so hard on what their kids would like the best. Jason ended up working outside in the bitter cold, so he was a little icicle. We didn't realize we would be working until 10, so poor Bailey was so tired! When we got home, I unbuckled her from her seat and she just slumped over, it was so pitiful. She went to bed without a fuss! Caden is still up, but he's settling down and should go to sleep after I feed him.

That's it for now.

Love to all!

My Extreme Makeover Home Edition

So, as many of you know, we bought a house in May of 2008 that was quite a fixer-upper. It was a foreclosure that had been empty for 2 years! We have spent the last 8 months scrubbing, painting and getting the inside just the way we want it. We have bold colors on the walls, family pictures everywhere, new wood floors down and pretty lighting fixtures that really lighten up the place. But, the thorn in my side has been the outside. Due to the fact that it was empty for so long, the trim went from hunter green, to hideous turquoise. The main color used to be a yellowish cream and now looks more like a very light pink. (yick!) Well, all that changed this weekend when my wonderful in-laws came over and helped us paint. The BEFORE: (boo!) The AFTER: (hooray!) Thank you so, so much to the Clarks and to Jason for working so hard to make our house look so wonderful. It truly feels like our home now.

What Fun!

Life has been busy, crazy but oh, so FUN! In the past week, I've gotten to go to the Bahamas with my friend and I got to spend 24 hours with my dad who was in town for a 50th anniversary celebration. Both adventures were so incredible and made me remember that even though I'm hot, pregnant and cranky, at times, I am so amazingly blessed. I met my best friend, Sarah, in 1991. I was in 1st grade and she was in 2nd. We met at church and have been buds ever since. We got to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a 5 day trip to the Bahamas where we were on a resort and got to relax. We left our husbands and kids behind for a few days resting and enjoying each others company. It was so incredible! This is the view we saw for 4 days, lying on the beach, reading and relaxing. It was so incredible and such a blessing that we were able to go. We got to go sailing, snorkeling and relax by the beach. Sarah even got to do the trapeze. I didn't, due to the baby in my womb (and because I
