A weekend away

We had a lovely weekend at the cabins with the Clarks and their small group. It was lovely! The weather had just enough chill in it to make the cabins extra cozy and everyone's cheeks just a little rosie. We played games, ate lots of food and just really relaxed. Bailey was so cute, toddling all over the place. She's quite the walker now. Since she's has walking down so well, we thought it was about time for her to learn another way of moving...


We really had a blast out there, here are some highlights.

Chuck taught Bailey how to play cards.

We played lots of ping pong. Jason and I both beat Chuck (which is impressive if you know how good that man is with any kind of raquet!).

Bailey discovere the wonder of a doorknob. Luckily she's not quite strong enough to pull open the door, but she sure was proud of herself!

Here's Bailey perfecting her new driving skills. Notice the placements of the hands, the eyes on the road, the seriousness in which she takes this new responsibility...
We went out to eat at a Mexican resteraunt for Donna's birthday.

Here's Donna with her celebatory fried cheesecake. That's my kind of way to celebrate a birthday!

And I also took a million pictures of the world's cutest boy. I thought you might like to see my new photo gallery of Caden pics. Here are just a few of my favs.

    Looks like fun. The photos of Caden are adorable, although I'm not really sure who he looks like. Definitely NOT Bailey! Only one more thing to say, you better not let YOUR grandmother see the video of Bailey and Jason driving! :)

    should she be in a moving car and not in her seat? i think brittany spears got in a bunch of trouble for that!

    and, you have some cute kids.

    We were basically on a kind of driveway with no other cars around and we only went maybe 100 yards.

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...

My Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Image
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.

Sushi Night 2012

Image
 This Christmas we made sushi with my family in Montana. I made one semi-successful roll and really loved it! I thought that sushi was exclusively in the seafood category, so I never really tried it, but I learned that you can put chicken and beef in sushi, so we have started trying new things and decided to have a sushi party. We bought a sushi rolling kit at Target and bought out the Asian food aisle at Reasor's. Then it was time to clean. As most of you know, my children are incredible. They are well behaved, they are brilliant and lately, they've become extremely helpful! I gave them each jobs and they did great! Caden helped load the dishwasher, vacuum the living room carpet and wipe down the tables. Bailey cleaned the front bathroom and swept the floors. While they didn't do a perfect job, they were so cute and both just wanted to help. It was awesome.   Finally it was time for the party. We had 2 couples over from church with their kids and then a couple fro...
