Updates

Hello,
I've realized that not many people read this blog, but I know my Granny does, so I will continue to write, and post pictures. That's how much I love her! And, I love getting to go back and read previous posts, it's like a journal and I like that.
We had a very lovely day on Sunday. Well, actually, we were all sick, but Chuck came over in the afternoon to work on our mower, so we all went outside to get some fresh air.
Caden is doing very well with his cast and has learned the value of a walker. He was all over the place!

Bailey was so cute! She wanted to help "Poppy" with the mower, she sat quietly beside the mower and took random tools and "worked on the mower."
Caden wanted to see what all the excitement was about.
Beautiful Bailey and the Mower. A classic picture I'm sure!
The other things that have been going on are:
1. I'm working on finishing my degree at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. It will be a bachelors of arts in Organizational Management and Ethics. I'm almost done with my first class, Literature and Ideas, it's been a good class and while my professor and I don't always agree, I have learned a lot and she's seemed to relax a little.
2. Broken Made Beautiful is growing and getting to be quite fun! We're in a couple stores and we're always trying new designs. It's been so much fun and a great way to express my creativity and make some extra cash.
3. Jason's job is going well. He feels he is where God wants him to be, so that is good. Pray that business picks up so he can get on salary.
4. Bailey and Caden's birthdays are coming up. Caden will be 1 on Friday and Bailey will be 2 on Sunday! We're having a joint birthday party on Saturday, the theme is Princesses and Pirates. It should be a lot of fun, expect lots of pictures!
5. I've been sick for 6 days, Jason has been sick for 2, Caden has been sick for 7 and Bailey has been sick for 2. It's been a rough week, but hopefully I'll get to feeling better soon so I can take extra good care of my family!

Keep us in your prayers, we love you!

    I read it!!

    Sorry you guys have been sick. at least it's "all at once." We've been drawing it out for nearly a month now! Everyone's had it now, except for my husband, and we've been on "quarantine" for 3.5 weeks now. The kids are going to go nuts! We've had a day or two between each person getting sick, so we've been able to get out and do something each week, but after a minor back problem and sick kids, I don't feel like doing much! lol. Hope you guys get over it quickly!!

    So glad things are going well for you otherwise. School, new jobs, birthdays, etc.

    Prayers are coming your way.. (well, to God, for you guys from me.. lol)

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...
