About time...


I thought it was about time to update. Why is this underlined? What is going on? Stupid blogspot.
Anyways, here is a picture of the kids and Jason looking at the fish at Bass Pro Shops where we went to get their pictures taken with Santa. It was a great Santa, but a horribly long wait and not a pleasant experience. If anyone knows of another free Santa, let me know.
We went to a retirement center to get the kids' pictures taken with another Santa, but he left 15 minutes before we got there. So we took pictures with Nanny. It was also during naptime... not my brightest move.
Here is my studmuffin in his Christmas outfit. I think he's just sooo adorable.
Anyway, other things that are happening-
We leave on December 24th at 6:45 am to go to Bozeman, MT for Christmas. I am TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EXCITED! I'm so incredibly ready. It's been a rough year and an even rougher couple of weeks. I'm ready to chill out on the couch and talk to my siblings, I'm ready to give my incredibly cheesy homemade gifts to everyone and watch them act like they totally LOVE it! :) I'm ready to eat dad's fudge (hint, hint) and watch my mom play with my kids. I'm ready to relax, completely relax.
Jason's job is going well, they have had several good contracts come through and are expecting to be able to give him a raise in the next 2 months. We're ready for that!
I'm still watching Annabelle and Archer, but today is my last day for awhile. I might watch them in January, maybe not. It's still up in the air. It's been a lot of fun, but they don't want Archer to take naps anymore and I don't think I can do it without a little break in the middle of the day. I'm pooped!
Anyways, that all for now.
Love to all.
Christa

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
