July has been beautiful!

July has been wonderful, above is the 4th of July, we watched Rockets over Rhema and the kids were sooo tired, but it was still fun.
Doug had a concert at a church in town, so we went, Bailey was so excited and could barely wait for Doug to stop playing before she said hi. Above, she's clowning around with Aunt Danae and below is Doug playing. It was a great concert, I was really impressed at how talented my bro-in-law is!
I kept telling Bailey to talk quietly, then I laughed too loud and she told me to "shhhh!". It was precious!
Caden and I, showing off our matching eyes!
As soon as Doug as done, Bailey ran up screaming "Hi, Uncle Gugg!" So, here's a pic of Doug and his biggest fan.
A few weeks later we had a family pool party to celebrate Thomas and Kate's engagement. Thomas is Jason's cousin. It was great, and Chuck really had fun hanging out with his grandson.
This is Kate. She's tall. Bailey and Lauren showed just how long her legs are!
Bailey was showing off her new shoes!
She was so precious, we swam, ate yummy food and hung out with the fam.
Last week I reconnected with a friend from high school who also has a 2 year old named Bailey! We went over to play and make cupcakes, it was so cute!
First we made bracelets, Bailey is still wearing hers today!
Bailey and Bailey taking a break waiting for the cupcakes to bake.
Caden was so funny, he didn't really play with the Baileys but he had tons of fun just exploring all the new toys!
Time for frosting!
Caden wanted in on the fun, don't worry, he got a cupcake or two!
Dig in cuties!
Chuck and Dana's 30th Anniversary is this December 27th. It's always hard to celebrate an anniversary 2 days after Christmas, so we decided to celebrate early with a patio makeover while they were out of town.

I watched two kids this weekend, Archer and Annabelle Anderson. Annabelle is Caden's age and Archer is Bailey's age. It was perfect! Here Caden and Annabelle enjoy dinner!
Archer and Bailey watching Cars, their favorite movie!
The four kids enjoying popcorn and a movie! They actually sat this way for quite awhile!
So, July has been a great month full of fun, family and surprises. It's been beautiful. Hope August is just as fun!

    A very smart and diplomatic answer. It’s really appreciable and general.

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...
