Little Sahara


This weekend we went to Little Sahara State Park which is an incredible park near Enid, OK that is miles of sand dunes, it's beautiful and open 24 hours a day for four wheelers, bikers and ORVs of all sorts. It's got camp grounds, so we brought the RV and went out for the weekend, it was amazing!
Bailey and Caden were going to spend lots of time in the RV, so we bought special markers and paper just for the trip!
Caden loved the "tractors" and watched them drive by the window all day. He even got to ride them a couple times!
This is a Razor, which is an offroad vehicle that is really fun to ride in. Nathan Banker was driving, he came along with his dad, Jerry to join in on the fun. The kids loved taking a ride with him, even though it was just around the parking lot.
Then Jason took the kids on the 4-wheeler. They were both thrilled!


Bailey and Chloe got to play on the four-wheeler. I think she looks pretty comfortable on that thing even though it'll be a couple years before she can drive it!
My future four wheelers.
Caden is precious.


Then Jason and I got to go out by ourselves, it was so fun! The sun was setting and the weather was beautiful.


I like to show off for my hubby. He thinks I'm hot.

The sand was beautiful, so soft and went on for miles!
Our drive back was fun because we got to see another side of Oklahoma. Lots of plateaus and dunes, it really is a beautiful state.
The poor kids were so tuckered out after 2 days of staying up late and waking up early. They slept most of the way home. I love them.
So that was our weekend, it was pretty incredible. I love being part of this family.

    "Lots of plateaus and dunes, it really is a beautiful state." Can you say oxymoron?! Hee hee! So glad you got to get out a bit. Hope you're feeling better soon.

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...
