Wait, what? It's November?

 Well, it's finally November. November is the month I've been waiting for since February when we discovered we would be a family of five. I love being a mother, being pregnant, however, is not quite so much fun. Bailey and Caden's pregnancies were both relatively easy, this one has been completely different. More sickness, more blood pressure problems, I was put on restricted activity and have had lots of pain, especially in my hips and shooting down my legs. It's not been an easy road. But there is one thing that I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it will be worth it. Holding Devan will be one of the sweetest moments in my life because it was such a long road. I am currently 39 weeks along and have a planned induction on November 17th but I am hoping and praying (and praying and praying) that I go naturally before then.

Besides being very pregnant, we have also been very busy. I've never been a huge fan of Halloween, I don't like dark spooky things or things jumping out and scaring me. But with kids, Halloween is a bit more fun because they get so excited dressing up! Bailey dressed up as an Egyptian Princess and Caden was a Pirate Captain. We went to Evergreen Baptist's Trunk or Treat and had a blast!


Before we went to Trunk or Treat we needed to fill up on something un-sweet! So we went and got sandwiches and the kids found a table just their size!

 We went to a pumpkin patch and had so much fun. Caden is such a stud. He totally posed for this picture! We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch and got to see lots of animals and we each got to pick out a pumpkin of our own!
Here's Miss Bailey being adorable. Notice her crazy bangs, this was the morning she cut her hair(more about that later) so she got to wear her hood the entire time we were at the pumpkin patch!

Here is one of my favorite pictures of all time. Caden was so determined to pick up this pumpkin. He tried so, so hard and actually got half of it about an inch off the grown once, but he gave it his all!


We took some pictures of the kids on October 24th because these are my two 3 year olds! I love it!
Oh my goodness, I love my boy. I don't even know how to describe how adorable I think he is. Of course I do, I'm his mother, but seriously... look at that face!
Here is Bailey, being adorable. This is before she chopped her hair off. She decided to sneak scissors into her room and chop off her gorgeous hair! I cried, but now I've accepted it as part of parenting toddlers and am now giving her some new hair options and waiting for it to grow back out!
After, it is so completely different, but we do what we can! And one day I'll be old and she'll have to take care of me and curl my hair everyday!

Well, that's a brief overview. Hopefully my next post will be pictures of our #3, Charles 'Devan' Clark! Prayers are appreciated!

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...
