...Easter 2013...




John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.

...Spring Break 2013...


This year,  we can say it was a switch-a-roo... March came 'in like a lamb and out like a lion'...

...enjoying another blazing fire and snow flurries on our 5 Acre Woods...our average temp for this month has been 46.9*,  the coldest March since 1998... 


 
...our journey continues...
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good"...


...this is our precious princess rubbing her eye...these are 4D ultrasounds so they are somewhat distorted...but, amazing  (Feb. 22, 2013)
...March 22nd...

Today is Friday and a day spent with Lindsay.  After her doctor's appointment, we started the day touring the last on her list of day cares.  It's imporant to choose a day care early so you can get on their waiting list.  Next, we began working on her baby registries...WOW!  How things have changed.....everything seems so expensive and there are so many choices....Decisions, Decisions....glad I'm not in charge of researching and  making the decisions....lol! 
...Peek-a-Boo...the cutest baby boutique...
...We spent most of our time in Buy Buy Baby...



Wedding Bells...
On Thursday,  Ali and I went with my sister to help with some wedding preparations for my neice's May wedding and shower gifts.....We had to laugh because while we were in a check out line we looked down and my sister still had on her house shoes.....
I guess you can call it "mom of the bride brain"...if you've been there and done that, you know what I'm talking about....It can get real crazy!



Welcome Spring...
Yesterday was the first day of spring.  There is something exciting about the beginnings of spring after a long winter. Our weather is hit and miss as it is  trying to figure out which season it is...Last Friday the temp was in the 80's. We, since, have had rain and  rain mixed with  ice...Today, we have a fire blazing in the fireplace, which I love, but I am looking forward to tulips, hanging ferns, shorts, sandals...and the hummingbirds.


Surprise for Mamo...
Dinner at the Bristow Country Club...then,
...My brother, sister and I surprising my mom with a new SUV...
...This is one happy Momma..When she finally accepted the fact that it was really hers, the first thing she said..."I hope I don't mess it up"....She's been known to back into things! ...lol!  But, haven't we all?!

Girl's Trip...Country Club Plaza in KC...
Well, the girls and I decided we needed a girl's trip...What we really wanted to do was take off to San Fransico to Napa Valley but decided since Lindsay was prego, we would stay closer to home.  It turned out to be an easy drive and a great trip to the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri.  It is an upscale shopping district and was the first shopping center in the World designed  to accomodate shoppers arriving by automobile.  We stayed on the Plaza so it was convenient to all the shops and restaurants.  Fifteen blocks and endless possibilities.

The Plaza is hoppin' with Easter bunnies during this season of the year.
...A gift is a Blessing...and I have two of them...xoxo!


"Safe Haven".... movie based on the novel by Nicholas  Sparks...enjoyed this romantic thriller with the girls...


During a rest  break from shopping, our little princess decides to kick for her Aunt Ali!!!

Sunday Brunch with the girls and Tisha, one of their sweet, college friends, who lives in the KC area.
Tisha spent many week-ends coming home with Ali from OU...fun times!

(March 9th)...We are marching day by day with our countdown to our little princess' arrival;  however, on this evening,  we slowed down the beat to celebrate  Her momma's  32nd birthday which  is tomorrow.

Celebrating at The Tavern on Brady Street....Our time with the girls and their guys is never without interesting conversations....plus, the food was delicious...as always, fun times!

KJRH...Alison's debut....

When Ali was younger, she always said that she wanted to be a newscaster or a teacher....Well, she went into education where she definitely found her calling; BUT, I must say, I thought she rocked it commercializing the "pasta boat".....on KJRH.....thanks to her friend she got a chance....not newscasting but speaking on Channel 2 News, Tulsa.



...LOVE IS:  weddings and seeing old high school friends...
