Crazy Week!!

Well let me tell you what happened!! On Wednesday night I received a phone call from EXTREME HOME MAKE-OVER yeah crazy right. See I nominated my mom and dad for this to get her house re-done and they wanted some more information. So I was on the phone with this guy for over an hour answering questions and talking about my family. Yeah I know that there are thousands and thousands of applications they receive but man just to have them call made me SO excited!!!! This on any means does not mean that we are going to get it but hey at least they noticed us. . . So Thursday and Friday was rather a blur. . .I had to get together so much information and pictures of the family and house and fax and e-mail them to this one guy. It was absolutely crazy!! but hey if it means that somehow by me doing all this that my mom and dad have a sound home to live in I would have done SO much more!! I just keep praying that God use myself and the Extreme Home Make-Over people to give my mom and dad a miracle! Man that would be so awesome!!! so anyone who is reading this please please keep praying for God to bless my mom and dad! Thank you.

Friday Evening. . . .. . . . ..

Straight to the school carnival, the kids had a blast doing all the little games and jumping in the big bounce around they really enjoyed themselves. They played the candy walk(cake walk), Plinko, got balloon flower hats from the clown, mini golf game, ring toss, bean bag toss, piggy racing, and lots more. . .then

Well the girls and I was off to a Youth Revolution Service. Martin Gnat was there preaching (he is the President of the Missouri Pentecostal Youth) for any of you who don't know who he is. He preached about moving forward not looking back but to stand out and be the one that makes a difference, That it only takes one to start a revolution. Man it was powerful!

We then came home and Sissy had a little friend stay the night Kylie. But sis and Purity fell asleep and Kylie stayed up until 4:30 in the morning watching movies with me. LOL man I think I had a little friend stay the night with me, haha but it was one of the first time that she had ever stayed with someone other than family so it was OK.

Saturday:

We all got up early tried to get some cleaning down around the house but the kids were to busy playing mostly, LOL Zaden (Lori's boy) came down to spend the day with us. we all got ready and went to our town's biggest parade that we have every year (the Apple Blossom Parade) the kids had fun and I enjoyed the theme of this year's parade. It was 'having fun with reading' so all the floats and stuff was centered around books. It was fun. My favorite was the Cat and the Hat float and some of the Church floats that had scriptures on Huge Bible's. That is a way to get thousands to read a word from God Right!!! Anyway I think the kids enjoyed the candy the most!! I liked that one of the floats gave out books instead of candy and it was based on their grade gave each kid a book on their level! Wow that is a lot of kids. I hope they do that every year. Purity got "The Bridge to Tarabitha" (Sorry if I misspelled that) but she already had that book so she traded with Feather and got a Judy Blume book.

We went to the grocery store after that and got some things came home the kids played while I made some sour cream and chive mash potatoes and a cake to go to the Church picnic. Of course you know I was running late but we got there all the same had good fellowship and food! It was fun, the kids then played basketball in the church gym for awhile and then we went home still heavy two (Zaden and Kylie) Ha ha. They love us and want to stay with us. They played for awhile and Mom came by helped me unplug my vacuum (THANKS MOM) then she took Zaden home. (I love you little man and really enjoyed spending today with you and missed you so much please come down more on the weekends that the others are at their mom's. LOVE YOU) Anyway then the girls put in a movie (The Bee Movie) and it wasn't even 10 minutes into it and I had 2 asleep on me Kylie and Purity. Sissy stuck it out until Candee came and got Kylie but it wasn't even 10 min after that that she was out.

Sunday. . . .

We got up and the girls really helped mommy so much they right away started cleaning and helping around the house. Wow did they wake up on the right side of the bed or what!!!! We got the downstairs straightened up and the meatballs made for tonight's supper. Then yes again off the Church we went. It was a good service about being glad to be in the sanctuary of God. We came home and Kylie came with us again. ha ha she loves us!! I got the rest of supper going with Eric's help, we had spaghetti with homemade meatballs, garlic bread, and ratatouille. Purity while we were doing that made our dessert. Her first (on her own) decorated cake. It is her little lamb. I love it and put pictures below. (I love making my kid's own birthday cakes)Well Kylie's mom and dad came over for supper. It was a good time. I love you guys (Candee and Don). I really enjoy spending time with friends, and Eric has become good friends with Don and it is good for him to have someone to talk to. Don and Eric are such opposites that they both balance each other. I think it is great!


Overall it has been a busy and crazy week!! Love all thanks for reading
