Water Fun

Me and a few friends decided that we wanted to go to the water park today. This was a last of the minute thing that we decided on sunday night at 10:00. We got up and around by 10:00 in the morning to go. This water park is a hour away so we wanted to get there when it opened. We have a new sister who has moved here in the last few months. We was hoping that this would be a way to get to know her better. She is a single mom of four, and from what I can tell she is very sweet. I took some pictures of the park. So I will post them for everyone to see. Our trip got cut short but that was o.k. with me. Sis Ambers little girl got hurt she somehow hit her head and puntured it. Not a pretty sight. So her mom took her to the first aid to patch her up. We decided that it was time to go after that. But the kids did have a great time. And the little girl was awesome. She was a brave little girl. I will post a few pictures know.







We stayed at the part for about two hours but I think the older kids could of stayed all day. They had this thing called a lazy river we loved it. They gave you a tube and the water would push you in a circle. The kids loved this, they had two big water slides for the kids. And a obstacle course for the older kids to do. It was a very relaxing day and God had a lot of mercy on us. Ambers daughter was o.k. and it could of turned out so bad. Thank you God for watching over us all the time.

TIME IS COMING SOON

Fridays seem to be such a busy day for me. It is the day I spend all day in town running errands for my husband. Usually picking up checks and dropping checks off. I always have so much that I want to do and I always don't have the time to do it all. But I will eventually find the time, I always do. Well tomorrow is Saturday and I have lots planned again. Our house in Drumright is so embarrassing the yard needs mowed so bad. The problem is that the house is on the main road for the whole world to see. We don't live close enough to just get over there real quick or anything. And I haven't been ables to find anyone who wants to mow it. So hopefully I will get to mow tomorrow.

I was looking at the calender yesterday and I got so excited. We have a trip planned to Portland, OR. coming up in August. And I realized that it is just two weeks away. This is where me and Lee started our life together and where we buried our first born. So as you can tell it is a very special place for me. I will get to spend time with Dennis and Trina who mean the world to me. They gave me a place to stay when I first came to Oregon. They sang in my wedding and she was in my wedding, and her dad married us. So as you can tell they are very important to me. And I am looking forward to spending some time together. I was remembering a post that Trina wrote awhile back about how to be a good guest. So I think I will read it again so that I do things right. lol...hehehe....

I am wanting to go to the coast were me and Lee went for our honeymoon. I am looking forward to having so many wonderful memories flooding my mind. It is weird how living in a place for such a short time still feels like home to me. I am hoping that God will bless us on this trip. We would like to get to visit with several different ones who have made a difference in our lives in some way or another. We booked our trip about a month ago and the time has gone by so fast. So ready or not Trina here we come.

BLESSINGS

It is late thursday evening and I am listening to my music and thinking about how good God is to us. As I was reading Michelle S. blog today and she was talking about all the blessings God has done for her. I thought that maybe I should tell you guys about a few of my blessings.
As most of you know, the story about how me and Lee met. I believe this is one of those things that God did. I was living in Arkansas and one day I decided that I wanted a change. And at that time in my life I wasn't the best person. I had made a lot of wrong choices in life. But for some reason I felt like it was time to do something different and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I guess you could say I was a little lost. So I decided to go to Oklahoma with my mom and her husband. When I got to Oklahoma I met a young sister who asked me if I wanted to go on a trip with her. Since I really had no plans I thought that it might be a nice idea. So not to long later we took a trip to Oregon. When we arrived I felt like this place was home. And I must say I hadn't felt that in such a long time. It was there that I met Lee. We pretty much new instantly that we would get married. We just seemed to fit so perfectly. You could say that he completed me. In two weeks we were engaged and three months later we were married. This was such a blessing for me. God provided a companion for me. I dated lots of guys and God would always let me know they were not the one, he had the one for me waiting on me to be ready. I am so sorry that I was so stubborn and I had to go through so much before I got this blessing because of my stubborness.
After me and Lee got married I got pregnant right away. I was so happy, my life was perfect. I married the man of my dreams and know I was going to have a baby. I remember at the beginning of my pregnancy I felt as though something wasn't quit right with the baby. I believe God told me this so I would be prepared. I was so sick with this pregnancy. I pucked so much that I would start pucking up my stomach lining. When I got to the end of the pregnancy I remember telling Lee's mom that the baby wasn't moving as much. I figured this was because I was at the end and there wasn't enough room. I must say that the delivery was quit intense. And I ended up having a still born little boy. The blessing in this story is that God prepared me in many ways ahead of time. I remember feeling so good after he was born. I believe God gave me strength beyond measure. He made me a stronger person because of this trial. I was very sad, but I think it would of been harder if God hadn't given me those signs ahead of time.
I believe with all of my heart that the trials we go through are for a reason. And at times we might not understand them but eventually we will. This is just some of the most important things that me and Lee went through at the beginning of our marriage. And I believe that God did it so we would learn to lean him. God had way more faith in me than I had in myself. He let me go through something that I would of never thought that I could have. I thank you God for always being there for me and taking care of me and my family.
Then ten months later I gave birth to a healthy little boy. God decided to take my first born but he gave me another son. And I am so thankful for that. Elisha has been such a treasue to me. God has been with me so many times and has given me so many things to be thankful for. We named our first boy Elijah and I will always remember him. He made me a stronger person.

HOUSE IN DRUMRIGHT 1

I have decided to go ahead and show you guys our house in Drumright. I am so excited to get this house done and sold. So I ask that everyone do some praying that this will get done and sold. I took some pictures of the outside and inside. So when you see these just remember it is a work in progress.


Lee and Bro. Josh talking about what to do to make this more marketable.


This is the wall that seperates the kitchen from the living and dining rooms. We believe it should be gone.


Know this is what I call progress. Bro. Josh is working hard on the demo. The wall is know gone. Whahooo.......


This is the fireplace that we will be redoing. Lee is going to make it look awesome.


This is the outside of the house. I think it is beautiful, and I hope when we are done we can sell it to someone who will feel the same way.

Not sure is I told any of you about our basement flooding. The problem is fixed now thanks to my mom. When we redid some of the sewer problems the dirt got piled up and it was leading the water towards our basement. Not a good thing at all. My mom the wonderful mother that she is got a shovel and moved the dirt to redirect it. So everything that was in our basement pretty much got ruined. So I took some pictures for you all to see what a lovely mess I have to clean up. By the way the water got about 2 to 3 feet high so things were floating around. I had my scrap book bag with all my loose pictures in it down there. And they are all ruined. I was quite upset at first. But that is just life.


What a mess!

Wow that was work!!!!

I had told you that we was having a van cleaning party today. And I must say that we sure did. I was so tired by the time we got done. Three of my good friends came over to join in on the fun. We started about 8:30 this morning and didn't get all done until around 3:00. We did take a small lunch break though. I could not believe how dirty my van was, I was so embarassed by the grim that I found. I was glad though that I have good enough friends that have the same problems as me. We did a awesome job working as a team to get this chore done. The kids had a blast playing with all there friends. Me, Michelle B., and Silvia worked on our vans and Michelle S. was sweet enough to help us with the kids (Thank YOU). She made lunch for the kids, for some reason when I get started on a project I have a hard time stopping. So the kids should be thankful that someone was there to tend to there needs. I was on a mission that I wanted done. We took some pictures while we were cleaning the vans so I will post them.


Me and Silvia posing for the camera. Love you Silvia!!!



Michelle B. working her little heart out!!! Good job Michelle.



The kids having a blast.



How does this happen to our vans? Could it be our children? Surely they wouldn't spill things, would they. After all the work that we did I forgot to take a picture of what our vehicles looked like. Believe me they were a 100% better. Michelle S. took alot of the pictures for me. Thats why I don't have a picture of her on here. So sorry Michelle S. but thank you for coming and spending the day with us.

Thanks Lindsay

As you all can see, my blog got a new dew. And I am very happy with it. I will need some help trying to do a few things but I am sure I can find someone who will help (right Trina). Well for know I would like to thank Lindsay for doing such a wonderful job for me. There is no way I would of got this done with out her. I have definetly become a religious blogger. I have been thinking about the mobile blogging also. I am going to do a little more research but I think it would be awesome to take a picture with my phone, type a few words and send it to my blog. I am quite intrigued by it all. So if anyone has any information on it let me know. I am very interested.

CLEAN THAT VAN

I have decided it is time to get my van cleaned out. I have let it go for way to long. So tomorrow morning I am having a van cleaning party and everyone is invited to bring theres on over and we can get it done together. I bought a new shampoo machine about 2 months ago and have not used it once. So tomorrow we are breaking it out. I plan on turning on the sprinklers for the kids to play. So they will stay out of our way hopefully. I invited a few friends to bring there vans over, so hopefully we will achieve our goal. To have a clean vehicle for at least a week. I will take some pictures of us tomorrow, (if I don't forget) to post on here.
