CDC Warning: How you catch the Swine Flu....

not to downplay the seriousness of the swine flu...

Don't be offended.....

I didn't get around to telling everyone yesterday! I told my mom and dad in Arizona, while we were there last week....and we told G's mom and dad Saturday night. Then Sunday morning I decided to go ahead and just tell people...so, if you were not told in person, please do not be offended! We are pregnant again and are expecting the arrival time to be around Uncle Jon's birthday, November 25th...we are very excited and a little nervous that everything will go ok. Kayli has her request in for a little sister...Hudson, I'm sure if he knew all about it, would request a little brother to wrestle with...daddy has requested 2 and once and mommy just wants a health baby (boy or girl).

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail...

We were out today, YEAH, enjoying the sunshine...walking home from Kayli's school (well, I was walking and they were riding in the red wagon) and this is what we saw...


(you can get a better look if you click on the pictures...)

Can you see the two little bunnies...we were walking slowing and quietly towards them to see how close we could get...then hudson came up and wanted to see...

Rain, rain go away!!

Here is a house update! We are waiting for the slab to be poured...but here is what the lot looks like now...we are hoping that the rain doesn't get us too far behind in construction...we'll see.

Easter Weekend...

We were very excited to be in Owasso this weekend for Easter! Since Jon and Kristy moved closer we all got to be together this year, for the first time! Our kids had never spent Easter together and really enjoyed hunting for eggs on Saturday, which was a beautiful day! We had yummo food, thanks Grandma Slayden!!! Carla made yummy, big meals for both Sat and Sunday. I think I am still full from Sunday's ham and sides!!! Carla bought all the grand kids matching outfits for Sunday and they were really cute!

We had GREAT services at Friendship on Sunday. Geoff taught in the college class and then his Dad did an excellent job during the main service...the sanctuary was packed and eveyone seemed to enjoy the wonderful music! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that you were all reminded of the foundation of our faith...that He is Risen!!!

Thank God for FOLEX...

This past weekend Geoff went to acquire some carpet cleaner that will take orange crush out of the carpet...my mom suggested we try Folex. This is what Geoff ended up getting after some random people told him to try it. Fast forward to today and we are singing the praises of Folex and the timing of it's arrival in our home. I am sitting at the computer checking facebook and email...waiting for bedtime to arrive...along comes hudson in his jams ready for bed. He walks up to me and says, "uh, oh, brown"....you know he isn't talking much these days, and this doesn't mean chocolate kisses. I told him I would follow him to his room, where I thought I was putting him to bed. I patted his back only to find it wet and, yes, BROWN!!! He has been taking some meds for his ear infection and it's been giving him some very runny poop! Well, I will spare you the pics that I did take, and just tell you that I found puddles on the carpet, under the loft bed and on the slide. And, OH MY......THE SMELL, THE SMELL, THE SMELL!!! Needless to say, he ended up in the tub while I used the folex to clean up that horrid mess...he is in bed now, clean and fresh, but the house has a different kind of smell! Has anyone noticed that things like this only happen when daddy is away? Well,lucky daddy, he isn't here to appreciate it...that is what the pics were for....oh, the joys of parenting!
