Easter Sunday

The Saturday before Easter Sunday, our family passed out about 75 red roses with invitations to church. We bought 100 and thought they would go really quickly. But being in such a rural community, we spent hours just passing out the 75.











some of our people






Timothy and J.R.















Hadlee hunting Easter eggs. Due to the rain, we had the hunt in the Sunday School rooms.





Darrin hunting eggs also






















We went to my Uncle Kent's house, and spent Easter afternoon with his family



Daddy & Hadlee waiting on dinner



our family (of course, Hadlee's not looking :))


better, but still not looking! lol



my happy, smilin' girl

Catchin' up...

Okay, since it's been over a month since I posted, and everybody has totally given up on me...lol...


Here's a start at catching up. I could REALLY keep you for a VERY long time, and probably bore you to sleep with everything that has happened in the last month, but I'll spare you...and me! :)




This blog is basically about Hadlee, but I am going to post some "progress" shots of our house.



hallway (before carpet...obviously!)





this is what we had to work with - since we moved all our stuff into the trailer before it was moved. so fun! :)

Hadlee's room -painted and ready for carpet

Timothy's idea for Hadlee's ceiling

her closet doors

Timothy working on our bedroom

another pic of the mess we had :)

our only source of heat before the electricity and propane were hooked up (we actually enjoyed it - especially Timothy! lol)

I've got to post a couple of Hadlee since this is "her" blog. :) Our little "artist" at work. She had just finished painting the paneling and a window in the living room, and we decided to give her a "safe spot" to work.

excuse the hair - this is what happens when you do a ponytail on a regular basis. :)

her first nap in her new room.

Oklahoma Snow!

I didn't get too many pictures of the final results, but we ended up with 8-9 inches! The snow's beautiful, but we're very anxious to get moved in!

our trailer "through the snow" - maybe we'll be in it someday! =)

"Maggie" Grandma's collie - and Hadlee's nightmare! :) Hadlee is very skiddish around the dog!

Outside!!

Hadlee is thoroughly enjoying the nice weather!! Today we went to the park, and she has spent lots of time outdoors with mom. Here's some pics I snapped of her in front of mom and dad's door. The first one was totally natural - not posed at all. I liked it so much (minus the tennis ball and sketchers...lol), that I wanted to get a "good one". I'll probably be posting some edited, better shots on my other site later.

Fast and Random ~

** I apologize...once again, blogger doesn't want to leave my pics and text they way I put them, and I totally don't have time to fight with it! So unscramble as you go...lol
I'm over at our house this morning (supposed) to be doing some cleaning. lol I'm not getting much done on here though! Anyway, we FINALLY got our new computer - and I can now actually take pix off my camera. I can't wait to get back in the groove once we get settled. However that's looking like it could be a few weeks away still. I told someone that I would post before and after pics of our cabinets (maybe my in-laws??) so...

here's "before"...














and "after"...














and the girls "helping" =)
of course, by the time we got done, we knew we were moving. sigh! Timothy just can't wait to paint another set of cabinets black. lol

our first Sunday at Drumright

** Some snapshots **

Buddies ~ Hadlee is going to miss Madi! :(



a typical Hadlee face...she has totally started wrinkling up her nose and grinning until you can't see her eyes (the KitKat on her face, however, is not typical!)





Hadlee got to ride Grandpa's golf cart from their house to the college the other day. Can you tell her Grandpa likes her a little bit??


we went out to eat and bowling last night for my b-day ~~ me and my fav. guy! ;)
and of course, this would be my fav. little girl! :) She was much too interested in all the lights in the arcade to look at Daddy and his camera!

Still job-hunting and packing...

Just a quick update...

We went down to Drumright for the weekend. Saturday we went looking for a mobile home - and were successful! It's not a brand new one, but it's in excellent condition. And even has some special "perks" with it. =) (furniture, washer, dryer, and all appliances...some reeeally nice stuff!! and a wood-burning fireplace which we both like!) We're getting a super deal on it, as well.

Timothy did an exceptional job Sunday morning, and we're trusting God to continue to help him as he studies and prepares for preaching on a regular basis. He still doesn't have a job, but he has enough side jobs, including some work on the church and our home, to keep him busy for a while. He has some job potentials when the weather warms up, and we'll just keep looking. =)

That's about the scoop. My house is completely torn apart, and the boxes are starting to stack. We'll all be glad to get settled...again.
