Family Trip to Missouri

Last weekend we decided to make a family trip up to Missouri to see my Mom's family.  We all left Friday after work and came back on Sunday.  We got to see almost all of our family while there and had a fantastic time.  Growing up, when we would go up there, we always had to go to Springfield to the Bass Pro.  This was Hailee and Jackson's first trip there.

We also went to the cemetery to visit my Grandad's grave.

My cousin Josh works at the Republic pool so we got special privileges with that.  We got to go swimming after the pool closed.  That means no waiting in lines and having the entire thing to ourselves.  It was so much fun!

Guess Who's Going to Be Parents...

You guessed it...David and I.  We found out a week after my Dad passed.  I thought I was only 5 weeks along but when I went to the doctor last week he said I was 7 weeks.  The tentative due date is January 10th.  We are SO excited!  It has been a bittersweet moment.  God has given us new life to rejoice in during this time of sadness.  I got to go to New York City to do some promo videos for my pump company and had the chance to go down to Times Square.  There I bought Baby Tarver's first shirt...

A Time of Sorrow

Last week on Tuesday, May 12th my Dad passed away.  I will never forget the call I got from my Mom that morning telling me.  It felt...and still feels...like a horrible dream.  This has been the hardest thing to go through.  I thought, knowing he was no longer in pain and dealing with all of his medical issues that this wouldn't be so hard.  Boy, was I completely wrong.  My Mom's church family and our church family has been incredible through all of this...bringing us food, calling and checking on us, cards, etc.  The Sunday before he passed was Mother's Day and am so thankful we all got together that night to celebrate.  We had such a blast that night.  Here are the last couple of pics of him. 

It has been so good to hear how my Dad has changed peoples' lives in the short time he was here.  Dad, you will be missed more than you could have ever imagined.  I love you very much!

Hailee Turns 4

Wow how time has flown!  My niece Hailee turned 4 this last weekend.  She is such a precious little girl that ALWAYS makes me laugh.  Saturday we got to celebrate her big day.

An Attempt at Eating Healthy

For those of you who know me, this will come as no surprise but I am one of the pickiest eaters ever.  And I absolutely HATE it!  I am learning to branch out though.  Last week I bought stuff at the store to make chicken ceasar salads.  This weekend I put it together...and it was delicious!  David even said it was the best homemade chicken ceasar salad he's had...that's HUGE!

2010 Oklahoma Memorial Marathon

I am so proud of the hubby.  This morning he ran the 1/2 marathon.  He basically did no training and ran it in 2 hours 4 minutes.  Congrats Babe!!

 

My Kiddos

Just wanted to post a few pictures of my kiddos.  They are just so cute!

Isabel will do just about anything to see outside when the door's open.

And I mean ANYTHING!
