January:
- Lou turned 1 on January 28th. We celebrated her first birthday at our house with family, friends, and 77 degree weather!
- Three days after Lou's birthday party, Oklahoma was hit with a blizzard. We got 15 inches of snow!
- Bailey started Mother's Day Out at our church, Heritage UMC. She went on Tuesday's and loved it! This allowed Lou and I to enjoy a little one on one time.
- Greg and I ran in the St. Patrick's Day 5k. It was my third 5k.
- I started couponing to save money on items for our home. As most of you know, this turned out to be something I'm pretty good at!
- We lost my mom's mom at the end of March. We got Parker's name from her and my grandpa (he passed in 2009). Their last name was Park.
- My brother and sister in law opened The Mustache Goods & Wears in Fayetteville, AR. We are proud of them, and the store has done very well it's first year in business. If you're ever in Fayetteville, check it out or shop online at http://www.shopthemustache.com/.
- We finally landscaped our front yard with help from the Francy's, McKinney's, and Burnett's. It's nice to have friends who know what they're doing with plants because we didn't have a clue ... and we still don't!
- Greg turned 31 on May 12th
- We celebrated 9 years of marriage on May 25th!
- Bailey turned 3 on June 2nd
- Bailey started 11 weeks of soccer lessons with Cole Chesser at SoccerCity. She loved it! Unfortunately, this was the hottest summer ever and we burned up (indoor with no AC) during her practices.
- Baby #3 is on its way!!!
- Greg had his wisdom teeth removed. I'll never forget how he acted coming out of anesthesia. Too funny!
- Taught my first couponing class with Dawn Chesser. It was nice to teach others the secrets we had learned in only 3 short months of couponing.
- We went on vacation to Mt. Magazine, AR, with Pops & Weasey. The cabin and view were amazing, but sadly, I was so sick that we had to come back home the next morning leaving Pops & Weasey there to have fun without us. We'll have to try that vacation again someday!
- Greg finished his second degree (in Finance) at OSU. We are very proud of him because it's hard going to school full time, work full time, and having a family. Just call him SuperMan-Dad-Husband!
- Dawn and I taught our second couponing class for ladies at our church. Again, this was another great opportunity to share our money saving secrets.
- I started writing this blog. Thank you to everyone who takes time out of their day to read what's going on in our crazy lives!
- This was our 9th year to participate in the Tulsa Komen Race for the Cure. Our team consisted of 27 family members, friends, and buns in the oven.
- Greg and Jared Hood ran the 5k Warrior Run in Tulsa. I can't wait to participate with them next year!
- Lou had her first dental check up. She is not a fan of the dentist, which was no surprise because she doesn't like the doctor either.
- Baby #3 is a GIRL!
- We went on vacation with the Chesser's and Moore's to Eureka Springs, AR. This was Greg and my first kid free vacation. Of course we missed the girls, but we had a BLAST!
- Greg and I celebrated being together for 16 years ... can you believe it! He asked me out when we were 15 years old.
- I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. No fun.
- I turned 32 on December 7th. For those keeping track, yes, I'm 5 months and 5 days older than Greg. No, he doesn't let me forget that.
- Greg officially graduated from OSU; however, we did not attend his commencement. Who actually goes to those things ... on the second degree.
- We were blessed to make a difference in the lives of the White family after seeing their story on the Dr. Oz show. We are now blessed to call them friends, and to know first hand that God still performs miracles.
- Our master bathroom was remodeled (more on this later). Woohoo!
We hope that you and your family made some great memories in 2011, and that you are expecting even greater things in 2012!
Ephesians 4:1-3 - "... I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
