Oh Happy Day!

Such a great day! Connor tried out for our Bixby Swim team and made it on Bronze upper level! Extremely well for a beginner & his age group! We are so so proud! John & Zach took him because Adi had gymnastics. Life is so busy with 4 kids...all in activities...we had to get a sitter for Austin. Ugh :/
We are just thrilled to be settling into Bixby and getting the kids into groups they love.

Amazing Austin

Happy Birthday to our amazing boy Austin! You have filled the past 2 years with so much love, joy, chaos, laughter, and tons of adventure! Each day we are thankful for you. We love you more than words! You got sick this week...so we are having your party in a couple weeks and plan to spend the day snuggling, eating cupcakes, and playing around the house. Thank you for making our lives complete. John Austin Gage

PS...I Love this picture of you with your Big Blue eyes, cookie in mouth, and truck in hand...

Too Long To Do

We are settling into Bixby. I totally realize I am writing to myself here, but I will not say how I really feel! Life is tough sometimes.
I have SO many goals for this year. Create some income as a SAHM...super tough. I have always had some income of my own until this year, and that is hard!
Fitness: YOGA ...
Keep sewing. I suck at sewing!
Get our home ready to sell...we need out of our neighborhood and into a farmhouse. BAD

Other items on my list:
get back to riding horses
summer garden
organize shutterfly (HUGE job...ugh)

That is it for my boring post.

"Letting Go of Your Dream Home"

So...we moved one last time. We are in Bixby, Ok. I am already missing Edmond! Addison misses her best friend, Connor misses his best friend, we miss it all!! I found an amazing home here, and the fates were all against us on the time frame. We had to settle and get a good home, yet another stepping stone. I am thankful we have a home, in a nice, sweet neighborhood...but I am still kinda devastated we lost the home we could have lived in forever. I hate when things are "not meant to be". We are settling in here, and looking forward to the day it is our turn to move into a little french country cottage...on a farm. That happens, right? Until then...

Almost done!

Not sure what hardware would suit this extremely old, rickety buffet. Mackenzie makes it better.

Buffet revival

Today's project

I bought this buffet for 100$...and I'm not sure if ifs even worth that! Nevertheless...I am going to see what I can do for this old guy.
