The Holidays are HERE!

I hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving!


We had a nice time at the in-laws. Everyone was there, even Bo. He was a handful. Perfect picture:


I can't believe that we are 3 1/2 weeks away from Baby Girl Bradt's arrival! INSANE! I have got to take some down time to get things completed (including Christmas shopping). I want everything to be done by this time next week... With a Christmas party Friday night, Bedlam Saturday night, and a date with some friends Sunday night, I am not sure when I will get that accomplished. This week I have been occupied with getting all of our DHS kids Christmas Wish Lists completed. BREAKS my heart each year. This year, one of our kids wanted a bike. So, we decided to Black Friday shop. It was nuts! Even in the small towns that we went to, I cannot imagine what the city was like. We did get a good deal on the bike though!! Making those kids' Christmas dreams come true just absolutely warms my heart. The BEST way to get into the Season's spirit! ~Amy

Another Big Day!

The family got together today to celebrate Debby's birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBY!

Then about 3pm, Little Miss Bradt got bedding! Woo-hoo! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!





Look at this amazing bedskirt! GREAT JOB SANDY! XoXoXo


Happy Week-O'-Thanksgiving! ~Amy

Step by Step

We are getting closer everyday!

I can't believe Sunday will be 6 weeks! I think I have hit panic mode... Daycare, Dreft, Swaddling, these are the things that frighten me!

This week we went to see Ben Folds at the OKC Philharmonic and it was pretty cool. I forget how awesome live music from a large orchestra can be!


This has been quite a week for weather. Monday, we had a tornado and an earthquake within an hour of each other. Is this a great state, or what? ~Amy

It's A Miracle!!

So step 1 & 2 are FINALLY done! We have OFFICIALLY cleaned out the "nursery" and it is finally painted! Just a tip, don't use Valspar paint. It took us 3 (in some spots 4) coats of paint to cover beige walls! Ugh!

Happy Birthday Kimmy!

Well today is Zac's favorite aunt Kimmy's birthday. We went to Watonga to celebrate and had a nice time. It has been a while since we had seen the family and it was a great time.


The nursery is well on its way; pictures to follow next weekend. We are about 1/2 coat of paint left to make it complete, then we can start placing the furniture. I have to paint the changing table and side table, a shelf and an easel and it should be smooth sailing!

EXCITING news has happened - our dear friends Jon and Chelsey have signed up for adoption, and they are welcoming their son, London Harvey, November 8th! Yea, London! CAN'T wait to meet him!

Have a great week! Amy

T Minus 10 Weeks

Well, Mistletoe Market is over and now it is TIME to focus on the nursery! The birthmother is due in less than 10 weeks (and I just know she is coming early). PANIC has set in! I have a TON to do! I cannot believe how close we are... this is nuts!

Here is the good news... We have officially narrowed Baby Girl Bradt's name down to 1out of 8. That is a HUGE improvement from 28, which is we were at on Saturday night. It is so hard to name a girl! Here is another issue with the girl, clothes! I am starting to think that I am the only person on the planet that does not like frilly, feathery clothes and bows! YUCK! I keep telling people, I like baby clothes that look like something that I would wear, so leopard ruffled pants are out. ;) I know, I know, I need to get over it. Surely I will, right? ~Amy

It's a WHAT???

So we had our big reveal party Wednesday night. My dear friend Chelsey, helped make the party lovely.

We were so excited for the party and had all of our close friends and family join in for pizza, fun, and PINK cake! YES! I said it... PINK!

WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!! I can barely handle it! I just knew it was a boy. Had his name picked out, the colors of his nursery ready, and then BOOM! GIRL! My mother-in-law was so excited, and I am excited for her, because she needs a girl. We had a cute sign when you walked in, and you signed your name next to what you thought it was. The boy's list was BY FAR longer than the girl's.

So cute, so fun, so pink. I need to get my mind situated on this and start preparing for little drama! ~Amy
