Climb for Komen!

Over the past two weeks I have been heading up one of our projects for Komen- Climb for Komen. It has really been a fun job- I pretty much got to plan and do everything on my own; my boss is so great and supportive of everything that I want to do.


The last session was when Chris and most of my GA friends came. We had so much fun!


Here is Chris, looking manly in the fashionable pink t-shirt that I designed.



In true coward form, Chris and I watched as the others scaled the wall!


Here is Darcy at the top...



Jessica making her way up...



and Karen...



Me!!! Thank goodness I cut my nails off the night before!



I was very thankful that my belayer didn't drop me! Great work, Karen!



And finally here is Chris making his way to the top- Darcy is belaying him.



The girls...


What a great fundraiser- a special thanks to Tiffany Martinelli, the rock wall instructor for OU for volunteering time every other day for the last two weeks to teach everyone participating. We raised $155.00 for Komen!

Jacey's Baby Shower

This weekend was Jacey's baby shower in Lubbock. Tif went to Lubbock for the fun while Chris was stuck at home studying...finals are coming so quickly!

With a little help from her mom (and Lynsey's mom in a 5th grade summer program :) ) , Tif sewed all of the blankets and pillows. It had been a while since her last backstitch, but we loved the finished product.

Here is the diaper cake that we made for Derek and Jacey...






Here are our beautiful nieces: Peyton, Morgan, and Addyson. Tif and the girls had a fun road trip from Amarillo to Lubbock and back.


The shower!


Jacey with the stuffed lamb from Richard and Gloria...
This is a traditional gift that they have given all of their grandchildren.








Here is the OU blanket that Tif's mom made for the new baby.





The girls and the sweetest baby, Georgia.

After Georgia left, Addy found a new best friend.

Here is the mommy-to-be with the diaper cake.

We can't believe that 8 months has gone by so fast! We are excited to meet our new nephew, Brooks in just a few weeks!

We are praying for a safe and easy delivery for Jacey!

Brad and Alison's Shower in White Deer

April showers bring babies and weddings in May!

April has proven to be just as crazy and busy as we had anticipated, but we are so happy to be a part of all of the fun!
Last weekend was Brad and Alison's shower in White Deer. We all had a great time and it was fun to see all of the new kitchen gadgets!


Of course, we always have to have a big lunch together, so here we all are on the patio before the shower....
